JUNE RUBIN is an accomplished San Diego based artist.  She received her formal education from the University of California, Los Angeles and the prestigious Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California.  Since the 1980’s Ms. Rubin has worked as an illustrator, art director, art educator and fine artist. Pat Launer, KBPS art critic wrote, “She’s a full-time artist, creating a range of projects from scarves to bags, gift wrapping paper to pillows and paintings. ‘Out of the box and never going back in’ is Rubin’s motto.”

June is a member of the San Diego Watercolor Society and is active in their Education Outreach Program. Her work has been shown in juried exhibitions at the San Diego Watercolor Society, the Athenaeum Library, Sophie’s Gallery, the San Diego County Fair and the ArtWalk NTC. In addition, she has shown both at the National Watercolor Society’s “Southern California Inspirations: Past & Present” held at the Oceanside Museum of Art and the Southwest Artists Association, where she was included in the “Top 100” juried exhibition. Twice she was an artist in residence in Yosemite National Park, teaching watercolors to all ages. “Ms. June,” as students call her, is a sought-after instructor for children’s art classes at the San Diego Watercolor Society, the Tierrasanta Recreation Center, the San Diego Children’s Museum and both Dewey and Washington elementary schools. Ms. Rubin teaches one-on-one and small group art classes in her Liberty Station art studio.

Ms. Rubin employs vivid colors in watercolor, collage, acrylic and mixed media, expressing the rhythm and energy of her imagination. Her fanciful artwork is humorous as well as sophisticated, gleaned from her experiences, dreams, and travels to Indonesia, Japan, China, Israel, Europe, and Mexico. She is particularly inspired by Balinese and Mexican cultures.

Her art hangs in the collections of Hi-Tech Sources; Diego and Son Printing; Dr. Franklin Zalman; William Roskowski; and the Alschuler, Riordan and DeSilva families. She can be found at her studio and gallery, located in San Diego’s Liberty Station NTC.
