This March, explore featured artist Darlene Roker at Harbor Village Gallery & Gifts. From expressive, color-driven paintings to light-filled watercolor scenes shaped by reflection and atmosphere, March’s artists invite visitors to slow down, observe closely, and experience art inspired by intuition, place, and perspective.Darlene RokerEn Plein Air Photography | March 1-31Darlene Roker has long used photography as a way to preserve and share what matters most. While she considers herself to have always been a photographer at heart, it wasn’t until retiring from a full-time teaching career that she made the leap from casual creator to professional artist — a significant milestone for a self-taught photographer. Her work focuses on both sweeping landscapes and intimate close-up imagery, capturing the beauty of local scenery in unexpected ways. From roadside weeds to vibrant sea life, Darlene reveals the extraordinary within the everyday. Through her lens, familiar surroundings become captivating studies in light, texture, and detail — inviting viewers to pause, look closer, and see the world from a fresh perspective. “Beauty can be seen in all things. Seeing and composing the beauty is whatseparates the snapshot from the photograph.” -Matt HardyBest experienced in person — where texture, color, and movement reveal themselves over time.Joanne GrimmPainting | March 1-31Joanne Grimm has long embraced the transformative power of art. As a former elementary school teacher, she made creativity central to her classroom, and in retirement, art has become not just a priority but a necessity. A self-taught artist, Joanne has been painting mandalas for more than seven years, first turning to the practice as a way to navigate her cancer journey. Through intricate patterns and vibrant color, she discovered a deeply meditative and healing process. Today, Joanne shares that passion by teaching mandala painting classes from her home studio in Thousand Oaks. Over the past four years, her students have become both her inspiration and her community, fostering a supportive space for growth and exploration. As a member of the Buenaventura Art Association, she continues to expand her own creative practice while encouraging others to release perfection and embrace art as a meaningful form of daily self-care. “Enjoy the process sometimes the magic is in the mistakes.”Best experienced in person — where texture, color, and movement reveal themselves over time.Visit Harbor Village Gallery & GiftsMake art part of your harbor stroll.
