SANTA ANA, Calif. - From April 13 through May 18, a collection of oil paintings from Laguna Beach resident Patricia Turnier are on display at John Wayne Airport (JWA) as part of JWA's Community Focus Space Program. The paintings can be viewed on the Departure (upper) Level near security screening areas in Terminals A, B and C, and on the Arrival (lower) Level adjacent to Baggage Carousels 1 and 4.
"I am proud to see a local Laguna Beach resident showcase her artwork," said Board Chairwoman Lisa Bartlett. "The County is fortunate to have a world-class airport with an Arts Program that highlights the many talented artists within our community."
Patricia Turnier's paintings rank among the best that John Wayne Airport has had the opportunity to exhibit. Her artistic interpretations of various bird species are powerfully captivating, yet ethereal portraiture. Her exquisite works can be characterized as technically excellent and artistically straight forward.
