Walnut Creek Art & Wine Festival

Hello Everyone!

I recently visited this festival with my family; one of a first for us in this area. It was a clear, warm , sunny day buzzing with people. There were a number of art and craft stands. Two artists stood out in particular for me. Paul Nzalamba, whose art works are both personal experiences and cultural Ugandan inspired Batik paintings ( a wax resist fabric dying technique). Paul's paintings were vivid and held profound meaning within each image. We had the luxury of meeting and talking to Paul about his works in some detail.
The second artist whose work affected us, was Michael Anthony Nisperos, described as an Abstract Expressionist. His works were either vibrant abstracts or muted figurative pieces.
There were a number of other craft artists that impressed us too, including the contemporary glass vessels of Spring Designs, Jeff & Jenny Tseng.
The next festival we hope to attend is the 29th Annual Los Altos Arts & Wine Festival, July 12-13.
