Brian Calvin is an American contemporary artist known for his distinctive figurative paintings that depict stylized, elongated faces with bold colors and minimal detail. Born in 1969 in Visalia, California, Calvin studied at the University of California, Berkeley, and later earned an MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. His work is heavily influenced by the West Coast's bright light and relaxed atmosphere, often portraying dreamy, introspective characters with oversized eyes, parted lips, and flattened forms.
Calvin's paintings are often described as a blend of Pop Art and Minimalism, with a focus on color, composition, and surface rather than realism. His subjects, typically female figures, are rendered with sharp, clean lines and a deliberately limited palette, creating an almost surreal effect. Though his portraits lack conventional expressions, they convey a sense of emotion and quiet contemplation.
His work has been exhibited internationally, including in galleries and museums in the United States, Europe, and Asia. Calvin's paintings are sought after by collectors and are part of several prestigious collections. His unique approach to portraiture and color continues to influence contemporary figurative painting.

She owned and operated an art studio (“Artistic Endeavors”) in Melbourne, Fl. for five years. She started doing murals and embellishments (residential and commercial) from 1992 till present. She considers her early life in Europe the major source of her artistic influence as well as the works of Modigliani.
Eric was born in Missouri in 1950. He started drawing literally as an infant and has never stopped. He was taking commissions for book covers & wall designs in his teens and studied art at Auburn University and The University of Alabama. He taught art in public schools in Alabama in the ‘70s.

Beniamino Benvenuto Bufano was born in San-Fele, Italy on Oct. 14, 1889. At age three Bufano's family brought him to NYC where he spent his childhood and was educated by private tutors. He studied at the ASL in NYC from 1913-15, the pupil of James L. Fraser, Herbert Adams, and Paul Manship. He came to San Francisco in 1915 to work on a sculpture for the PPIE. For awhile he worked in the studio of coppersmith Dirk van Erp. He then traveled extensively for four years in France, Italy, India, and China. After returning to San Francisco in 1921, he remained there the rest of his life except for visits to the Orient and Europe. Always a radical, he lost his teaching position at San Francisco Institute of Art in 1923 because he was too modern for the conservative faculty. He later taught at UC Berkeley and the CCAC (1964-65). Henry Miller wrote of him, "He will outlive our civilization and probably be better known, better understood, both as a man and artist, five thousand years hence." His work, simple in style and monumental in scale, includes smoothly rounded animals in granite and icons sheathed in stainless steel. Only five feet tall, Bufano was a controversial, free spirit until his death in San Francisco on Aug. 16, 1970. Member: SFAA; NSS; American Artists Congress.
