Where Laurie Manger artist has been featured in Orange County
Over the years I’ve been lucky to share my artwork in galleries, art festivals, hotels, and community events across Orange County and the Southern California coast.
Here are some of the places where my work has been featured:
Featured galleries & special art displays
Laguna Gallery of Contemporary Art (LGOCA)
I’m a featured artist at Laguna Gallery of Contemporary Art (LGOCA) in Laguna Beach, a respected gallery in one of Southern California’s most well-known art communities.
It’s always exciting to have my paintings displayed alongside other talented Orange County artists and to share my work with visitors who love contemporary art.
The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel
My Magic Kiss acrylic series was featured at The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel in Dana Point!!
In 2024, Laguna Gallery of Contemporary Art invited several artists to display artwork throughout the hotel for a special Valentine’s Month showcase.
Seeing my painting displayed in such a beautiful oceanfront location visited by guests from around the world was truly special.
Orange County art festivals
Dana Point ArtFest
Every year I participate in Dana Point ArtFest, a wonderful outdoor art and music festival right here in our community.
It’s always such a fun weekend filled with artists, music, and people walking around discovering new artwork.
San Clemente Art Fair
My work has also been exhibited at the San Clemente Art Fair, an annual coastal event that brings together artists from across Southern California.
It’s always a joy to meet visitors and talk about the inspiration behind my paintings.
Creative community events
Elephant Parade | Dana Bay Gallery
I was so excited to be invited to participate in the official Elephant Parade, the internationally celebrated public art exhibition where artists create one-of-a-kind elephant sculptures that travel to cities around the world to support elephant conservation.
My painted elephant is part of the official Elephant Parade exhibition, and it first debuted in the Dana Bay Gallery. It was so special seeing people stop, smile, and connect with it in person.
As someone who has always loved animals, being part of this meaningful project truly meant so much to me.
Paint & Sip at HŌM Dana Point
I led a fun paint and sip event at HŌM Dana Point, a beautiful home décor boutique in the Lantern District.
The evening was part of a collaborative Galentine’s event with other Dana Point businesses, bringing together art, skincare, jewelry, and lots of creativity.
Community Mural Collaboration at Dana Point Community Center
I was honored to be invited to contribute to a community mural project at the Dana Point Community Center.
The mural was led by a commissioned artist and brought together several local artists and community members to help paint different parts of the piece. It was such a fun experience being part of a creative project that celebrates the spirit of Dana Point.
I love that it’s something colorful the whole community can enjoy every day.
A heartfelt thank you
Painting has been part of my life since I was 7 years old, so getting to share my artwork with the Orange County community is something I’ll never take for granted.
Every gallery, festival, and community event has been such a special part of my journey as a Dana Point artist. Seeing my paintings find homes with collectors and families truly means the world to me.
To everyone who has supported my work, visited an event, collected a painting, or simply shared kind words about my art, thank you from the bottom of my heart 💕
From Dana Point with love,
Laurie 💖
