Combat Artist Featured Speaker at VA

David Farrington, a combat artist from the Vietnam War, will be the special guest of the Loma Linda Cultural Arts Association on April 1.

Farrington will speak about some of the history of combat art, and will showcase some of his work during the event.

Besides his work as a combat artist, Farrington has designed more than 150 movie posters and been named a "Master Painter" by International Artist Magazine. He is also a teacher, conducting classes in Loma Linda, Yucaipa, Cherry Valley and Palm Springs. 

The event is the regular monthly meeting of the association, however, due to the subject matter, the group will meet in the auditorium of the Jerry Pettis Veterans Administration Medical Center, to allow for veterans and patients to view some of the work. The change in location will be for this month only.

The event is scheduled to start at 2 p.m.
