Artist Comments
Two bears sit quietly together going through a tub of laundry. "The mundane tasks in life are the most spirited places of laugher and companionship," states artist Ziui Vance. "The subtle whispers across dirty laundry are ruffled by laughter as a crisp breeze flutters applause from drying sheets. The banality of life is refreshingly fun when you give space to share it with a friend."Ziui's work commonly reflects on everyday life scenes, encompassing a wide range of domestic contexts. Her depictions of the familiar teddy bear range from working in the home to traditional activities plying at the artisanal history of trades. Her ability to cleverly capture the tone and color of a Golden Age of painting illustrates great charm and the life and times of a distant contemporary life.The artwork is in a metal frame with tempered glass.
About the Artist
Chinese artist Ziui Vance is a Michigan-based painter who works in both oil and acrylic paint. Through her artwork, Ziui strives to set up the relationship between the viewer and the artwork as one of a guest and host. Her paintings offer the viewer access into her own world of imagination. Growing up in a small secluded town in China, she used art as a means of exploration and escape and developed her practice from a young age. Her abstract work are reminiscent paintings by Mark Rothko, while her figurative work has similarities to Chinese contemporary artists Yue Minjun and Zhang Xiaogang. Ziui has a BA in design from Tsinghua University in Beijing, China and an MFA in art from University of Michigan. She is represented by UGallery.

"After a seemingly eternal summer, five little birds snug in their nest, silently enduring the chill and wind," describes artist Jessica JH Roller. The birds each carry a unique design, colored in similar hues of turquoise, black, beige, and brown. A bright band of orange and turquoise appears above the birds shifting into beige and dark green hues. A balanced composition painted in folk-art style with an energetic palette.
About the Artist
A few months after Jessica JH Roller and her husband were married, they adopted two young Siamese cats from a shelter -- Tony and Larry. Jessica quickly fell deeply in love with the kittens and says the cats changed her. "They opened my eyes - I started to notice birds, trees, water, color, everything. It was as if the artist inside had been unleashed.†Jessica uses bold colors and primitive linework to create whimsical, expressive portraits. She intends to capture real or imagined moments that are both common and extraordinary.

Artist Emil Morhardt depicts an Elegant Tern and a Forster’s Tern hanging together in the winter shallows of the Santa Barbara beach in California. Their evening reflections ripple above the water highlighted in gold, silver, and copper leaf. "While the Elegant Terns show up in huge flocks, the much smaller Forester’s tern is uncommon in Santa Barbara, and so a treat to see."
About the Artist
Emil Morhardt is an acrylic painter from Santa Barbara, California who expresses his passion for birds through realistic acrylic paintings. He paints at home in a studio room that has large windows and a north-facing view of the mountains. He observes the animals from this window, watching roadrunners, foxes, bobcats, deer, and coyote run by. Surrounded by this wildlife, Emil paints bird portraits reminiscent of those by artist John James Audubon. He bases his paintings off hundreds of photographs he takes of birds in the wild and at wildlife recovery centers. Emil captures the freedom and inquisitiveness that birds display in the natural world. Before painting birds, he painted landscapes of San Francisco and the Eastern Sierra. Emil was raised in the high desert of California and learned to paint from his father, who was one of the early California watercolorists...

Artist Emil Morhardt captures a group of acorn woodpeckers diving together from a tree. “They really do this,†says Emil. He spends hours with his lens trained on the birds as they argue loudly among themselves until finally taking a jump. The woodpeckers are painted on a thick layer of absorbent ground, giving them a slightly three-dimensional appearance against the gray-stained canvas.
