The Lompoc Valley Art Association’s Cypress Gallery is set to host To Fluidity and Beyond, a solo exhibition by artist Chris Jeszeck, on display from July 3 through July 27. Known for her experimental and engaging approach to art, Jeszeck brings decades of creative exploration to this vibrant new show.

Practically a California native, Jeszeck has called Lompoc home for many years, drawing constant inspiration from the Central Coast. “Inspiration for creating art is resplendent in this area,” she shared. With over 40 years of artistic exploration, Jeszeck embraces both realism and abstraction, often blending the two in unique and joyful ways.

“I don’t have a particular style or vision — and that’s the way I like it,” Jeszeck said. “I love being a student, always trying new techniques.” A fan of detail and bold color, her ultimate goal is simple: to make the viewer smile.

Jeszeck teaches fluid art on her YouTube channel, Chris Jeszeck Fluid Art and More, and will bring that passion into the gallery with live demonstrations each Saturday at 1 p.m. throughout the exhibit’s run. Visitors can expect a mix of techniques, color, and creativity that highlight the playful and expressive nature of fluid art.

The public is invited to an artist reception on Saturday, July 6, from 1 to 3 p.m. at Cypress Gallery, located at 119 E Cypress Ave, Lompoc. It’s a chance to meet Jeszeck, experience her work up close, and enjoy an afternoon of community and creativity.

The Lompoc Valley Art Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, is dedicated to promoting the arts throughout the Lompoc and Santa Ynez Valleys. For more information, visit lompocart.org or follow “Cypress Gallery” on Facebook.
