Demossa Gallery featured in OCinSite.com’s Art Roundtable.
July 08, 2010During summer, visitors come from all sorts of climates and faraway places to experience all the wonders and magic of Laguna Beach. I think we should celebrate the summer with them and offer lighter, brighter subjects and more cheerful colors in lines, designs and subjects. We should try to show the kind of art that says â€œsummer is hereâ€ and expresses that life is beautiful in Laguna Beach. This is how my gallery adjusts for summer visitors…See full article here.

OC Register – Roberta Carasso: Iranian-born artist displays works at her Laguna gallery
January 20, 2009As a Laguna Beach art writer for more than 10 years, this is the first time I have seen art of an Iranian-born artist exhibited at a gallery in the area. Mahvash Mossaed brings sensitivity, intelligence and exotic Persian sensibility to her work, now on display at her new gallery, Demossa Gallery. Painter, poet and award-winning producer Mossaed and photographer Dennis Roberts moved their gallery of five years in Santa Ana to Laguna Beach to add a new dimension to the beach community. They transformed dark brown walls to bright white to reflect the brilliant light of the ocean and the energy of Laguna. Then they brought in very fine art and their gallery flourished. Their first show concerned the art of Laguna College of Art and Design MBA graduates, who have been noticed from Laguna Beach to Los Angeles and beyond. The goal of Demossa Gallery is to complement and raise the level of art in Laguna.
