WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"I have never felt so welcomed by a local gallery in San Diego."
-Amanda D.
"Woodward Contemporary has set the bar high! The impressive architecture and attention to detail trickles down to the staff as well. Carlos, Ker, and Gigi breathe life into this incredible space. Having nationally ranked instruction in San Diego and the border region is one of the pillars of this art complex. It truly is one of the most special experiences you will have as an artist and art enthusiast!"
-Richard C.
"Wow! Cathrine [Edlinger-Kunze] offers the students a new path to exciting and prerogative art work. I was very interested in how Cathrine developed her composition and how she told a story with each painting. She understands how the female form has unique beauty in the gesture of a hand or shoulder and incorporates it beautifully in her work. I was inspired to look carefully before rushing into a painting."
"I enjoyed watching Cathrine’s demonstrations. She is very talented andkind. I have been
following her work for years. I felt lucky to be surrounded by her paintings for four days."
"Roberta Dyer, the instructor, was top-notch...a wealth of knowledge, but above that she is encouraging, kind, energetic and very funny. She does not hesitate to share “her secrets.” I personally have been in a creative slump and thought this might get me out of it. It not only got me out of it, but, and I’ll quote what I’ve told several friends, “I feel alive again”! It was beyond a pleasure to take the workshop at Woodward Contemporary."
-Janice M.
"I attended Catherine Edlinger-Kunze's 4 day workshop and found it very beneficial, engaging and challenging. I truly learned a lot about loose, dynamic, figurative painting."
-Crystal L.
"My daughter and I both attended the Cathrine Edlinger-Kunze workshop and were delighted to find this gem of a place. The instruction and expertise of Cathrine was only matched by the friendly and very accommodating staff! The building has a beautiful patio for lunches and breaks! Gigi, Carlos, Ker are all the best! I can’t recommend Woodward enough-a lovely experience. The wine at the end of the day was the icing on the cake!"
-Debbie M.
"A wonderful place with great lighting and wonderful camaraderie."

"I adore this new art space in San Diego. It is a gorgeous facility for seeing first class art but the most rewarding part of visiting and working there is the welcoming atmosphere created by the crew and artists. Seeing art friends in this relaxed, professional space is special."

"What a welcoming and warm environment! The building itself is beautiful but it’s the people that make it truly special… Shout out to Ker, Carlos and Gigi for breathing life and love into this amazing place ❤️"

"We had a great time at the Cathrine Edlinger-Kunz show at this delightful location, not only seeing the Cathrine Edlinger-Kunz pieces but also seeing so many very interesting works by local artists and meeting the artists, too. The location is lovely, everyone was friendly and helpful, and meeting the owner and some of her friends and family was great fun, too. The Woodward Contemporary Gallery is our new reason to visit Old Town even more often!"

"...a long time vision of the phenomenal Gigi Woodward, has come to fruition with a gallery space, an open studio downstairs and private studios upstairs. Woodward Contemporary will bring in top notch artists to teach workshop and bring in new life to all artists looking to grow their practice, or just want to explore expression within themselves. This state of the art facility in San Diego's beautiful Old Town is full of heart, and history as well as light and dare I say love. Come paint with us!!!!"
