Jeff Horn is guest artist July 12

He earned a master’s of Arts degree from California State University in 1979 and is currently a professor of art at Irvine Valley College.
Horn is known for a portrait series of the homeless that became a feature article for American Artist Magazine. In 2000, he received top honors in the quick-draw category of the Laguna Beach Plein Air Painting Invitational competition and best for canvas on board in the Carmel Art Festival. Horn’s paintings are part of the permanent collections of the Laguna Beach Festival of Arts, the Laguna Canyon Foundation and a Pacific Club of Newport Beach. He is a member of the California Art Club, a signature member of a the Laguna Pleine Air Painters Association and many others.
“I prefer to paint from nature and I love being outdoors where I can see, hear, feel, smell and even taste the scene around me. For me, the painting is a translation of nature and my experience of it,” said Horn.
By popular vote, the July theme is “mixed media.” The deadline for artwork competition is 6:30 p.m.
