From the KPBS weekend arts preview: Deena Altman: "Female Rising" opens at OMA, and is a continuation of a series shown last year at Art on 30th in North Park. In a set of eight pieces, Altman considers eight stages in a woman's life, starting in toddlerhood and stretching to elderly adulthood. Her style is considered "surreal realism," basically a mixture of realistic elements (in this case, the subject — the woman) alongside surreal or conceptual elements (here, backdrops and actions). A great example: "The Lioness at Nine (Endangered)." Details: On view Sept. 23, 2023 through Feb. 4, 2024. Museum hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday, with extended hours until 8 p.m. on Friday. Oceanside Museum of Art, 704 Pier View Way, Oceanside. $0-$10. —Julia Dixon Evans, KPBS From the museum: There is an understanding in our culture that is subtle and mostly unspoken, that women succumb to a certain second-class life. Even though there is more consciousness now of this issue it still resonates deeply, and we are all marked by it, both women and men. However, it is the females among us that suffer most from the downside of this cultural blindness that binds our growth and development. This 8-part series depicts the life of women from toddler to elder. Each age focuses on the challenges to women at certain points in their development giving us a sense of what is experienced and how these challenges both impair and energize their paths. About the artist: Deena Altman spent many years as the VP of Marketing for her national horticultural company, Altman Plants. She guided the marketing and graphic development of many plant products including a nationwide plant brand for Home Depot. She is now a full-time artist following her passion to paint. In the 12 years that she has been painting she has achieved signature status at the Watercolor USA Honor Society, the highly regarded San Diego Watercolor Society, and the Western Federation of Watercolor Societies. Her paintings have been juried into numerous museums and international exhibitions including the prestigious American Watercolor Society International Exhibition in New York, the MEAM Museum in Barcelona, The Springfield Art Museum, and the International Signature American Watermedia Exhibition in Fallbrook in which only signature members are invited to submit their work to be juried.

Sharing the lead vocal duties, Little Big Town never missed a touring opportunity, first supporting Keith Urban and the likes of Carrie Underwood starting in 2006, and most recently headlining their fifth show, The Nightfall Tour in 2020.

About the exhibition: UNDER THE INFLUENCE: Artists Pay Tribute to a Great Artist, Teacher and Friend The greatest teachers give us lessons that we unpack over a lifetime. Long after our time in classrooms become fond memories, their words of wisdom, generosity of spirit, and brilliant examples speak to us across time and distance. Under the Influence is our collective tribute to Walter Cotten whose exemplary teachings transcend any specific medium or discipline. For his former students who put his teachings into our respective art practices, Walter remains one of the defining voices whose influence is still being felt by those who were lucky to call him a dear friend. As a professor, he was a one-of-a-kind mentor and an enduring North Star for all of us who sought sanctuary and purpose creating art at San Diego State University. With his trusty canine companion, Ruby by his side, Walter pointed to the truth of always infusing one’s art with content. Walter preached the gospel of having something relevant to say regardless of the medium, and he shared the discoveries of his own life’s journey with a knowing smile behind a camera’s viewfinder. Walt’s resilient and creative spirit is alive in every former student who became a lifelong artist and friend. We form a circle of kindred spirits drawing creative sustenance from the same well. We are his brothers and sisters who answered the call to adventure of being an artist in our perilous times. These artworks exist in part because Walter Cotten provided the much-needed mentorship to light the way ahead. With his rigorous, honest and candid guidance, we learned to take an ongoing leap of faith by believing in ourselves and our individual talents as artists. What a mighty and beautiful gift indeed! Thank you, Walter. We love you, now and always. -- Neil Kendricks How to view: City Gallery, San Diego City College Oct. 21 - Dec 8, 2023 Opening Reception: 5-7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 21 Gallery Hours: 12-4 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday And by appointment Artists: Jim CavoltBarbara HolmesAnna O'CainLael CorbinTerri HughesClare PutneyJohn DillemuthRichard KeelyDina RubiolioSteven DepintoNeil KendricksJason SherryJosh EggletonBessma KhalafJames SkalmanXuxhi NaungayanClayton LewallenDaniel Weiner David HewittMatt MorrisClay West Related links: City Gallery website | Instagram | Facebook
