Ms. Lewis has been specializing in Long Beach landscapes and buildings for the past 3 years since moving to downtown Long Beach. “There are so many colorful and exciting scenes in Long Beach, I will never run out of inspiring material,” she said. “While I love general landscape images, I also specialize in historic home portraits,” she added.

The prestigious Sky Room, located atop the historic Breakers assisted living home, continues to create history as a preferred destination on the Pacific Coast. Since originally opening in 1926, The Sky Room has continued to draw an enthusiastic clientele of local guests, Hollywood Celebrities, Politicians and World-renowned Personalities of the time. 

Ms. Lewis plans to do several new paintings for this event, some centered around The Sky Room building itself.

Some of her Long Beach images, including her recent, “Long Beach Soul: Now and Then”, a panoramic view of 10 Long Beach icons from past and present, can be seen on her website at:  http://debbie-lewis.artistwebsites.com/art/all/long+beach+landscapes/all

Arts District Jewelry Store & Watercolor Artist Present “Long Beach Soul: Now and Then”

April 8, 2012: Deviant Design Group (DDG) owner, Mark Barata, and Long Beach watercolor artist, Debbie Lewis, have teamed up to present “Long Beach Soul: Now and Then” on April 14 at DDG’s new flagship store in downtown Long Beach’s Arts District.  From 8-11 pm, they will celebrate all that is best about Long Beach by presenting new Long Beach-themed jewelry, as well as a new painting which contains 10 Long Beach icons from the past and present. The public are cordially invited.

The evening will include a ribbon-cutting event and champagne toast, a silent auction for the new painting and new jewelry piece, as well as a raffle for a print of the painting.  

Ms. Lewis has been painting Long Beach scenes for the past 3 years, concentrating on historic buildings, including the Villa Riviera, Queen Mary and historic homes, and will have many of her original works, as well as prints, on display and available for purchase. 

“My new painting, ‘Long Beach Soul: Now & Then’, grew out of a brainstorming session with Mark, in which we developed the concept of an image that contains well-known Long Beach icons from 75 years ago, all the way to the present,” she said. 

“Many hours of research went into finding and choosing the best images to include and working out how to make them all fit together in one painting. It will be fun to see how many people can identify all 10 icons that I included,” she added.

Mr. Barata will present his new Long Beach-themed pendant and will be hosting the event at his new store, which is just two blocks away from that night’s Artwalk on Linden Ave.
