Sausalito Art Festival
A couple weeks back i got a chance to go to the Sausalito Art Festival. I know what you're thinking.....Sausalito? Believe me I thought the same, however, this art festival has an amazing list of talent from around the globe. There are tents set up around the green grass and plenty of beer, wine, cocktails, seafood, salad, burgers, fries to go around. If you ever get a chance check it out.
I did get a chance to find some interesting art and artists, here are two:
Alajandro Martinez-Pena
If you cant tell by now I love abstract, and modern art. Alejandro has ABSOLUTELY HANDS DOWN BEAUTIFUL WORK. I say this with extreme enthusiasm! The moment I walked up to the tent I was mesmerized by the beautiful colors, and craftmanship. There was not one piece of art I did not like, all of which I would hang in my loft. Alajandro was also talkative and friendly, more approachable than the other artists
not too much info on him other than this from his website:
Name: Alejandro Martínez-Peña
Place of birth: Monterrey, N. L., México December 16-1957

Mark Stephenson
This guys pieces are HUGE. They are absolutely beautiful. I believe his pieces are photographs processed onto large canvases. What I enjoy the most of his pieces versus other pieces is the simplicity. Simple branches of nature on a black background, this is something I would hang in my house above the long dark wood dining wood table. Its modern, clean, and I heart it so.
