• Jody Wiggins Introduces Rick Humphrey

  Rick Humphrey began painting en plein air in 1985, primarily focusing on the Palos

  Verdes Peninsula, where he grew up. In 1997, he organized the first art exhibition

  and sale to benefit The Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy, featuring

  artists from the newly formed Portuguese Bend Artist Colony. Since that time, their

  annual exhibition has grossed almost one-half million dollars, raising a significant

  amount of money for the conservancy. His work has been exhibited in the Natural

  History Museum of Los Angeles, The Bowers Cultural Museum of Santa Ana, The

  Pasadena Museum of Art, The Carnegie Art Museum, the State Capital Building of

  Sacramento, The Autry Museum of the American West, The Irvine Museum, and

  The Bennington Art Museum in Vermont. In 2007 he received the California Art

  Club’s Gold Medal for the Edgar Payne Award for Best Landscape at the 96th

  Annual Gold Medal Juried Exhibition. His paintings are in collections throughout

  the United States and Europe. He is a Signature Member of the California Art Club

  and founding member of The Portuguese Bend Artist Colony.

  Rick is planning a slide presentation along with large and small samples of his

  work. He plans to discuss how growing up on the Palos Verdes Peninsula during

  the late 1950s to 1960s was a major factor in shaping the direction in art that he

  eventually took. We will also see his field equipment and hear about the process of

  painting on location.

In between, please see a few words about our Guest Speaker…

Jody Wiggins, our Programs Chair, has arranged for Lee Jester to speak about his fascinating family history.

Lee’s father, Hollywood legend Ralph Jester, was an American costume designer, sculptor, and artist. He had worked with Edith Head and won an Academy Award for his work on Ben-Hur (1959 film). In 1948, Lee’s father and mother, Lois, bought a lot in Portuguese Bend and they commissioned Lloyd Wright Jr. to design the house which they built in 1949. The result was a striking Lloyd Wright Jr. design with angles and unique architectural elements, set on a ¾ acre lot, with an almost unimaginably enchanting view of Abalone Cove and Catalina Island. The house was a showplace of old Hollywood glamour, with examples of Jester’s work and awards on display. Guests were sometimes treated to a personal tour of the home by Ralph’s beautiful and gracious wife Lois Jester.

Lee Jester began a career in the landscape nursery business and park administration. Further studies led to a later career in residential development. Now retired, he spends time pursuing his enjoyment of music, art, and architecture. Lee has kept records that the Palos Verdes Library has helped him organize and record for the history books. The story about his father’s history with the movies will be shared with The Circle, including actual paintings and costumes from various movies.

“I would like the ladies from the Circle to be surprised by Lee Jester’s presentation. Lee’s mother was a member of the Circle for many years” - Jody Wiggins
