George P. Battersby Photography, based on the Monterey Peninsula of Central California, specializes in nature, landscape and seascape imagery. We never know what we’ll find in this rugged, yet serene place. Monterey Peninsula has been our home for nearly 4 decades. We are always amazed by the spectacle of this charming part of the world. Each picture tells a story of the natural beauty, the amazing wildlife, and the fierce strength of the roaring ocean.
The mission of Girls Incorporated of the Central Coast (GICC) is to inspire all girls to be strong, smart, bold, and to respect themselves and the world around them.

Our role is to cultivate and grow those qualities.

Founded in Monterey, California in 2013, the focus of the gallery is to create a community around the celebration of the creative act and bring a select group of uniquely accomplished artists to an appreciative audience. Green Chalk Contemporary advances an uncommon opportunity for artists, curators and the public to discover, to learn, and to acquire contemporary artwork.
Oil painting has become a part of my life. It is not all consuming as with some other artists but rather a, "reason," for contemplation and looking for the possibilities that exist with seeing nature, objects, form and spacial relationships that allow for them to be interpreted and put down on canvas. I feel I was given a gift that transcends time and place and each painting is an extension of who I am and what matters. My paintings tell a story that is in some way a part of me. How I see a sunset or landscape is transferred in the form of personal expression and creativity that has a stamp of enduring enjoyment. I hope you enjoy my art as much as I enjoyed creating it.
