MAIA NEGRE -2015 FESTIVAL POSTER ARTISTWorking with oil paints, her work captures the ethereal quality and fluidity of the ocean itself, whether she is painting a surf scene, coastal landscape, or abstract floral arrangement. Her painting for the 2015 Capitola Art and Wine Festival depicts a serene overview of our charming Capitola Village and Soquel Creek, from a light and weightless perspective viewing the land, sea, and sky.

Maia holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Painting and minor in Business from San Jose State University. In addition to being a full time artist, she also designs and distributes her private line of art products to health foods stores and boutiques throughout the West Coast. Previous posters by Maia Negre include the Comerica Bank Challenger Tennis Tournament, Women on Waves Surf Festival, and the Sandman Triathlon. Most recently Maia completed a 100-foot long mural, depicting a local beach scene surrounded by thousands of begonia flowers on Wharf Road in Capitola, with fellow artist John Ton. When she’s not painting, you can find her on the tennis court, or surfing in the sea. You will find Maia in booth #26-27 on the Esplanade where the 2015 Capitola Art & Wine Festival will be available for purchase. To view more of her work, visit www.maianegre.com

2015 COMMEMORATIVE WINE MAKES A PERFECT GIFT!In addition to all the exceptional wines being poured at the Festival, Capitola Art & Wine Festival commemorative wine will be available for purchase at the “Wine Buy the Bottle” booth located on the Esplanade near the Festival entrance. Bottled by Bargetto Winery, both a Central Coast Merlot and California Pinot Grigio will be available with the 2015 Festival poster artwork by artist Maia Negre featured on the label. Cost is $22 per bottle…makes a wonderful gift!
