Studios on the Park has an exhibit featuring selected works from the collections of Estrella Warbirds Museum and Camp Roberts Historical Museum. The artwork, which includes paintings and limited-edition prints, brings to life the eras of World War II, and Korean and Vietnam Wars. The paintings vary in style from oil to water color. The founder of the studio says the work aims to signify the honor of serving in war. "There's a unifying passion throughout that you can see through the pieces. For the honor and the duty, honoring the service members that participated in these wars." Anne Laddon, residence artist and studio founder said. The exhibit is available for viewing until August 28 and is free to attend.
