Donor: Maggi La Pierre #405 - Power to the People This 24”x36” four-color poster is signed by artist John August Swanson. Adapted from an earlier hand printed serigraph, it is a very compelling piece for him because of his experiences in looking for work. It connects with his family life, as his mother, an immigrant from Mexico, was a garment worker who had joined the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union in the early 1930s. He states that “it is my hope that this art work might serve as an inspiration and a tool for those working to organize those who have been displaced and marginalized by economic injustice into compassionate communities empowered to implement justice and bring peace. John August Swanson, born in 1938 in Los Angeles, paints in oil, watercolor, acrylic and mixed media, and is an independent printmaker of limited edition serigraphs, lithographs, etchings, and other prints. Since 1969, his art has reflected his strong heritage of storytelling that includes Bible stories and social celebrations. His parables optimistically embrace life and one’s spiritual transformation. One of Mr. Swanson’s beautiful works, “The Great Catch,” which recounts a story from the fifth chapter of Luke about struggle, patience, faith, and abundance in Christ, can be seen in the lobby of the Grimm Student Union at Concordia University. Donor: John August Swanson #406 - Struggle for Justice This black and white poster, signed by artist John August Swanson, was first created in 1972 to help raise money for the United Farm Workers. The original printing was limited to one hundred posters. His idea for the poster design was to use a statement from Cesar Chavez’s 1968 speech to create a “newspaper,” a montage of photos and lettering. In 2011, he decided the poster should be reprinted and revised it by adding a few new images and other minor changes. It is the artist’s hope that this poster will bring Chavez’s powerful words to students, to union workers, and to those who struggle for justice; and he hopes it will encourage, strengthen and empower those who seek a just and peaceful world.

In this magnificent commemorative painting, Wyland showcases nature’s ultimate athletes, a trio of powerful dolphins surging through heavy seas, to represent the Olympic motto, “Faster, Higher, Stronger.” It is hand signed, numbered and framed. Renowned marine life artist Wyland changed the way people think about our environment when he started painting life-size whales on the sides of buildings in the 1980s. Today, the Wyland name has become synonymous with the new generation of awareness about environmental conservation. A celebrated painter, sculptor, muralist, writer, filmmaker, and music producer, he is one of the most prolific artists anywhere. With one-man shows at art museums and art collected by people and corporations in over 100 countries, he has been recognized by the world’s most prestigious organizations, including the United Nations. As an official artist for the United States Olympic Team, he created large-scale art events for the Vancouver and Beijing Olympics. This year Wyland Galleries celebrates its 35th anniversary. They started with a small gallery in the renowned art community of Laguna Beach; and, as the response to his art and mission grew, Wyland Galleries expanded to galleries across the United States from Hawaii to Florida. Donor: Wyland Galleries Laguna Beach #420 - “In His Image” by Artist Victor Bregeda 40”x30” Giclee on canvas, limited edition print, framed and matted, number 13/350, includes Certificate of Authenticity. Russian-U.S. artist Victor Bregeda was born in 1963 in the city of Taganrog into a family of painters. After completing his art studies at an art university in Moscow, Bregeda made a decision to go along with his own personal comprehension of what creative art was really all about. His key directions are working with Plein Aire Landscapes, still life and portraits, performed in a metarealistic style. Victor’s art is displayed in art galleries and museums nationwide and worldwide. The original oil painting of this piece was created in Maui in 2005 and is valued at $20,000-$30,000. The following background information about this artwork was shared by Sargent’s Fine Art in Maui: Victor was here on his annual visit and typically we would see him every evening at the gallery for a show to meet with collectors and new fans of his work. On this visit, he was “missing” for a couple of days. Attempts to reach him by cell phone were not successful, and we were planning to send someone up to the cottage to see what was going on. Just then, Victor appeared at the gallery, with this painting in his hands. He explained that he hadn’t eaten, drunk, slept or bathed in 36 hours. He had a vision of this piece and couldn’t stop the painting process until it was completed. The image that he had in his brain was unfolding much too quickly for the brush to keep up with. He had to put the brush down and paint most of the angels with his fingers until the painting was finally finished. This painting is one of the most incredible achievements of his entire life. It is a treasure for anyone who owns and shares it.
