Webster Street Art Gallery presents an exhibit of the plein air oil paintings of Santa Cruz artist Suzanne Elliott. Typically completed outdoors in one session, the paintings primarily depict Monterey landscapes and seascapes. Suzanne's paintings will be on display through July at 188 Webster Street.
