Discover the artistic synergy of San Diego artists Susie Zol and Denise Cerro in their latest exhibition, "2 Artists 2 Mediums". This show features original ceramics pieces and paintings, showcasing their shared journey and creative evolution. Susie transforms her abstracted portraits into ceramics, while Denise reimagines her mixed media paintings with clay and glazes.
