Bonnie Hofkin
The Italian masters and her first view of Michelangelo’s “David” in Florence inspired Hofkin’s life work, and inform her illustration and anatomical painting that is infused with warmth, energy, and life. Her fascination for the juxtaposition of the finished vs. the unfinished, the play of the essential and the peripheral, enlivens every assignment.

Jim Otis
"To experiment and explore..that is the true joy in the creative process. I don't believe a painting formula that works commercially again and again is true Art. I am not one to stand still on this journey to learn ;I am a seeker. My style is personal, Places I have been...people I have known..experiences my eyes have seen..and how I translate it though Creativity. When I work I use color to drawn the viewer into my world. Everyone perceives a painting differently,as their own eyes view it, and draw their own unique feelings and conclusions, just like every other person on the planet. My paintings entice the senses to explore beyond what their eyes tell them.

Chris Weiermiller
Stylistically, my art is a healthy combination of the clean look of M.C Escher and the comic book work of Kevin O'Neill. I often come back to the mix of humour and tragedy in my work. Using a brush and ink allows me to get the right result. The brush can be declarative for scenes of intense emotion or it can be fluid and airy for lighter moments.
Kay Pratt
"I’m the lucky granddaughter of late American Artist, Walt Lee who was a member of the early plain-air art movement, an editorial artist and cartoonist for the L.A. Times and a Teacher at the Choinard Art Institute of Los Angeles California. I attribute my early exposure to art through my Grandfather as key to understanding the value of art as expression - I spent many hours under his tutelage".
Deena Brabant
"I use pictures as a marker of time, to consider our relationships to the past, present, and future, and to find ways to forge an existence within this shifting terrain. My portraits are orientation markers, a way of capturing a moment between where one has been and where one is going. In a transient world where nothing is certain, it is all too easy to wash my hands of the past and present in moments of frustration. In doing so, I would rid myself of the only valuable thing I own: my experiences and memories.

Barbara Gesshel
I’ve been inspired by nature since childhood and art is the vehicle that enhances this connection. Beginning as a child “printmaker”; the intimacy I felt by putting ink on whatever I could find and stamping it on something was magic; and to be able to do it repeatedly with different colors and create images; anything my hands and eyes could put together was pure WOW. The marks in my art became more deliberate as I moved to linoleum cuts. Then, I was introduced to Wood - same tools; gouges and knives, same concept; relief print, reverse image, remove all but the lines. But wood is alive; here - I first began to feel the connection between line and space - by following the lines of the wood. This introduction to wood has influenced my work ever since, defining the core of my work.
Annamarie Pabst
I started drawing as soon as I could pick up a pencil. I fell in love with the other world that can be seen in pictures. I exaggerate existing shadow and light to create dramatic facial design. The light surfaces take on shapes of their own and work together to reveal form emerging out of darkness.
Kumiko Oshima
I am a self-taught artist who creates straight from the spirit. I discovered my own natural style during an artistic stay in Italy some years back, and since then my work has been on exhibit at galleries and art museums in Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe, as well as overseas in London. Those who experience my art tell me that they receive a positive, happy energy form them. Moving from Japan to California in 2010, I have now begun a new venture into the art world of the San Francisco Bay Area, where I hope to impart that same energy to you.
Eric Galbreath
“I think the energy of life is a kind of random chaos,” Galbreath says. “Each of us makes some semblance of meaning out of this raw material, attempting to impose order, rearranging, moving, and combining ideas, events, and people. We repeat, correct, update, and edit our histories. We explore, affect, and move the present, overlaying what has come before. Living is a messy process. And this is my basic approach to creating work: layer builds on layer, simplicity gives way to complexity. The disorderly and chaotic shapes, colors, and materials, over time, form a beauty, a logic, a composition arrived at, rather than aimed for; discovered and coaxed, rather than intended or forced.”
