Art Addicts Anonymous is about getting to know local city artists.   I am so impressed with the creativity I find in the murals painted on every other corner in downtown Long Beach.  If your like me, then you will appreciate the beauty, color, and time these artists have blessed our eyes to see.  It's like walking into exhibition when your strolling through the city.

Paintings by Long Beach Artist

Paintings by a local Long Beach Artist Andrea Banazynski worth mentioning.  She paints whatever inspires her at that time. Here are a few pics of some of her paintings. She also does alot of specialty work liked custom hand-painted portraits. You give her an old family picture or whatever and from there she hand-paints it to canvas creating a special, unique and one-of-kind painting you can display on your wall at home!
