It&#8217;s the first time these two longtime artists are showing together, and it&#8217;s at a new gallery within walking distance of their Cardiff home.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dancingbrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Rosemary.jpg\" alt=\"Rosemary\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"275\" width=\"240\" title=\"Rosemary\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p>Rosemary, a master of Zen painting, was born and raised in Cardiff-by-the-Sea. She uses a giant brush to create her meditative pieces in the fewest strokes possible and has been showing and teaching her art for decades.<\/p>\n\t<p>Raymond, formerly known for his expressive photography, especially of the dance world, is now a linocut artist; it&#8217;s a form of printmaking where an image is created, cut into a linoleum block, then inked and transferred onto paper, and he seriously enjoys the process. Born on Staten Island in New York, he sometimes jokes that he&#8217;s both a New Yorker and an Island Boy.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dancingbrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Raymond.jpg\" alt=\"Raymond\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"240\" width=\"320\" title=\"Raymond\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p>How did this &#8220;Art Couple&#8221; connect?<\/p>\n<p>In 1987, Raymond came to a class Rosemary was teaching on &#8220;Brush Painting in the Asian Manner.&#8221; He said he&#8217;d been painting on silk for a while and showed her one of his pieces.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dancingbrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/unnamed-2.jpg\" alt=\"unnamed (2)\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"240\" width=\"267\" title=\"unnamed (2)\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p>&#8220;I fell in love with his painting, especially the way he did his signature,&#8221; she said. &#8220;After the next class, he asked if he could take me to lunch, and the beachfront restaurant he chose was actually the site of the house I was born in-my parents&#8217; original home!&#8221;<\/p>\n\t<p>It was years before they finally got married-in the 12th-century Santa Maria Del Mar Church in Barcelona-but in the meantime, he did extensive and meticulous repair work* on her Cardiff home and both of them continued their artwork. Rosemary has a separate studio on the property, where she can create large-scale pieces, though none quite as huge as her two paintings that have been on view in the lobby of Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas since 1995.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dancingbrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/scrips.jpg\" alt=\"scrips\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"131\" width=\"320\" title=\"scrips\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p>Everyone now has a chance to see some of their work side by side at The Cali Life Gallery, which is having its grand opening July 26.<\/p>\nFor more about Rosemary KimBal:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/dancingbrush.comfor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/dancingbrush.comFor&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1753224329177000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1MQ0_yNPMP0UMGLZezlGdq\">https:\/\/dancingbrush.com <\/a><br \/>\nFor\u00a0more about Raymond Elstad:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.raymondelstad.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.raymondelstad.com&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1753224329177000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2WmSw-uTvc3qOsBu65evdE\">https:\/\/www.raymondelstad.com<\/a>\n\t<p>And at Cali Life&#8217;s grand opening, attendees can meet the Art Couple and gallery owners Greg and Rachel Cali, who are artists as well.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/dancingbrush.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/unnamed-1.jpg\" alt=\"unnamed (1)\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"240\" width=\"320\" title=\"unnamed (1)\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p><em>*KimBal&#8217;s Note: While the article references &#8220;extensive and meticulous repair work,&#8221; it&#8217;s important to note that the project involved a full remodel &#8211; including structural updates, design enhancements, and a complete transformation of the space.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>\n\t\tThe Cali Life Gallery\n\t<\/h2>\n\t<p><strong>What:<\/strong>\u00a0Showcasing local artists and art that celebrates California soul<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where:<\/strong>\u00a0100 Chesterfield Drive, Cardiff, 92007, on the second floor (above Patagonia)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Event:<\/strong>\u00a0Grand opening: &#8220;An evening of art, music, food, drinks, and good vibes&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date and time:<\/strong> Saturday, July 26, 4-8 p.m. All welcome.
