Surf Art Corner A Wave of Talent

 

Huntington Beach Int'l Surfing Museum Showcases Artists

 


Written by SurfWriter Girls Sunny Magdaug and Patti Kishel

If you want to see epic waves, fearless surfers, glorious beaches, and even mermaids, step into the Surf Art Corner at the Huntington Beach International Surfing Museum. 

 


Surf's always up at the museum's gallery featuring leading surf and ocean artists depicting the beauty and power of the sea and the joy of riding the waves. 


Modern, realistic, abstract, surreal. Acrylics, watercolor, pencil. Whatever the style or medium, the artists' images draw you into the beach vibe. From the kinetic energy of a Roy Gonzalez sun-fueled day...

 


to Ricky Blake's scenes of heading to the beach and catching the perfect wave,

 



hanging out at the Greek Surfboards shop on Michael Tilden's beach street,

 


enjoying the ocean view from Ron Croci's getaway retreat. 

 


A quiet Robb Havassy beach at the end of the day.

 


Or even a romantic encounter with a Colleen Gnos mermaid or one of her joyfully empowered hula dancers.


Wherever you want to go the Surf Art Corner has a wave of talent waiting for you to discover and enjoy.
