Artisan
Don Doerfler has come a long way since showing his work at his
small studio Pyramid Arts on 101 Coast Highway in Leucadia.
You know, where everyone takes their kids because it's now where
the Sub Shop still stands. PS - Minutes away from the Civic Center, Don's fabulous home is nothing less than an art museum itself, because along with his own volumes of art, the walls are filled with such greats as Snow White, Fantasia, Pinocchio, Bugs Bunny, and Elmer Fud. His mother, still living in Encinitas, worked for Walt Disney as a cell painter and color designer, his late grandmother was a professional artist, and his late dad was an animator for Chuck Jones at Warner Brothers.
Third-Generation Encinitan Artist Slated for Solo Exhibit at Encinitas Civic Art Gallery Don Doerfler, Painter of Paradise Artist Exhibits October 1st-31st, 2007 Artist's reception with live music Wednesday, October 10th, 5pm - 7pm It's been a colorful adventure story for Don Doerfler, an artist whose brilliant color schemes are ironically his long-standing hallmark. The minute you step into the Civic Art Gallery, his rich acrylic and bright watercolor paintings boast wondrous reflections of thunderous ocean surf, capturing the action of the surfers, the glory of sunsets, fabulous collections of stunning flowers, outrageous tropical birds, classic deco landmarks like the Miracle Dip stand at Del Mar Fair, Hawaiian scenarios, and Margaritaville, all set in original designs. As Doerfler explains, "One creates when we are in the peak of inspiration. Our surroundings here in North County are such a true blessing. I take bits of little scenarios, a potpourri of snapshots from so many sources amidst this virtual plethora of visuals. Then I combine realism, fantasy, and imagination, AND..." He sweeps his arm around the gallery walls filled with paintings. Those who have followed Don's art and commercial work recognize how well his training in design blends together with his deep-rooted belief in balance. As many North County residents appreciate a fellow surfer who worships the sea, Doerfler's commitment extends to putting a significant portion of energy to serving others through his deep faith and meditation at the Self Realization Fellowship. His most demonstrable generosity at this year's exhibit is that Don has agreed to share his exhibit space in support of Domestic Violence Awareness Month with artist Kim Kurdelak, who will exhibit original mixed media works of art designed to raise awareness about domestic violence. The reception features a live performance by acclaimed guitarist Lawrence Spector:http://www.spectormusic.com/index.html ...along with refreshments & hors d'oeuvres ### Hope
to see you there!
