Steve Hill

Otis Art Institute for a summer class when in Junior High School.
After High School Steve attended California State University
Northridge, majoring in 2 Dimensional Fine Art. After college Steve set
up a painting studio in Santa Monica, California, where he explored
figurative and surrealistic art. He had one man exhibitions at the
Beyond Baroque Gallery and the Helen Drue Gallery in Venice, California
in the 1970's. Moving to the desert in the late 80's Steve turned his
attention to desert landscape painting in oils. Steve has exhibited and
won ribbons in many shows and his work is collected internationally.
Your purchase is tax deductible and benefits the programs of Christopher's Clubhouse.
Steve's Paintings - many depicting Joshua Tree National Park are
peaceful and captivating. Don't miss out on this amazing opportunity to
meet Steve and purchase a piece for your home.
In addition to
the opportunity to purchase an oil painting, we are excited to have the
amazing talent of harpist Dr. Vanessa Sheldon.
In 2005 Dr. Sheldon
earned a Doctorate of Musical Arts in harp and musicology from the
University of Arizona when she was honored as the University of
Arizona's youngest doctoral graduate, and, later that year, named as the
youngest college professor in the world at the College of the Desert in
Palm Desert, CA. A specialist in new and non-traditional music for
harp, highlights of her international tours include concerts in
Shanghai, Seoul, Spain, South Africa and the Kennedy Center in
Washington, D.C. as well as performances for a variety of notables
including Oprah Winfrey, Maya Angelou, and others.
In addition,
we will be graced by vocalist Carolyn Martinez: “One of the best
singers to grace the Los Angeles jazz scene.” Scott Yanow, jazz critic.
Carolyn Martinez has a repertoire of lively jazz standards, moving
ballads and Brazilian bossa novas — sung in both Portuguese and English.
Her 3-octave range yields lovely high notes and her melodic improvising
is a delight.
