Brittney designs a large portion of the ads for an online resource guide for women, www.ultimatepinkonline.com. By graduating high school one year early, she was able to perfect her artistic
abilities with nothing but dedication and practice, in addition to getting a head start on pursuing her many career desires. Brittney gets most of her inspiration from the nineteen-forties and fifties eras, and paints mostly women in black and white acrylic.
Tawni Schroeder, brings you a collection deemed “30 days til fusion”- an eclectic media composed on old surfboards. Each piece represents an expression of her journeys but more importantly are a reminder of the stoke that surfing has brought to her life.

(562) 427-1003
Nino's Italian Ristorante is proud to participate in First Fridays Long Beach and
support local artists. In
May we will present two artists, Photographers Barabara Holbrook and Daisy Booker.
Barbara Holbrook, a photographer and graphic designer whose self-taught techniques
seep into all aspects of her artwork, has exhibited work in galleries throughout Southern California. Her collections of pop art and
photography showcase her eye for dramatic design and her infatuation with the playful spirit. She experiments with an array of digital and photographic techniques using resources ranging from complex digital processes and computer creations to the deceptively simple toy cameras known as Holgas. Living and traveling nomadically
into her 20s, Holbrook's primary muse these days is the unusual topography and diverse people of her newfound home in Southern California.
Daisy Booker
Through my love and passion for flowers, this is a product of my labor.
Friday May 2nd
Artist Reception 6-9pm
Live music from Steele Parade beginning at 9pm.
For further First Fridays celebration at Nino's, visit us at www.ninoslongbeach.com because we will continue in the spirit of celebrating our 50th Anniversary with great fun on this night. Stay tuned.
