The works of
Marjorie Methven follow in the Bay Area tradition of rich, layered
colors. Her paintings are luscious and quietly seductive, thus creating
a fresh, intriguing look at the figure.

Kathleen Stock
works in oil, painting formal still lifes. She affixes these small-scale
paintings on panel to slightly larger, wooden plaques. An interesting
balance is created between her articulately handled representations on
panel, and the interpretively painted plaques that frame them.

The
landscapes of Ann Rea are enchanting, and at times verge on the
abstract, with texture created by aggressive and bold brushstrokes.

Robert Bowen ’s acrylic paintings on canvas are imbued with bitter
emotion. Bowen’s levitating forms of skin-like folds forcibly expand and
threaten to explode. Smooth blending and articulate brushwork
demonstrate his technical abilities as a painter.

emotions, experienced by a cast of figures. They tend to be colorful and
lyrical, mirroring pop culture with their instantaneousness.

The collaborations of painter/ceramicist Inguna Skuja and
painter/sculptor Melissa Braden both enthuse and inspire viewers.
One is not sure which to marvel at first, the earthy, organic
vessel-forms, or their skillfully painted adornments. Sleek women in
thigh-high stockings grace slip-cast works of stoneware and porcelain.
