Christina Altfeld’s Photo & Print Gallery

Wonderful turnout and it was great to be able to visit with fellow printmakers and talk shop. There were many I had not seen for years. Such a great weekend

Thanks for stopping by our opening reception. Nice to see friends and meet new art enthusiasts.

I deconstructed and wove these etchings and monoprints together.

The gallery hours for the inkspots exhibit “Rolling On” will be Saturdays 1-4pm. If you want a private viewing, please email me. We’re at 643 Project Space located at 643 N. Ventura Ave. Ventura, 93001. 

In addition, we will also be having printmaking demos each Saturday.

Had a great time at the ArtWalk, it was so nice to see neighbors and friends and meet new ones. Thank you all for your support, means a lot to me.

If you saw something that you’re still thinking about, please email me, I’m happy to either deliver or ship.

I still have some nature inspired cyanotypes available as well as some of my sea life prints, museum canvas wrapped prints and coastal wall hangings. Just let me know.

“Starry Starry Night” is one of the pieces included in the Human Forms exhibit at the Carpinteria Art Center, Carpinteria, CA.  This monotype is printed on to Habotai silk.

The exhibit is up until August 22nd.  You can see the exhibit here:  https://carpinteriaartscenter.org/currentshow

The late Joe Cardella’s ARTLIFE Foundation has again mounted a MailArt Exhibit. I happily submitted a print to the exhibit which is on view at two locations in Downtown Ventura, CA; NAMBA Performing Arts Space, 47 S. Oak Street and around the corner at 365 E. Main Street, a vacant storefront. Additionally you can see the exhibition posted online at their website. https://artlifefoundation.org

The very first Art of the Book exhibit curated by Inés Monguió was juried by Joe. I was pleased to have two of my pieces accepted. I will always remember Joe as the force for the arts that he was and still remains in our hearts. RIP Joe xo

I am beyond thrilled to have once again been selected to participate in this exhibit with so many talented artists. This print titled “Life” is a polymer intaglio etching inked with a beautiful oil based gold ink onto a hand coated cyanotype.

This piece was inspired by my trip to Egypt last December and January. A trip I had been wanting to make since a social studies class in the 9th grade! It truly was a trip of a life time.

As you can imagine I took a zillion photos that I am currently working with to create an Egyptian inspired series of original prints on the etching press. Stay tuned!

Unfortunately the very festive reception will not be able to take place this year, however, the exhibit is online and the gallery is open. Masks are required with 6 people in the gallery at a time.  If you’re in the area I strongly suggest you make an in person visit, it’s a beautiful large gallery.

From one of my beach walks, I picked up this kelp and had the idea of using it to print with. Success, I’m happy to announce that this monoprint titled “Naturalezza del Mar II was juried into The Art of the Printmaker’s exhibit at Carpinteria Art Center.

I am honored to have been juried into this year’s Annual Tri-Counties Art Show at Westmont Ridley-Tree Museum of Art, Santa Barbara with my piece “Puka Shell Sunday“. Juror: Christopher Miles, Professor School of Art, California State University, Long Beach. The exhibit is virtual and available May 14-June 20th  https://westmont.edu/time-memory

This piece was truly created with the memory of my kids on the beach in Maui looking for puka shells.
