Westside Art Walk Reception brought BIG crowds to the TRUNKS ART/Jodi Anthony art opening! (Show closes September 1st)

Ventura, CA — July 25, 2012 — Ventura's Annual Summertime Westside Art Walk was a huge success last weekend. Record crowds brought record buyers to the event and the art reception turnout for Chuck Trunks and Jodi Anthony at Fox Fine Jewelry was no exception.

Jody Anthony's canvases reflect her graphics experience: bold colors and defined lines. Her subject matter focuses on the the healing power of the divine feminine and close inspection of her work reveals details, patterns and symbols of deeper meaning.

Chuck Trunks is a 24 year Ventura County resident who had a twenty year career at Amgen, mostly in the biotech field. Now a full time artist, these years of experience helped him develop his unique processes for his "surfboard art." Trunks intends his surfboards to offer a social and cultural commentary about our world today.

From the Fox Fine Jewelry Website:

Chuck Trunks is a 24 year Ventura County resident who had a twenty year career at Amgen, mostly in the biotech field. Now a full time artist, these years of experience helped him develop his unique processes for his “surfboard art.” Trunks intends his surfboards to offer a social and cultural commentary about our world today.

Trunks begins with used boards, spends a day stripping them of wax, dirt and stickers. He then prints his artwork on high-quality heavy vinyl with adhesive and lays it by hand on one side of the board. The finished boards are intended for surfing and with regular use, should last about four years.

“We’re driven by the ocean because we live right beside it, and it brings us activities, food and family time,” Trunks said. “It has a certain place in people’s hearts. It’s part of our culture here. These surfboards are a gift back to the ocean.”
