The Redfern Gallery should not be missed by anyone interested in fine art. Specializing in American Impressionism with an emphasis on paintings by the early California Plein Air Artists (1890-1940), the gallery walls are filled with carefully selected museum quality paintings.

The collection includes many artists such as, William Wendt, Franz Bischoff, Donna Schuster, Alson Clark, Joseph Kleitsch and Granville Redmond. Complimenting the historical paintings are current works by plein air artists, Kevin Macpherson and Gregory Hull who paint in the same style as the early Impressionists. The gallery also displays a fine collection of sculpture by notable artist Mark Rossi.

Located on Pacific Coast Highway across from the Surf & Sand Hotel in Laguna Beach, California, The Redfern Gallery continues to be a source for private, corporate and museum collections. The Redfern Gallery is at your service whether you are buying selling or just researching that special painting.

Ray Redfern, owner, established The Redfern Gallery in 1974. His first interest in the California School came with the purchase of the Donna Schuster estate in 1975. Over the past twenty-four years he has researched and exhibited works by the California artists who were active during the years 1890-1940. These artists have helped to establish a visual historical record depicting the land, life and beauty at the turn of the century. This fascinating rediscovery of the "California Plein Air Artists" continues to receive significant recognition.

His keen eye for quality paintings is largely responsible for his success in the art world. He loves his profession and looks forward to many more years in the gallery business. Ray's personal interests include traveling, fly fishing, skiing and golf. He feels fortunate to live near the ocean in a charming city where many of the early impressionists painted.

Roberta Haltom has been with The Redfern Gallery for six years. Her love of art started as a child and Roberta continued her art studies in High School. She was a Fine Arts major for two years at the University of Iowa. Later she moved to California and completed her degree at Pepperdine University with a B.S. in Business Management.

After several years in business she wanted to combine her business experience with her love of art. Roberta worked in other art galleries before settling at The Redfern Gallery.

Her life long appreciation of impressionists paintings is evident in her enthusiasm for her work at The Redfern Gallery.
