San Miguel de Allende III
By Claudia Marseille
Located in Mill Valley, CA
In this newest body of work, Claudia Marseille explores what she calls “universal hieroglyphics” using as her inspiration photographs of walls she has taken herself in her many travels around the world. What she discovered is a morphed universal language where something becomes other than it was originally. By incorporating her images with their torn edges of advertisements, posters and graffiti into her encaustic paintings she captures the layered elements of time, communication and tattered bits of popular culture. She takes the scarred beauty...

Reflections on Crossing XXIV
By Anne Subercaseaux
Located in Burlingame, CA
Shades of blue-grey with rose are at play in Anne Subercaseaux's wonderful
'Reflections on Crossing XXIV', oil on canvas. Anne Subercaseaux finds substance in the insubstantial, in paintings that freeze the ephemeral patterns of reflection and shadow. In her muted, almost monochrome palettes, images seem familiar but still elusive. The precise silhouette of a bridge girder or a windblown branch moves into focus and out again, a fleeting glimpse from the corner of the eye...

Sunshine Blue, Abstract Oil Painting, 2019
By Usha Shukla
Located in Boston, MA
Artist Commentary:
I create abstract paintings inspired by memories of my interactions with nature.
When I was a young girl, I enjoyed walks along the Indian countryside, taking in the beauties nature had to offer. Twenty years ago I moved to California, a place so different from my native land. I felt out of place and disoriented. That is when I found sanctuary in nature.
I have a unique technique of painting: Instead of conventional tools like brushes, I paint with air. I dilute the oil paints, pour them on a wood panel and blow air with an air blower or a leaf blower. Vapor-like shapes appear and disappear on the panel, leaving only traces of the initial layer. There is a constant process of adding and subtracting layers of paint until I get the final composition.
Words that describe this piece: Abstract, Colorful, Flower, Nature, Blue, White, Serene, Peaceful, Contemporary

- This is a hand painted, original painting
- Created in California, USA
- Professional grade oil paints on Wood Panel
- Wood Panel with Birchwood face and 1 5/8"" Poplar wood cradle

Sunny Day
By Voskan Galstian
Located in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
This piece is part of Voskan's ongoing series of abstract expressionist paintings. He spends many hours over multiple sessions creating each piece. Sometimes he will work on a painting for months or even years until he finds the right inspiration to complete the composition. This piece reflects the warmth of the sun's ray on my skin on a bright summer day. It is meant to bring warmth and pleasure, to brighten up a day or mood, Voskan says.
About the Artist
When Voskan Galstian approaches a canvas, he does so with an open mind. When I am creating art I tend to sever my mind from making decisions he explains. His paintings show this intuitive process in their dynamic movement and unique color combinations. Voskan finds inspiration in abstract expressionism; in the vein of that style, he paints based on his deepest emotions. Many people have expressed that they feel a connection with his work - in some cases, it soothes them. When he's not making art, you can find Voskan traveling or reading about geography.
