The Catalina Island Conservancy’s Catalina: The Wild Side Art Show and Sale is celebrating its 10-year anniversary with a virtual exhibition that launched Oct. 25. More than 80 paintings (such as the one on the right) that highlight Catalina Island’s wildlands, Avalon and Two Harbors were created by 10 nationally-recognized plein air artists.
Art lovers have been able to access high-resolution images and video introductions of each piece available for sale, all of which were created especially for this show.
“Moving to an online format has created the opportunity for a wider audience to view and appreciate the work of our artists than in years past,” said Victoria Seaver Dean, Conservancy board member and event chair. “We have had a great response so far, with more than half of our paintings finding new homes!”
Many pieces are still available to add to your collection. Art lovers will be able to view and purchase works online through Nov. 7.
This year’s artists whose works are on display and available for purchase are Cindy Baron, John Budicin, John Cosby, Andy Evansen, Paul Kratter, Kim Lordier, Michael Obermeyer, Colin Page, Joe Paquet and Ron Rencher.
The Conservancy is very appreciative of the support of Capital Group as an Artist Partner

About the Conservancy
Formed in 1972, the nonprofit Catalina Island Conservancy is one of California’s oldest land trusts. Its mission is to be a responsible steward of its lands through a balance of conservation, education and recreation. Through its ongoing efforts, the Conservancy protects the magnificent natural and cultural heritage of Santa Catalina Island, stewarding approximately 42,000 acres of land and more than 60 miles of rugged shoreline. It provides an airport and 50 miles of biking and 165 miles of hiking opportunities within its road and trail system. The Conservancy conducts educational outreach through two nature centers, its Wrigley Memorial & Botanic Garden and guided experiences in the Island’s rugged interior. Twenty miles from the mainland, the Island is a treasure trove of historical and archaeological sites. It also contains numerous rare and endangered animals and plants. The Island is home to more than
60 species that are found only on Catalina. For additional information, please visit www.catalinaconservancy.org.
