Museums - Murals of La Jolla

Sometimes the best place to spot art is not within the walls of a conventional museum but outdoors. This post contains a sampling of murals from my most recent art walks in La Jolla.

Artist Corner - George Rickey

George Warren Rickey (June 6, 1907 – July 17, 2002) was an American kinetic sculptor.

This post shares a sampling of the artist’s sculptures I’ve sighted in California and Hawaii.

Museum Monday - Craft Contemporary

I snuck out for a solo art date at Craft Contemporary in the Mid-Wilshire area in early December 2025 to view the exhibit “Material Curiosity by Design: Evelyn & Jerome Ackerman” which I highly recommend. The exhibit runs through May 20, 2026.
