Jessica Rice
Antwerp, Belgium-born artist Jessica Rice was raised in Africa, and after becoming enamored with the folk art around her, taught herself to paint and sold her work locally. An exhibition of Rice’s paintings in Bukava, Kivu, helped establish her not only as an artist worthy of collecting but introduced her rich Cubist-nativist–style works to the art world.
Rice moved to San Francisco in 1959. There she enrolled in the San Francisco Academy of Art. Following her graduation in 1964, Rice worked in commercial art in San Francisco and New York and created oil paintings in her free time. By the early 1970s, she moved to Los Angeles and began painting full-time.
Rice traveled part of each year to her seaside studio in Mexico where she produced many of her Fauvist-Cubist works. Working with oil paints and a palette knife, Rice produced colorful and profoundly expressive landscapes, beach scenes, depictions of Mexico’s street vendors and more. She passed away after a battle with cancer in 2016 in Mazatlán, Mexico.
Whether it’s her portraits, landscapes or figurative paintings, Rice's work commands attention and attracts high prices at auctions.

"A Song"
By Maurice Green
Located in West Hollywood, CA
Premiering for the first time in three decades, the original paintings of American artist Maurice Green. Born in 1908 in Latvia, Maurice Green studied with prominent artists of the day before settling in Los Angeles in the 1930’s. The artist continued his art education and began exhibiting throughout galleries in Southern California. As with many artists, his earliest style was more academic realistic imagery, transitioning due to his intense fascination with the cubist avant garde movement, into cubist imagery which became the trademark style of painting for the remainder of his life.
This is the first presentation of the paintings of Maurice Green since his death in 1993.
“The Serenade”, is original mixed media watercolor on artist board, signed, e very early work c.1945, this is a painting which clearly defines his talent as a fine cubist artist.

By Jirayr Hamparzoom Zorthian
Located in West Hollywood, CA
Jirayr Zorthian(1911-2004), went through two Turkish massacres before age eight. He left Turkey at age nine with his family and spent a year in Padua, Italy, waiting for his visa to open to the United States. This period was very important in his life because his father took him to many cities in Europe and exposed him to great works of art. Zorthian arrived in the United States at the age of eleven and settled with his family in New Haven, Connecticut. He obtained his formal education there, after graduating from Yale in 1932, the Winchester Fellowship granted him a year and a half at the American Academy in Rome with travel and study throughout Europe.
His art career branched into various directions on his return to the United States. As a mural painter his reputation was established. He has forty two (42) murals throughout the United States. Zorthian worked and taught painting at some of the finest art academies on the west coast including both the Chouinard Art Institute and the Otis Art Institute.
