CURRENT EXHIBIT
Kindred Spirits
Loretta Boyce and Jean Purnell present Kindred Spirits, an exhibition at the Marilyn Citron O’Rourke Art Gallery at the Benicia Public Library, November 12 through January 6, 2026.
Loretta and Jean met a few years ago as classmates at Rossmoor Art Center, in Walnut Creek. By spring of 2023, they were regularly painting on location all over the East Bay. They found themselves to be kindred spirits, many times trying to meet up with a plein air group that could not find, and ultimately finding their own favorite places, up and down the coast, from Fort Bragg to Cambria. Both artists employ a "loose impressionist" style of artwork while also exploring more abstract ideas and ways of expression.
