[Contemporary Realism] As we mark the opening of the Festival of Arts of Lagna Beach in Southern California, we visit with sculptor, metal fabricator and wildlife artist Casey Parlette. Casey will have work available at the annual festival in Laguna Beach, California, from July 2 through August 29, 2025. American Art Collector is a proud media sponsor of the show, which also includes the world-famous Pageant of the Masters. Today's episode is sponsored by Michigan's Muskegon Museum of Art and The Bennett Prize, which celebrates women artists.
