Nora Pineda

Mexican, b. 1947
I began a path in art in 1978 while working on a master’s in psychology at Chico State University. I was almost done and decided to take a ceramics course on a whim. The course became a total joy for me. I decided to let go of my pursuits of psychology degree and embarked upon a special master’s in art therapy. Over the next many years I continued to work in art while earning a living at other jobs, and raised my son and twin daughters. I didn’t have a background in art, I just knew I loved clay and I loved the way it felt and found my niche. It felt so good to be doing this kind of work. Creating art gave me a sense of freedom. In the mid 80’s I began selling my work through craft fairs, traveling throughout California, Nevada, and New Mexico. As well as working on my art daily, I used my hands with my massage business. I also explored my spiritual beliefs by studying at the Chico Psychic Institute’s clairvoyant program. I’ve always been into spiritual and psychic exploration. The relationship between art, massage, and psychic work is one of integration. With Mexican ancestry, many of my human figures reflect the skin tones of the culture. In some pieces, the colors I choose have an ethnic feeling. Others use earth tones or primary colors. As a child, I lived in a Spanish-speaking community of farm workers west of Bakersfield. Throughout my life I tried to live beyond the restrictions and inhibitions I felt from my culture. Yet other parts of my Mexican culture I love, such as the open expression of emotions. The challenge is to let go and find out who you are through the maze of good and bad. I want to honor and celebrate the culture. One of the things I like about my work is the primitiveness of it.

Abstract Landscape India Edition 3/5 Linocut Print Nature Red Orange Black
By Mukesh Sharma
Located in Norfolk, GB
There is a natural and raw understanding in Mukesh Sharma’s prints that both depict, and are influenced by, the Rajastani communities of his home town in rural India. In these Limited Edition fine-art prints, made over a period of twenty years, we are offered the colours of India’s ancient land, the textures, light and the patterns that are everywhere. In the patterns of the arable fields to the jali's (carved screens) in the architecture. This work is however not romantic nor nostalgic but shows a deeper rooted need to offer a visual heritage of place, of where the artist is from and the journey that he is taking. The results are both compelling and honest. Mukesh Sharma, Celebration “O”, Lino-cut chin-coll’e on German Ivory paper Edition: 3 of 5, 2005 Image size: 50 x 33 cm / Sheet size: 79 x 55 cm Unframed "In this piece I use multiple layering of image, repetition of shape, layered shapes to inform my life celebration and my investigation into Indian culture" Mukesh Sharma's work: It is often in childhood that paths are set for what we will become. Mukesh Sharma hails from a rural, agricultural village in Rajasthan, India. His Father is a craftsman who fixed and mended farm machinery and understood the working parts in the processes. Sharma followed in his Father’s footsteps, as is often the case in Indian families, but his was not the machines of the fields but the presses of the printing studio. Like his Father, Mukesh Sharma is fascinated with understanding how things work and how he can manipulate the metal in his hands. It is not surprising then that his medium of choice is printing. One of the most physically challenging of all the practices, it can often be physically challenging as well as technical and detailed. In his youth, Sharma would draw with stones on walls and floors. He was lucky his family encouraged this and he is grateful for his early art-training at the Jaipur School of Art but it was at the Baroda Art Department that he was introduced to the great printing traditions of Jyoti Bhatt...

DH in Hollywood (David Hockney) Howard Hodgkin colorful abstract painting framed
By Howard Hodgkin
Located in New York, NY
Howard Hodgkin based this print on a trip he took to visit his good friend and fellow Petersburg Press collaborator David Hockney in Los Angeles. The mid-eighties saw new levels of abstraction in Hodgkin’s work, building exuberantly off the ambiguous spaces of his earlier work. The artist used six colors of paint, producing a unique depth and texture to each print in this edition. Howard Hodgkin was introduced to the etching technique used in DH in Hollywood at Petersburg Press, where he was a long-time collaborator. Soft-ground etching allowed him to work fluidly and spontaneously, giving his prints the characteristic black brushstrokes seen in this print. Paper 8.4 x 11 in. / 21.3 × 27.9 cm Soft-ground etching (from one plate) with hand coloring in watercolor (orange-red, brown, and green) and oil pastel (red and...
