I see France was a fun-filled event presented by JudyJudyJudy and Art a la Aimee Jo at the Crosby Center on June 3. These two talented artists both show at the La Jolla Art Association Gallery. They decided to form a collaboration to support the French American Club, which is new in San Diego. Betty Toroyan co-hosted the evening and champagne and hors d’oeuvres were served. The Theme for the night was Fine Art & Fashion. The ambiance included French music, French magazines and French art. Both of these artists compliment each other with their brilliant colors and their art reflecting the French theme. JudyJudyJudy paints on silk and some of her art becomes fine art while other pieces are transformed into gorgeous silk scarves, camisoles and pillows. She has a tremendous talent and skill for painting faces, which is very difficult to accomplish on silk. Aimee Jo was inspired by American Cinema and French fashion such as Chanel’s “little black dress” and a French artist in a beret. The center of all her artwork was “A Waterfall of Grace.” Aimee Jo commissioned a company to hand carve a frame out of a single piece of wood and then covered it in 15K Gold. This was truly a remarkable piece of art on its own and, when combined with the painting “A Waterfall of Grace,” the viewer is left in awe. Starting on June 21, Aimee Jo will teach French Fridays (a French art camp for girls and boys ages 5 and up) at Nobel Recreation Center in addition to an art exhibition for the kids at La Jolla Art Association Gallery. What else is in the future for this pair? A fundraiser (Night of the Iguana) will be held on July 17 at the La Jolla Art Association. JudyJudyJudy said she is working toward a La Jolla fashion show with her silk art in late September at the Riford Center. To view this fine art up close visit the La Jolla Art Association Gallery at 8100 Paseo del Ocaso, Suite B.
