Every time I paint, I am humbled and surprised by the magic of the elements: ink, brush, and paper. My practice of painting comes from somewhere deep down. Letting go my expectation of outward representation, I try to allow brush, ink, and paper control shape, form, density. I am most interested in the interaction between these three and the relationship between external manifestation and internal movement. While seeking the essence of the subject, I practice the brushstroke innumerable times un

Barbara Dolan-Wilkinson

I take inspiration from nature and my work is organic in substance, yet my sculpture is not about anything. It is rather a study of form, light and shadow, the relationships of parts, created space, and color. Distilling perception to its essence, these studies and the contrast of materials and textures play central roles in my work. Simplicity, reduction and absence work together to accomplish my goals. I seek to provoke and encourage open interpretation of my work. Currently developing sculptu

Carol Lauer

After retirement I settled in Humboldt County and decided to pursue my long-time interest in art. I took several classes with local watercolor artists/instructors and discovered the beauty and challenges of watercolor. I've been in Alan Sanborn's art critique group for several years. We meet every other week and under Alan's expert guidance review one another's work. This keeps me motivated to paint every day. My paintings have been in juried shows where I have received several awards and ribbon

Others are made of Wood or Clay. In 2008 I shifted to 2D and began painting with Pastels . 3 years later, Oils on Canvas.

I am a full-time travel photographer based in Arcata, a small coastal town in the redwoods of northern California.My goal is to make artistic images of exotic locations that stir wanderlust or provide escape. I strive to make the photographs so realistic and compelling that you can imagine yourself in that spot, watching and listening as the day passes.You can be there whenever you choose to, through photographs on your walls. You will get a sense of the culture and spirit of the people who love

Don R. Walker

My abstract watercolor and acrylic paintings express and celebrate the dynamics of life forces. Creation, growth, expansion, decay and transition occur at various levels and scales. Interaction of these forces create clashes, mixes and entanglements everchanging in the flow of time. Finding strokes, marks and colors, that in particular combinations, express life's wonderful variety and fluidity in unique and engaging images is my goal.

Eric Furman

Eric Furman is driven to create art not only by a lifelong interest in sculpture and metalwork, but also by his discomfort with our increasingly fragmented society. The majority of Eric's work is abstract, but some pieces are representational and often deal with current themes. Contrasting forms reflect dissonant voices - with or without resolution. Acute angles infuse his work: elements appearing upright are rarely vertical and perceived right angles are often not ninety degrees. He attempts to

I have always been intrigued by various types of light and how we use them. I was curious how visible light was transformed when projected through a prism or crystal. When I started taking photos I wanted to manipulate what the eye could see so the effect in my pictures is prismatic, and by trial and error, I succeeded. The process I use is diffraction. The whole technique produces photos I and hopefully you, see as paintings (trompe-l'oeil). Diffraction is the manipulation of parallel lines on

Glenn Berry

A founding father of Humboldt State University's Art Department and a nationally recognized painter, Glenn Berry is the creator of a distinctive and prevailing geometric style of painting in which faceless figures shift and explore the landscape, symbolizing the process rather than the end result.

Glen Berry was born on February 27

Often, this impromptu approach results in biomorphic/metamorphic icons or forms. Some of my thoughts on art in general: Art is like watering a seedling. Every creation can bring to life a heretofore untold tale/barely audible new song/barely realized feeling. In other words, art can bring to light a hint of the moment and it’s truth and potentia

When able to capture the moment and work toward a finished product I’m most satisfied when I witne

Creating art has been part of Julia's life since she was a small child. Nature is her inspiration; from the beauty of a flower or a landscape, to the power and majesty of a rock formation or the charm and mystery of a cat. She works in watercolor, acrylic or oil... painting in an impressionistic or realistic style, depending on the subject and her emotional response to it. Painting is her way of experiencing the beauty and wonder of nature and sharing that experience. Julia serves on the Board o

Kacie Flynn

Artist Statement: People interest me, faces above all else. A lot can be derived from a face: sentiment, attitudes, intensity. It is in these faces that I find myself absorbed in the emotions of the people around me and their relationships to those around them. Every image has an emotion and the paint helps to draw it out. The nature of the photograph defines the style in which the painting takes on. The paint can capture anything from the sharpness of a comical instant to the ethereal softness

