Featuring James Docker & Jennifer Whitfield
The Coast Highway Art Collective is pleased to feature the work of Jim Docker and Jennifer Whitfield in this month's exhibit. Docker, a fifth-generation designer and builder, brings over six decades of experience working with wood. Influenced by architecture, Japanese design, textiles, and music, his handcrafted knife blocks, serving boards, and furniture blend beauty with function. His work has been described as "quilting in wood," reflecting both precision and artistry.
Whitfield, an award-winning artist from Sonoma County and Cape Cod, presents selections from her celebrated William's Pond Series. Using acrylic mixed media, collage, and pastel techniques, she creates luminous waterscapes inspired by the ever-changing beauty of pond life. Layer by layer, her paintings reveal a rich aquatic world of light, texture, and movement, inviting viewers into serene landscapes that serve as metaphors for memory, emotion, and dreams.
The Coast Highway Art Collective features artists working across a wide range of genres, with membership and artistic focus evolving over time. Recently, the Collective has welcomed several new artists, including Vineeta Chand, Sandi Falk, Bridgette Marie Dice, and Gabriella Rachel Lotan, adding fresh perspectives and creative energy to the group.
This dynamic community thrives on the ever-changing art landscape, reflecting the varied interests, skills, and imagination of its members.
