June Ambrosek

June Ambrosek
June was born in England, but she has lived in Oregon, USA, since 1968.  Her love of the natural beauty of land and sea in this environment, this amazing State, inspires her to express herself in various Art forms.  She regards her response to her environment as “….emotion recollected in tranquility .”  She is never happier than when she has fresh paint on her palette and a brush in her hand.

Nature is full of surprises with the changing light from sunrise to sunset throughout the four seasons.  It is her desire to translate that beauty into Art.  At times, when her mood is just right, she prefers Abstract expression of Color, Light, Line, Texture and Vibration, sometimes peaceful and harmonious, and at other times free and undisciplined.

She tells her friends and family, “My Art is the best part of me!”

Dave Baldwin first became interested in art while studying scientific illustration under renowned illustrator Donald Sayner at the University of Arizona in the 1960s.  By the 1980s he had moved from photorealism to experimenting with various kinds of abstraction.  Subsequently, he has been building figurative abstractions with alkyd, oil, and acrylic paints, then adding sand, metallic leaf, wax, glass, and various fabrics for textural effects. 

His solo exhibition venues include Vanderbilt and Emory Universities, the Utah Shakespearean Festival (Cedar City), Thousand Oaks (CA) Civic Arts Plaza, and Grants Pass (OR) Museum of Art.  His work has been featured in Scientific American (May, 2000), Sports Illustrated (Aug. 12, 1996), and Graphic Review (Feb., 1996) and is included in the permanent collection of the National Baseball Hall of Fame Museum, Cooperstown, NY.  His painting, Fugue for the Pepper Players, was featured in Treasures of the Baseball Hall of Fame by John Thorn (1998). 

Also, Dave taught Science and Art at the Art Institute of California in San Diego.  He is a member of the International Society of Experimental Artists and the Yachats Arts Guild, and he served as juror for the 2011 “Black Baseball Heroes” Exhibition at the National Art Museum of Sports (Indianapolis).
