Artist Comments
Graphic patterned floral scene in black and white. Part of a series of paintings and wood cutouts inspired by Johnny's love of pattern and the natural expression of spontaneous simplicity and flow. "The calligraphic nature of the gestural brushstrokes allows for a flow and movement with each stroke, informing the next and utilizing an equal amount of abandon and restraint," says Johnny.
About the Artist
Johnny Karwan’s body of work is best described as stylized realism on birch panel. The wood grain shows through in each composition, which somehow feels simultaneously traditional and surreal. “The texture and grain of the wood that shows through the transparent layers of paint, makes its own statement in a way, as the fingerprint of its natural origins that persist beyond the transformation from tree to painted surface,” says the artist. Johnny is inspired by natural history and objects of the past, which contributes a vintage feel to the work. Johnny’s studio is based in his 1904 Edwardian flat in the historic Haight Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco.

About the Artist
Artist Jennifer Ross finds inspiration in gathering and replicating fragments of nature.

A dainty rose exudes a strong and feminine aura. Its petals draw the gaze in, revealing more detail as they converge toward the center. Bronze and gold highlights enhance the neutral tones of the flowers, bringing depth and warmth to the painting.
About the Artist
Artist Nava Lundy crafts impressionist paintings that radiate delicate feminine charm, characterized by romantic and textured elements. Focused on achieving depth and dimension, Nava applies impasto layers with a palette knife. With a touch of gold present in nearly all her pieces, her paintings shimmer with a luminous and dreamlike quality. "My goal is to have the viewer see the depth of color I see and to rethink the mundane by elevating it through the exploration of subtlety and turning up its volume at just the right points," says Nava. Her creative journey took a transformative turn at 16 when a teacher's encouragement led her to discover her artistic voice. She then pursued a BFA degree in painting. Nava works in her cluttered home studio, accompanied by her two dogs and occasionally music or podcasts. Beyond art, she spends quality time with her family and rescue hounds and enjoys her alone time in the morning with a strong cup of coffee and a workout.
