Milly Ristvedt Drawings and Watercolor Paintings
Canadian, b. 1942
Milly Ristvedt, RCA, began her career in Toronto in 1964, after studies with Takao Tanabe at the Vancouver School of Art.
In Toronto, during the 1960s and 1970s, Ristvedt was making and exhibiting large-scale paintings alongside a small but defined group of non-figurative painters who, like Ristvedt, had planted roots in modernism. These roots continue to run deep for Ristvedt, who completed her MA in Art History at Queen's University in 2011 with a thesis that explored color in the grid of contemporary painting.
Ristvedt's paintings are part of private and public collections, including the Art Gallery of Ontario, Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Vancouver Art Gallery. She has had over 50 solo exhibitions. In 2012, Ristvedt received the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Medal for her service as an advocate for artists.

"Untitled #2", Abstract Geometric Vertical Pastel with Purple & Green
By Renee Harwin
Located in Soquel, CA
Bold abstract composition with sweeping purple and green pastel tones in organic flowing forms, by Renee Harwin (Austrian, b. 1924). Tag on verso with name, date, title, and dimensions. Presented in a white plexiglass frame with plexiglass covering. Image size: 44.5"H x 31.75"W
As a young Viennese woman, Renee Harwin found her artistic development interrupted by Hitler's arrival to her city. Soon after, Renee and her family left and moved to the United States. Harwin says that while "one can drawn his or her own conclusions from my work, I believe that the tremendous impact of change from Nazism to free America has left deep impressions on me that are played out on these canvases."
Her work combines the influence of Midwest painters such as Clyfford Still and San Francisco Art Institute instructor Jack...

Water to Land
By Milly Ristvedt
Located in Bloomfield, ON
This intimately scaled watercolour grid is a quiet contemplation of color: washed charcoal, blue, cyan, kelp green, lime and white. The poetic title may hint at the literal ratio of water to land in the world that is represented through color in this elegant artwork.
