About the Item
Artist Comments
This is a piece of art from Scott Dykema's horse series. In the artwork, the horse is depicted as a unique and significant animal. The image is full of striking contrasts, with the addition of gold leaf that highlights the horse's silhouette and gives it a sense of mystery. The horse's proud stance and commanding presence convey a symbol of grace and power that endures over time.
About the Artist
Artist Scott Dykema creates colorful mixed-media figurative works, reminiscent of contemporary street art. This is largely due to the inclusion of spray paint in his arsenal of tools. “There is an extreme love in putting something down onto a blank surface, committing to giving it new life and finishing it,†says Scott. His work comes from the constant desire to simply create. Drawing inspiration from the hues of the sky, books, images online, or even spots on the floor. Scott first started out studying nutrition and dietetics but veered into his ingenious creative side by the influence of an art teacher. He demonstrates fanciful interpretations of cultures through multiple layers, and oftentimes metallic elements. In each piece, he presents a story that awaits the imaginative viewer. Scott’s studio is a charming 1947 Chevy school bus parked permanently in his Texas backyard.

- Pink Crush, Original PaintingBy Jodi DannLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
A pink spring-flowering bulb defies its seasonal nature and blooms in the fall. Its leaves brushed with gold paint, emerge from a green vase made from stamped papers. The bold colors and varying textures, made with glued leaves, some stamping, and carved marks, add dynamic energy to the composition.About the Artist
In 1999, Jodi Dann seized the opportunity to become a full-time painter. Today, her paintings read like hazy memories of imagined faraway places. The compositions are abstract, but possess strong architectural elements, recalling bridges, arches, and doorways. Each piece retains an overall sense of place without prescribing a location, allowing the viewer to form an individualized connection with the work. Jodi paints from her cozy studio on her property in Oregon while listening to a variety of music on Pandora. She doesn’t feel the need to strive for perfection in her work. “Life isn’t perfect,†says Jodi. “Why force a painting to be?â€Words that describe this painting: floral, collage, paper, papers, stamps...