Laurie 'Arupa' Richardson

I consider myself primarily a watercolorist that finds inspiration in the beauty of my natural surroundings and the ordinary in life. For me, creativity is an ongoing process, an "active" meditation and practice. Since 1994 I have worked as a Teaching Artist (and now credentialed art teacher) in many public schools and art organizations (like the Humboldt Arts Council and the Ink People). I taught museum art classes and summer art camps for children at the Morris Graves Museum of Art for 7 years

Linda Wise

I am a manager for a garbage company in Eureka, California. It never ceases to amaze me the amount of waste humans generate. Objects seem to lose their usefulness so quickly in our society. But many things are still useful. The reality of waste is that there really is no such thing as waste. Most items that are discarded still have usefulness. Today waste is used as a raw resource that can be transformed into building materials, playground mats, new containers, compost, energy and in my case, AR

Lori Goodman

Kozo, the bark of a Japanese mulberry tree, is the main substance of my mixed media sculptures and installations. I connect to its ancientness; the knowledge that for thousands of years something has been made so simply, has had such an impact on the world and overlaps so many cultures. Journeys around the world, viewing nature and various cultures, watching life happen has informed most of the work: A fence gets woven, a dwelling is latched together, a roof thatched, a basket made, cheese dried

Retiring from the field of education in 1998, I chose to take the journey into the world of the fine arts using watercolor as my choice of medium.Painting gives me a fresh and in-depth perspective while looking and people, places, objects and form.

Pat Durbin

I have enjoyed working with fabric and thread all of my life. The quilt came to be my medium of choice in the 90s. I specialize in quilted art that will hang as an art piece on a wall. Natural beauty and people are my inspirational focus. Fabric collage and painted textiles are used to achieve the finished artwork. Experimenting with new methods is part of my style. I’m fortunate to have had my quilts in many juried shows and exhibitions, both locally and nationally. Some of my quilts have bee

People are fascinating. Seeing a man in deep thought hunched over a cup of coffee at a restaurant counter, or a girl riding a mechanical bull at a honky-tonk bar, these are the subjects that send me sprinting to my easel.My goal in painting is to take a simple piece of white paper and, with mere paint and brushes, convey the feeling and atmosphere of something I have experienced or imagined.

What happens when a bookworm turns artist? Still life paintings become stories and the mundane is sprinkled with fancy.I grew up devouring fairytales and historical novels and public television. Long ago and far away were part of daily imagination for me. As an adult, I now see how the unchanging truths of humanity were captured in those stories. Long ago is not so far away as we might think. That consciousness and youthful wonder still color my life and artwork today.Whether still life, portrai

Sasha Lyth

Like many artists, I consider myself a visual storyteller. On one hand, I love capturing moments, expressions, and subtle gestures through figurative realism, while on the other hand I am inspired by the feelings and interpretations that can be created through color, texture, and abstraction. My work is thus both illustration as well as a window into the subconscious, and as I evolve as an artist, these two ideas seem to be converging more and more. My passion stems from a constant desire to imp

Sheri Culver

shericulver5@gmail.com For me, creating art is a way of telling stories. I mainly use recycled materials, mainly wood which I saw into different forms-sometimes raw, sometimes painted. I also incorporate various found objects to fill in a particular scene I am working on. I enjoy sculpture as a form of expression as I never see things in my minds eye as a flat surface but rather I see things as a kind of hologram or 3D image. Really I want my pieces to be interactive and I would love for the vie

The visual arts have always been an important means of expression for me. One of my earliest art memories is of a 1st grade teacher's enthusiastic response to my crayon drawings.

I worked at a community art center after graduating and have fond memories of the people I met and the experiences I had there. The

Glass is the perfect material to highlight the human condition. Its fragility, translucence, and reflective qu

Susanna Snodgrass Gallisdorfer

About the Artist: In 2002 after ending a 21 year career as lead designer for the San Francisco Bay Area sticker company, Mrs. Grossman’s Paper Company, Susanna Snodgrass uncovered a new voice as a painter. Predominantly self-taught, with no formal training as a designer or as a painter, her work, acrylic paint on paper and her recent work on Tyvek, is a result of an intuitive way of painting that at times is also a meditation practice. The artist finds from her home on the Humboldt North Coast o
