Gail Chase-Bien
Gail Chase-Bien has a way of creating boundless worlds within the edges of the canvas. Her nature-inspired abstract, landscape and figurative paintings blur the distinction between background and foreground, inviting the viewer’s imagination to structure the piece. She brings softness, subtlety and suggestion to the edgy world of contemporary art.
Chase-Bien was born in Lowell, Massachusetts, in 1946. She attended the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, receiving a bachelor’s of fine art in 1977 and a master’s of fine art in 1980. She held her first solo exhibition at Highlight Gallery in Mendocino in 1985 and continued to show steadily throughout California during the rest of the ’80s and ’90s.
Chase-Bien’s collection of work is a tribute to nature and the play of light upon the colors of the landscape. At the same time, her paintings are a meditation upon the human spirit and an invitation for introspection. Each piece takes her anywhere from a few months to years to make using oil paints on linen.
Chase-Bien currently lives and works in Napa County. Her ethereal paintings are held in many private collections and are exhibited at galleries and museums across California and beyond.

- 'Spring Beauties" - naturalist landscape, colorful, botanical, layeredBy Carlyle Wolfe LeeLocated in Atlanta, GA"Spring Beauties" is an abstract landscape featuring hues of green, purple and blue. This work is framed in a simple white frame behind Museum Glass measuring 28 by 36 inches. Carlyle is inspired by the works of Claude Monet, Edouard Vuillard, Henri Matisse, Walter Inglis Anderson, Charles Burchfield, Ellsworth Kelly, Alexander Calder and Mary Delany. This piece is part of a collaborative series by Carlyle and her husband Thad Lee. This body of work was made in tandem, through painting and photography, that explores their mutual delight in the natural world and within their own marriage. Carlyle Wolfe’s paintings & works on paper are about an awareness of the natural world—becoming progressively, cyclically more present to its rhythms, gaining deeper understanding of its design, & acquiring direct experiential knowledge of its mysterious beauty. For the last 15 years, Wolfe has been making contour line drawings of plants form observation. From her drawings, she isolates silhouettes into paper stencils which she uses to create oil paintings & works on paper – or cut out of metal to make sculptures. Her work is cumulative in nature – gradually marking time & seasonal change, unity & variety, individual & collective beauty. Wolfe grew up in Canton, Mississippi, & earned a BFA in painting from the University of Mississippi & an MFA in painting & drawing from Louisiana State University. She has also studied in Cortona, Italy, & at the University of Georgia. Wolfe has exhibited work throughout the South, including Spalding...Category
