The Buenaventura Art Association will present "Home and Beyond," a solo exhibition of landscape oil paintings by artist Gina Niebergall, next month at its downtown Ventura gallery. Home in her case is Ventura, where she was born and grew up and where Niebergall and her husband now are raising their three children.

“My show is about the beauty I have found here at home and on my travels. I would like to bring the viewer along with me to share in my impressions and expressions of things I find beautiful,” she said.

The show will open Nov. 6 and run through Dec. 1. Niebergall will attend an opening reception 4-7 p.m. Nov. 10.

A prolific painter on canvas or panels, she creates “mostly landscapes with a smattering of people, animals and buildings” using daubs of strong pigment that resolve into complex views of familiar vistas.

She began making art “when I was old enough to hold a pen or a pencil,” Niebergall said, and later studied it at Cabrillo College in Aptos and at UCSB, from which she earned a degree in studio art in 1982.

“As a fourth-generation Californian, I’ve seen a lot of change,” she says on her website, www.ginaniebergall.com, where many of her paintings are displayed. “I have always loved the unique qualities of the Southern California landscape, from ocean to oaks to desert and farmland. I felt compelled to document my impression of it as it continues to undergo numerous changes.”

Niebergall’s “Home and Beyond” can be viewed at the Buenaventura Gallery, 700 E. Santa Clara St., which is open noon-5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays. For more information, visit the nonprofit Buenaventura Art Association’s website at www.buenaventuragallery.org.
