The selection of artists covered in this year's review
is influenced by the desires of our group, who had divergent preferences
as to what they wanted to see. The first weekend I was accompanied
by James Harman, Karen Lewis and David Mays. Karen and David were
the subject of my last article "Artists
in the Wild", and were in transition, venturing from their mountain
home in Oakhurst to the heart of San Francisco. James is a video
artist and computer entrepreneur, currently working in the game industry
as a 3D artist. Karen and James took on an avante quard attitude,
wanting to see work with a high "whimsical morbidity factor". David
was blissfully lost in the joy of the moment, and somehow picked a wardrobe
that matched the artwork we viewed each day. The second weekend I
was accompanied by a group of artists and animators from Yosemite
Entertainment, Gloria Garland, a graduate of Art Center in Pasadena,
now studying for a degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Joan
Delahanty, a dedicated illustrator and computer artist, who came all the
way from Seattle for the show, and wanted to see watercolorists.
I wanted to see something that I just couldn't refuse to take home, but
didn't cost TOO much. Then there was Jimmy, who just
wanted to watch the World Series in peace. Luckily there was a TV at the
hotel.
