Mark Bowles

Bowles suggests beautiful and serene California landscapes while playing with elements of abstraction through color, composition, and texture. His expert handling of color and form creates horizons and skies that would give any natural sunset a run for its money. 

Adrienne Defendi

Defendi's captivating documentation of her surroundings feels serene and, at the same time, full of movement and life. This feeling of motion provides her photographs with a sense of narrative that propels the images forward.

Edith Hillinger

Hillinger's mixed-media collages reference natural and botanical subjects, presenting them in abstracted designs reminiscent of cubist techniques. The interplay between her wild, contrasting patterns and forms is enhanced by her restrained, earth-toned palette.

Rachel Kline

Kline establishes a mastery of light and space in her exquisite oil paintings, transforming commonplace subjects into stunning and complex images.

Robert L. Larson

Exploring ideas of mass production, pop culture, and multiples, Larson uses found materials such as cigarette packaging and matchbooks to create stunning, elegant collages. In his new work, Larson utilizes the gold foil in cigarette packages to reference a classical use of gold leafing, playing with the idea of trash being converted into something sacred and valuable.

Ernest Regua

Exploring color, form, and composition, Regua's paintings feel rooted in traditions of Constructivism, Pop art, and design. His minimal, precise forms reflect mechanical ink-blot drawings, but his choice of bold and compelling colors mixed with captivating compositions make this work his own. 

Fernando Reyes

Employing negative space and an elegant, minimalist line, Reyes captures the strength and movement of nude figures while keeping his compositions fragile and simply beautiful.

Elizabeth Tana

Combining botanical imagery with organic, nonrepresentational forms, Tana creates compelling and graceful compositions evocative of scientific illustration.

Terry Thompson

Thompson's depictions of vintage signage focus on hidden beauty in an urban environment. His use of color, form, composition, and pattern give new life to his subjects, turning old signs into something new and different.

Tran Truong

Through clean, crisp lines paired with a simple use of color and pattern, Truong depicts minimalist, abstracted snippets of familiar places. Though her careful compositions can be understated, they are filled with a contemporary sense of humor that brings life and character to her work.
