Luscious red cherries fill a blue and white ceramic bowl, their glossy surface catching the light. A soft purple tone creates a soothing contrast in the background. Visible strokes add warmth and softness to the scene.
About the Artist
Artist Pat Doherty follows in the tradition of Bay Area painters who capture what they love. A third-generation San Franciscan now based in Marin, Pat draws inspiration from the region’s vibrant café culture, featuring petit fours and decadent pastries in her work. "People say my paintings make them smile, and I’m delighted they have that effect," says Pat. Her distinctive style combines a rich color palette with an angled picture plane to create depth. Her background in graphic design influences her approach—she previously served as art director for the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce and San Francisco magazine, as well as senior art director at a private design firm. Pat’s studio is located at the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art (MarinMOCA), a dynamic arts center with two galleries, 60 artist studios, an education program, and a museum store, where she enjoys the camaraderie and support of fellow artists. In addition to painting, Pat works part-time as a project manager at MarinMOCA, overseeing art class scheduling, the newsletter, and assisting with rotating exhibitions, allowing her to balance art-making with broader engagement in the art world.

Artist John Jaster portrays a fresh display of red and green grapes with a ripe pomegranate placed in a glass bowl. Set above a patterned table cloth, the glass reflects light and vibrant hues of pink that surrounds it. Bunches of grapes nest in the cloth's loose crease reminiscent of tiny bird eggs. The dark background highlights the scene completing the composition.
About the Artist
Artist John Jaster paints in a style he describes as realistic impressions, capturing colorful views of his adventures across the Americas. "People always ask me how I get such deep brilliant colors," says John. "The answer is layers. Since acrylic paint dries mostly transparent, it requires multiple layers of paint to build up to a specific color. With the right lighting that depth of layering is like sunshine glistening through clear water." In college, John felt a pull towards computer science and pursued a career in software architecture. Although the two paths may seem unrelated, John says his work in software strongly influences his artwork in terms of distilling complex systems without losing the magic and wonder. Today, John works from a large home studio with a fireplace, lots of natural light, and jazz playing in the background. Since 2010, John’s paintings have been displayed in over 90 juried exhibitions and published in leading art magazines and books.
