I wonder what ever happened to this mountain goat?

A big box of eight smallish paintings by my favorite artist Courtney Oquist, just went overseas for a show titled “Inland Empires” at Galerie Califia  which is organized by Barbara Benish who showed at the Huntington Beach Art Center. UC Riverside professor Jill Giegerich will be the Artist-in-Residence there for the summer.

The young czech students are dealing with an historical Empire, the Holy Roman, which to this day could have traces of ‘attitude’ in the culture. Guest artists are professors from UC Riverside and VSUP: the aforementioned Jill Giegerich, and Kurt Gebauer. Giegerich has exhibited internationally for over 3 decades, and shown in prestigious museums and galleries around the world.
