   Nationally known artist Lisa Bebi will be the demonstration artist when the Ramona Art Guild holds its evening meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 17.
   “My painting is like jazz fusion, not so much for my brushstroke work but because of the complex layers of seemingly unrelated stuff that somehow tie together,” said Bebi. “My brushstrokes are speedy looking, but I think my detail is described more in the subject matter rather than by way of tight brushstrokes, sort of reflecting the fast pace of jazz and its many layers.”
   The hardest part of being an artist is trying to relate to the real world, the artist added. “I know my passion makes me a different person.”
   More information about Bebi and photographs of her work may be seen on her Web site: www.lisabebiart.com/.
   Ramona  Art Guild demonstrations are held on the third Wednesday of the month in the Ramona Library, 1406 Montecito Road, from 7 to 9 p.m. and are open to the public.
