Dear Aaron, I've been out of the field for a while, and I'm also new to the West Coast, but you may want to speak to someone at the Vallejo gallery. I'm sure they have someone that they could recommend. I think the Vallejo gallery is in Newport Beach, if I'm not mistaken. I think that the Vallejo Gallery is the largest Maritime gallery on the West Coast, so it might be good there for a start. I hope this helps.
