Exhibition: March 1st to April 5th
I surrender to my intuition in the making of my works. My abstract oil paintings invite audiences to enjoy the beauty of the present moment and to discover the meaning that hums within each of us.

Emma Webster's "Left-Handed Letter to Little Sister" (4)
Exhibition: January 3 to March 1st
Emma's work is about the eventual distancing between people – the slow separation where the ones we love most become unknowable. My paintings' body-like forms are abstracted to reflect the dissolution of close relationships as time passes. Even when together, my self-contained abstractions grope for a sense of closeness that perhaps we once had. -
Douglass Truth's "It Is Beginning" (4)
Exhibition: December 7 to January 3
Every kitchen table is a stage; every cup of coffee a show in itself. It's Mystery Theater everywhere, all the time. Who's on stage, who's in the audience, yes. The Show must go on. We all play the parts. -
Christopher Newhard's "Ode to Oak" (2)
Exhibition: November 2 to December 2
A celebration of the eccentric beauty and resilient strength of the oak - the quintessential arboreal muse of California. -
Lindsey Millikin's "The Ignored and Disregarded" (3)
Exhibition: October 5 to November 1
The purpose of this series is to highlight the beauty in the ignored and disregarded elements that surround us in city life. -
Otto Thorsen's "We All Belong" (3)
Exhibition: September 7 to October 5
From wanderlust to galactic revelation. Paint shows the way. The line is walked between the micro and the macro universe. The spiral is the on-going echo, every present in and around us. We are witnesses and participants in an ever-evolving game of seek and find. In the end we are the one’s we have been looking for all along. -
Raul Jorcino Paintings (3)
Exhibition: July 6 to September 6 I paint from memories. I don't look at pictures. My childhood memories bring back vivid colors from Buenos Aires and many other things from those years. These images resurface with energy as I explore with different techniques and media. Buildings, structures and inner spaces are present in many of my pictures. -
Pablo Manga "Bold as Love" (7)
Exhibition: May 3 to July 5 (extended)
I use semi-transparent tape to create luminous contemporary abstractions. I am expecially interested in ideas connected to line, movement, and intensity. Here, in addition to those themes, I use interlacing diagonal lines to explore the idea of interconnectivity. -
Brandon Smith "Oaklandscapes" (3)
Exhibition: April 6 to May 3
The show encompasses my love of cityscapes and figures. As a realist, my cityscapes are all about the composition, atmosphere, and presence of light, while my figures exist to gaze upon in hopes you will find your own meaning. -
Janine Brown "Open Spaces" (7)
Exhibition: February 20th to April 4th
Painted paper collages exploring spaciousness, luminosity, and the energy of this moment.
