Description

The Ventura Visitors Center regularly features a range of local artists' works, including Laura Jespersen, Kelly Bell, Andrew Rodriguez, and more.

Laura Jespersen

Original acrylic paintings, postcards, stickers
Laura Jean Jespersen is an award-winning acrylic artist living and working in Ventura. She draws inspiration from the built and natural environment with a painterly realistic style.

Dennis Morton

Original paintings, oil on canvas

After 40 years as a flooring craftsman, Dennis discovered that the brush offered an alternative creative outlet on canvas surfaces. A longtime Ventura resident, he often depicts local area landmarks in his work and hopes they may welcome the viewer to reflect on fond memories.

Kelly Bell

Watercolor paintings and driftwood wreaths

Kelly Bell’s mother encouraged creativity by teaching her how to knit, sew, draw, and make random art out of whatever was laying around her house, yard or the beach. Now, Kelly enjoys watercolor and loves capturing landscapes, flowers, beach scenes and other subjects that inspire and bring joy. While at the beach, Kelly collects driftwood and other “treasures from the sand,” and creates wreaths adorned with seashells and sea glass.
