About the Item

This piece titled "Where the Air is Sweet" is an original artwork by Heather Sundquist Hall, as part of the "Breaking Through" exhibition. The exhibition showcases each artist's individual visual vocabulary as they display how they break through barriers, real and imagined. These artists tell a compelling narrative using color and light as their guides with paper and pigment as their tools. Their work communicates stories of moving past darkness after experiencing loss and reaching across time to bring core memories back into the present. These collections challenge our perceptions by changing our interactions with language, combine music and art to invoke emotion, and allowing hardship to guide inspiration towards new artistic discoveries. This piece is made from gouache on paper, mounted on birch cradled panel, sealed in UV protectant and wax varnish. This piece measures 11.5"h x 9.5"w x 2"d and ships in the pictured frame. Heather Sundquist Hall (b. 1982) is a Central Texas-based artist originally from Long Island, NY, with roots also in Philadelphia, PA. Known for her detailed, narrative-rich paintings, Heather works primarily in gouache to explore themes of memory, place, and the beauty found in the everyday. Her work is often centered around landscape—particularly the vast, romantic terrain one experiences on a road trip across the country. These open roads, awe-striking skies, and fleeting roadside moments appear frequently in her compositions, often contrasted with carefully observed objects: a weathered curtain, a roadside souvenir, or the distinct plaid of a couch from her childhood. Her paintings are rich with subtle, emotionally resonant details that evoke a sense of nostalgia and story. Heather has exhibited her work in galleries and spaces across the world. Each piece acts as a visual keepsake—an invitation to pause, reflect, and reconnect with personal memory. Her practice encourages viewers to rediscover the overlooked moments that quietly shape our lives.

"Desert Cloud Man", Acrylic on Wood Panel, Figurative, Moon Motif
By Bunnie Reiss
Located in Philadelphia, PA
This piece titled "Desert Cloud Man" is an original piece by Bunnie Reiss and is made from acrylic on wood panel. This piece measures 18”h x 24“w unframed. Bunnie Reiss was raised with the wide blue skies of Colorado, and often describes her childhood as similar to the song ‘Little Fluffy Clouds’ by The Orb. She has a large Polish/Russian family, so eating, loud talking and community shaped her world. She was a tiny rebel with a large imagination, and knew at a young age that she would build things much bigger than herselfShe moved to rural Colorado, studied literature, and worked for NPR and other various publications, while quietly painting on the side. Magic, mysticism, nature and the stars slowly crept into her conscious, and she began almost obsessively studying anything she could get her hands on. Her need to travel and obtain information slowly pushed her all over the world and she eventually left Colorado to relocate to San Francisco. Her 20+ years in The Bay Area included an MFA from San Francisco Arts Institute and years of creative incubation in wild streets full of weird art and people painting everywhere. She grew into herself, and found a community of artists that she would spend many years building, living and creating things together. After a small stint in France and a few other areas around the US, Bunnie relocated to Los Angeles. Her busy life blossomed even more, taking her murals and art all over the world. Her time in Los Angeles was crucial to her development as a professional artist, but she began yearning for a more quiet life with space to grow. She eventually purchased her dream home in the Mojave desert, and has been slowly building up a 5-acre art farm affectionately known as Lilac Lane Farms. Her painting studio, animals, vegetable/flower garden and balance of life and art have helped her to imagine a world she never knew could be possible. Bunnie has shown extensively in both the United States and around the world, in galleries, alternative spaces, bookstores, abandoned buildings, fields and forests, or any place that seems to need a little extra magic. Her brightly colored folk murals...
