Virginia Francesca Fry Paintings
American, 1922-2012
Virginia Francesca Fry's career began with a part-time job as a biology lab technician at Monterey Peninsula Community College (MPC), which later became full-time after her graduation. She was also an artist and became an active member of the Carmel Art Association in 1960. She was very passionate about her community and served on a variety of boards and commissions. Virginia was a board member of the Carmel Art Association, a City of Monterey Planning Commissioner and served on Monterey's Architectural Review Committee twice. She was the first woman, and first non-pilot, elected to the Monterey Peninsula Airport District Board in 1977. She was a member of the Fort Ord Restoration Advisory Board, the Fort Ord Coordinated Resource Management and Planning Team and served on the Fort Ord Technical Review Committee. In 1971, the State of California conferred on her a master's degree equivalent in fine art and California Community College life teaching credentials for fine art and biology. In 1971, she became a member of MPC's full-time faculty, teaching biology until she retired in June 1986. She continued to teach an occasional class in environmental science or biology at MPC until 1998.

This luminist and atmospheric evening seascape by Granville Redmond (1871 - 1935) was painted on Catalina Island off the California coast c.1920. Redmond was a very prominent California Impressionist known for his serene tranquil and mood-filled California coastal paintings bathed in moonlight with waves gently rolling onto the shore. As a deaf mute, he explained that without speech and hearing, his abilities to see things in a detailed and poetic way were much more honed and enhanced. He was renowned for his Impressionist landscapes, particularly those featuring California wildflowers, coastal scenes, and tonal moonlit settings. Despite his deafness from a young age, Redmond achieved significant acclaim for his art and even acted in silent films, becoming friends with Charlie Chaplin, who built an art studio for him on his large movie lot. Redmond lost his hearing due to scarlet fever as a child and later attended the California School for the Deaf in Berkeley, where his artistic talents were nurtured. He studied at the California School of Design in San Francisco before continuing his studies in Paris at the Académie Julian. He became a highly respected landscape painter, shifting between vibrant Impressionist poppy...
