This Artist rich colors and perfect symmetry are an immersive viewing experience. Her highly geometric work pulses with color and hidden light. Her accumulation of strands recalls the weft and warp of existence with their reference to nature and their indomitable energy. The work consists of diverse elements – technical, natural and metaphysical. The pathways are energy, movement, and thought.

Christopher Jeffries

This Artist’s unique style and distinct designs reflect the hand of a dedicated, passionate and master craftsman. He is accredited for his glass blowing apprenticeships and experiences. He studied internationally, including in the Czech Republic. He also studied under Sonja Blomdahl, taught glass blowing at the well-known Corning Museum of Glass in New York and was an apprentice for Dale Chihuly at the prestigious Boat House in Seattle, Washington.

Every piece of glass is hand blown from a unique crystal recipe. The glass is sculpted and manipulated using a variety of steel tools and cork paddles. He then sandblasts the surface of the glass with a very fine sand which gives it a soft satin finish.

He has had over fifty one-man exhibitions, in cities including: Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, London and Brussels. His work can be found

He decided early in his career that he wanted to limit his visual vocabulary of form to master a more defined narrative. In most all his work you will see the curves, arcs and graceful lines that borderline between abstract and figurative, which often suggest the lines, curves, and lithe swoop of bodies and of movement itself. Many seem to rise vertically and rotate at the same time energizing the space around them. One reviewer states, seeing his work in person is the visual equivalent of hearing music in stereo.

Hunt Slonem

“In many ways, I see my whole life as an installation itself... I’m always after that wow factor, those magical moments where I create a work and look at it in amazement, as if angels or gnomes had entered my space and created the whole thing.” -Hunt Slonem

Michael Kessler

This Artist established himself in the global contemporary art world with an impressive career is known for his nature-based abstract paintings inspired by water, beaches, forests, trees, branches, leaves, deserts, and cellular forms. His style blends hard-edged forms with biomorphic, placing his work on a continuum between gesture and geometry.

Arcs of line and color slip over and under matrices balancing natures curves with mindfulness of structure.

She consistently examines patterns of repetition, rhythms, and pauses in our natural and built environments. Spontaneity and curiosity are central to her practice and she trusts in the excitement and energy of the unfamiliar to generate interest, letting her instinct guide her use of both color and mark-making. She is inspired by relationships and travel, whether through thought, nature or urban landscape. She collects information and expresses it consciously and subconsciously.

Peter Opheim

For this Artist, the act of painting is an alchemic process, a transformation of materials into works of art. “Anything can become a painting. Whatever that thing is, the result should be unique. It should be inherent in the process that if I desired to make another piece like it, I could not.”

His work is heavily layered and thick with paint. Amidst the tension of colors and non-objective marks, a graceful serenity holds in the balance. Working with palette knifes, brushes, 20 colors of paint, he works the surface of his paintings layer by layer, building up and scraping away. The final surface not only shimmers with vibrant hues but projects a multidimensional vision.

He has been featured in over 50 group and individual exhibitions since 1994, and has been the subject of a number of print articles. In 1995, he was awarded the New York Foundation for the Arts, Fellowship Award for Sculpture. His work has been included in important corporate and private collections and is in the permanent collection of several museums in the United States and South Korea.

Joel Urruty

This Artist is a sculptor working in various materials, creating minimalist abstract sculptures and wall assemblages. Form, line and surface are used as his visual language. The composition of form and the way lines relate to each other are an important element in his work. He strives to create sculpture that captures the true essence of the subject.

As an artist he strives to push himself in exploring new ideas as well as developing new skills and techniques. He works in both wood and bronze. The primary material, wood, is often masked by paint to allow the form to take precedence over the material. Monochromatic colors, such as black or white are often used, allowing light and shadow to play off subtle shifting facets. He has been exhibited internationally and has work in the permanent collection of the Asheville Art Museum, the Boston Museum of Fine Art and the Honolulu Museum of Art as well as private collections.

Stephen Yates

This Artist creates paintings in which the layered brushstrokes describe a sense of light moving through vibrant seas, or a space in which simple shapes drift in a color-suffused atmosphere. He works in acrylic and his paint handling varies from very fluid to gestural brushwork.

He has long been interested in the imagery of water; the movement, transparency, reflectivity, density, layers and color shifts. He is also fascinated with the imagery of undersea, under-the- microscope and outer-space and the curious ways they seem related, looking at the macro and the micro. He is intentionally non-specific in terms of recognizable images. His paintings create a specific sense of place and experience. He has participated in over 130 group exhibits and more than 30 solo exhibits.

This Artists work breathes life through abstraction and light.
Inspired by the landscapes of the great Northwestern United States, she strives to create a consciousness of the earth through her paintings. Her landscapes evoke a translucent emotion with the utilization of an encaustic medium; the wax layered pigments emanate bright light and pearlescent movement.

The process that she uses is both ancient and innovative. She embraces the techniques of Japanese sembyo style, described as painting without fear or hesitation. She prefers larger canvases in order to allow this spiritual freedom to roam uninhibited.

Her career has spanned 40+ years as a painter, printmaker, teacher and art advocate.
Her vision and innovative use of materials has been recognized by private, corporate and public collectors throughout the United States, Canada, Asia and Europe. She was invited to the Florence Biennale in 2004 and selected for Art in Embassy 2009-2011 and 2016.

Valerie Stuart

These Artists' paintings resonate with a rich color palette. The abstract tonal fields have a focus of layering glazes to create depth, texture and markings to evoke communication and a sense of place. For her, color has always been about feeling it, whether her inspiration is from nature or other natural sources. Sometimes it’s in a memory or as simple as looking deep into an apple. In the process of pulling the colors together, as many as ten or twelve layers are used to create a luminous space in which the viewer can visually see that one color is not just one, but many shades and hues of the color itself, creating depth within the color.
