Doran, the owner of Haute Beauty Guide, writes: "Lake Tahoe is our family’s favorite getaway. In winter the trees and snow are like magic for this beach girl.

Venture Gallery presents the work of local painter Cheryl Kampe, our featured artist for September, with an exhibit entitled Unintended Icons.

Normally, Cheryl paints landscapes and still life in oil or watercolors. But during the Covid lockdown she decided to paint portraits to honor voices for change, people who stood out in the struggle for human rights and who became unintended icons. The exhibit features portraits of John Lewis, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, Cesar Chavez, George Floyd, Emma Gonzales, and Amanda Gorman.

Venture Gallery is now open daily, 10am-6pm. Cheryl Kampe's artwork will be featured through September 2021. Venture Gallery is located at 260 Alvarado Street in Downtown Old Monterey. Visit our website to shop online for work by our local artists.

Alta Bakery and Cafe is excited to announce a new exhibit of photographs by Rachael Short in our dining room, the Diaz Adobe. Come view Rachael's beautiful work at 502 Munras Avenue (open daily, 7am-4pm) and enjoy breakfast or lunch plus our breads, pastries, sweets, and coffee and tea.

Ever since she picked up her father’s camera at the age of twelve, photography has remained Rachael Short's passion. In 2000, this California native moved to Santa Barbara to study photography at the Brooks Institute of Photography. Over the following decade Rachael established a thriving wedding photography and portraiture business. In addition, with an artist colleague she launched Gallery EXPOSED in the heart of Carmel. Her formal shooting pursuits ended abruptly in 2010 when her neck broke in a car accident, leaving her a quadriplegic.

Rachael now divides her time between physical therapy and capturing images with her iPhone. Photographs of nature, people and places allow her to explore the relationship between light and shadow—images she transforms into platinum prints.
