Art from the Streets of Ventura, CA

Hello there! 🙋🏻‍♀️😊 Today, let me take you on a quick walk through a part of a seaside city in Southern California to show you some street art from Ventura.

These are some artwork I walked past during a stroll through the city, back in December 2019 when things were — shall we say– normal. It was a week of rain and shine. And we were visiting San Buenaventura State Beach when we walked through the promenade and into the downtown area for a little stroll before lunch. That was when I came across this art that I’m going to show you in this post.

Street art from Ventura — Utility Box art:

First, here’s some work on some utility boxes that I found beside California Street. The first and the third ones are from the intersection of E. Santa Clara (Street) and California Street that led into the downtown area (from the Ventura Pier and Beach). And the middle one — with the shells, conches, and starfish — are from E. Thompson Boulevard and California.

I learned that the art on the first box here is called ‘Four Dresses.’ And the artist is Glaen Redecker.

The middle one is rightly called Ocean Songs. (Both, the title and the artwork are so pretty, are they not?) An artist by the name of Teri Suzanne seems to have painted these boxes.

The third box, the one with the child peeping out of a cabinet is called Hope Chest. The artist behind that brilliant piece is Michelle Gould. The picture of that beautiful boy was lifesize and very realistic that my 5-year old was actually startled by the sight. 🙂

More Street Art: California Dreaming on California Street!

Lastly, this large, eye-catching mural, clearly a celebration of the coastal state was found further down California Street. If I remember correctly is it just a block away from the beach. And guess what it’s called? California Dreaming! The artist that created this gorgeous piece is Evan Mendel.
