The VCCCDRA Board recently learned of the passing of Jim Jarvaise on June 19, 2015.   Although it has been more than four years, we wanted the retiree membership to be informed of his passing.

Jim Jarvarise was a Founding Faculty at Oxnard College having begun his tenure in 1975.  Jim was an internationally known painter whose works were displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, Gallery San Jorge in Madrid Spain and many others.

There is a beautiful article about Jim, his family, and his home in Santa Barbara in the Santa Barbara Magazine (beginning on page 118), click  the link to read the article; and a  biography of Jim on Wipipedia and can be viewed thru this link.
