Letter from the desk of Timothy Field
Dear Members,
The San Diego Art Institutes Museum of the Living
Artist and San Diego Art Department are embarking on
a new path as we say goodbye to our dear friend and
colleague Andrea Rodriguez Chamberlin and of course
her husband Javier. They embark on a northern trek to
San Francisco to start another leg of their journeys. We
wish them well. Although Andrea would be difcult
to replace, we are lucky to have Lesley Anderson, who
was working in the wings, now embracing the Director
of Education position. Transitions are difcult, but we
believe Lesley is more than up for this challenge.
We also welcome Liz Morton, who had been working with
us in a more limited capacity. She will now be the lead
for K-12, working with Lesley in development, funding
and advancing our foothold in support of the arts being
a core curriculm for K-12 . It is essential that we address
the leeching of arts education in our public schools.
To continue our welcomes, we look to our Board of
Directors and its expansion. Eric Cantrell and Bruce
Tall have joined the Board. They are both remarkable
men in their own right and both have art as an important
aspect of their lives. Yet they come to the Board to
aid in our need for an accountant and a marketing
expert, respectivley. We so very much appreciate their
individual commitments to raising the awareness and
understanding of SDAI.
SDAI, like any non-prot, needs funding:
1. to address programs and program development. The
integration of arts into the curriculum of a non-arts
school is onerous. But, in partnering with an advocate
in the school, we commit to teaching and integrating
our program for a smooth transition. We presently
work with Carver Elementary and Montgomery Middle
School;
2. to address exhibitions and their jurying and installation,
as well as the marketing, strategic thinking and
planning for future events;
3. to address our responsibility to provide our employees
with decent wage and benet packages;
4. to continue to address the future home of SDAD and
presently the rolling out of a new database to aid in the
growth of our school by streamlining processes and
maintaining a quality space as we present education
in a variety of art mediums;
5. to assess our growth at SDAI, the increasing need for
exhibition spaces for non-core exhibition programs and
the development of a donor prole and membership to
encourage patronage in the arts and art events, etc.
SDAI: Museum of the Living Artist is in great need of
qualied volunteers to work in the gift shop, exhibition
installation, jurying, ofce support, marketing, event
stafng, and a dozen more areas of need.
Weve come a long way and have many things to be proud
of. Our exhibitions have increased in overall quality and
professional tenor.
Please be involved in our success and adopt an artist.
Cheers,
Timothy Field
Executive Director

The Lightkeeper
Igor Koutsenko was born in Evpatoria, a resort city on the Crimean Peninsula
on the Black Sea. His father brought Igor to the Childrens Art School in his
hometown after his son demonstrated artistic ability at a young age. At age
eleven, Koutsenko was accepted to the adult art studio directed by the acclaimed
artist Zvyagintesev, who encouraged his talent. Later Igor was educated at the
Penza School of Art (class of E. Iodynis) and received rigorous training in the old
traditions of Russian realist art. While living in Moscow, he successfully used
the Moscow art market to sell his works to Russian and foreign collectors. His
experience in Moscow allowed him to fully realize himself as an independent artist.
Koutsenko immigrated to the United States in 1992, settling in Oklahoma City,
where he taught ne art at the University of Central Oklahoma. In 1995, he was
granted permanent United States residentship as an alien of extraordinary abilities.
In 1998 Koutsenko visited Southern California and was attracted by its beautiful
scenery and climate that reminded him of his boyhood surroundings in Crimea.
Since moving to Southern California, he continues to produce original work at his
private studio in Fallbrook. Igor also teaches drawing and painting classes at the
Fallbrook School of The Arts.
Throughout his career, Igor was featured in numerous articles, newspapers, and
magazines as well as on artistaday.com. Please visit the PRESS page for some
excerpts. Igor also appeared in Artbreak on the Bravo channel.
Igors work is in the collection of the Riverside Art Museum, Pzer Pharmaceutical
Company, Institute for Specialized Medicine and the Hoffman Trust Collection, as
well as numerous distinguished private collections throughout the United States.

CANDID
Fascination with capturing people in candid moments inspires my current work.
For many years I have carried a camera, not only on vacation, but every day, ready
to snap a few shots of people that intrigue me. I admit even having taken a few
from my car! New technology such as the iphone and greater zoom power on the
compact digital cameras has made capturing these candid moments easier.
Areas of attraction are clothing, color, styles, hair, accessories, footwear, mental
and physical attitudes, gestures, shadows, relationships, location and general
visual interest when all these elements come together.
