After retiring from a career as an Office Administrator, longtime Pismo Beach resident Marie Angelus began fully pursuing her passion for watercolor after many years of exploring the medium. She has studied through classes and workshops with Shirley Horacek, Keiko Tanabe, Michael Reardon, and many other professional artists, and is a signature member of the Central Coast Watercolor Society. She was honored with an Honorable Mention at the 2026 Aquarius Art Show in Morro Bay. Inspired by her own photography, Marie paints landscapes and wildlife found along California’s Central Coast, capturing the region’s light, atmosphere, and quiet beauty. Watercolor allows her to express her deep connection to the places and wildlife that surround her while slowing down to observe the quiet details of nature often overlooked in everyday life.
“I would like to paint as the bird sings.” — Claude Monet
Jennifer Williams is a self-taught passionate photographer who specializes in capturing the unique beauty of the Central Coast.
With a camera as her constant companion, Jennifer has spent a lifetime chasing the fleeting beauty of the world.
Growing up she was raised in the military life, in the rhythm of constant relocation, cultural immersion and transitory experiences. She learned early on that memories fade, but a photograph can hold a moment forever.
Each photo becomes a keepsake—a gentle reminder of faces and places; a slice of time that might otherwise be lost forever.
Her journey eventually led her to the Central Coast of California, a place she now calls home and her photography flourished. Jennifer finds inspiration in the ever-changing dance of light and landscape. Her lens seeks not just to capture a scene, but to distill the feeling of a single unrepeatable instant.
Through her work, she invites you....
To linger,
To look a little longer,
To let yourself be drawn into the quiet magic of the world.
And in every photograph, Jennifer hopes to offer a brief sanctuary— a place where, for just a heartbeat, time stands still.
