Catch the wave because San Diego’s art scene is pumping. First, congratulations to surfboard artist Tim Bessell who was just inducted into the class of 2023 San Diego Surfing Hall of Fame. Tim’s work has long been coveted worldwide by top wave riders, but he has really raised his work literally to museum status with creative artworks on surfboards including a mind-blowing collaboration with the Andy Warhol Foundation. Check it out online.

Meanwhile, the Quint Gallery in La Jolla has a vibrant collection of Canadian artist Monique Van Genderen’s coveted abstraction works. Perhaps one of the most cheerful collections in town. One painting is an entire wall. Big they are in size and impact, don’t miss!
