Accompanying Exhibit
by noted local visual artist
NORMA CUEVAS WHITE
In this presentation for the Second Sundays at Two concert, Norma Cuevas White‘s paintings depict many familiar and beautiful locations along the Palos Verdes coastline. Her impasto application of paint models the rocky cliffs and the movement of the water in a tactile fashion, with remarkable joy and honesty. Norma resides in San Pedro, CA and is a member of several local art groups.
A selection from Rolling Hills United Methodist Church’s collection of hand-painted serigraphs by John August Swanson are also on display in the Narthex.
The Venue
The sanctuary’s acoustics are among the finest in Southern California. The venue’s idyllic sylvan setting next to the South Coast Botanic Garden on the north-east corner of Crenshaw Blvd. and Palos Verdes Drive North makes the concert experience especially pleasant.
