New
Art Book Featuring Paintings By Local Artist Kevin Milligan
A Painted
Pictorial features more than 70 of Kevin Milligan’s
evocative paintings of build-ings and streets in the present-day
village of Mendocino, Cali-fornia. The accompanying historical
and cultural text provides a vivid portrait of the town
when it was a bustling redwood lumber port called Mendocino
City, as well as its evolution into an artist’s community.
Kevin
Milligan, a fourth-generation artist, has been painting
since age seven. His works are exhibited at regional and
national levels, where they have received awards and highly
favorable reviews. In particular, his work has been selected
for the 49th Annual Butler Mid-year National Exhibition
of American Art and the Maryland Academy of Arts National
Exhibition. His cityscape "Oakland Skyline with the
Grand Lake Thea-ter" will be shown in the 20th Century
Urban Land-scape Exhibition at the Oakland Museum in 2003.
Kevin
most enjoys painting on site in fields, back streets and
vineyards around the county. He currently lives in Mendocino,
and his Coastside Gallery may be found on the ground floor
of a water tower built in the 1960s on Lansing Street.
A Painted
Pictorial will be available at Coastside Gallery & Graphics
on Lansing St. in Mendocino Village late this summer. For
