Ruth-Anne Siegel
The Ghost Lingers 8, Original Painting

2022

About the Item

Artist Comments
“A white flower's petals intermingle in a field of deep purple and look like dancers expressing their joy and energy.” says artist Ruth-Anne Siegel. In this expressive floral piece she mixes the colors skillfully for an eye-catching pop. "This painting pairs well with The Ghost Lingers 9."


About the Artist
Ruth-Anne Siegel's vibrant floral paintings flow from memory and her love of music. As she works, she references her own photographs and sketchbook, and draws energy from the sounds of Etta James, Marvin Gaye, and Pete Townshend. Her paintings begin with a layer of collaged book pages chosen for their fonts. She continues by adding many transparent layers of paint to build the mood of the scene. Ruth-Anne grew up on Long Island and from a very young age knew that she wanted to be an artist. Her parents encouraged her artistic interests by frequently visiting the various museums and galleries in New York. She later attended the Rhode Island School of Design and developed a successful career as a graphic designer in New York and now in the San Francisco Bay Area. After the birth of her third child, she returned her focus to fine art and began studying again through Stanford University continuing education classes. Now that her children are almost grown, she focuses her energy on creating her lively paintings in her standalone purple studio in her backyard. When she’s not painting, she enjoys reading fiction, skiing and hiking. "Mostly, I love to drink really good coffee while doing any of these activities, especially with my family," Ruth-Anne says with a smile.

    Pulled from her imagination, artist Ruth-Anne Siegel interprets a rich purple flower that pulses with vibrancy.

  • Purple Flower, Original Painting
    By Diana Elena Chelaru
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    An abstract garden scene with purple, blue, and white flowers dancing on a backdrop of fresh greens. Part of a series of small-scale works inspired by the bright colors and lively motifs of spring.


    About the Artist
    Romanian-born painter Diana Chelaru’s paintings are colorful and contemporary interpretations of human emotion. For Diana, art is a means of communication. “It is how I express my thoughts, hopes, regrets and joys,” she says. Though she gets great pleasure from applying paint to canvas, it is the expression of emotions that she finds to be most important. Diana’s style is influenced by Byzantine mosaics as well as Gustav Klimt’s subject matter and use of decorative patterns within his compositions. Each artwork is created intuitively, resulting in paintings that speak to the soul.

  • A Happy Day, vase of color follwers.
    Located in La Canada Flintridge, CA
    A strong brushstroke here, and a contrasting color there is the result of inner experiences and observations accumulated bit by bit over the years. I put on creative movements, shapes, and colors that portray my interior, allowing it to become an independent being, one vibrating with life. Its creative power is not limited; it can always be reinvented. Abstract Expressionism reveals anxiety, joy, victory, defeat, etc. in their most raw, truest sense. They come to life with every color and brushstroke used on its media. When I sit facing a blank, white screen, I feel insecurity and doubt about our human existence. Where do we come from? Where are we going? I believe the language of art brings forth the assurance that everything is part of our Creator’s greater plan. Painting and drawing have their own wisdom and madness, communicated through the Artistic Triad- a process composed of the artist, the creation, and the observer. The relationship among these three elements provokes and drives art’s continuous spiritual and revolutionary process. Olavo Multini...
