As a person who is filled with many different emotions, most of my work is cathartic self-expression. In expressing my emotions, I seek to connect with others and evoke a sense of familiarity and fellowship. Part of my body of work is based on my dark feelings such as pain, struggle and depression, however, beauty of human emotion is almost always stressed. Recently, I have been influenced by the texture and shape of a seashell, as well as its connotation of protectiveness, privacy and individuality. The harmonization of the radically different, such as, violence and meditation, spontaneity and meticulousness, and destruction and repair is found in the process, as well as the result of my work

Experiencing a deep friendship is a creative act, through which vulnerable persons transform each other as they open themselves to influence. Great friends share themselves, and receive from within. "Flight Of The Internal Compass" looks at the creative act as found in relationship (Spring 2015, Familius Publishing). 

Rebecca Meredith works can be found in children's books, magazine content, surface pattern designs, licensed content, and in individual, gallery and corporate fine art collections. Her work engages the mind and beatifies the eyes, thus providing lasting interest and satisfaction for the viewer. The sociological orientation at the heart of the work aims to synthesize both the shaping factors of an experience and the symbolic content derived therein. She also engages her work and that of others through her classes and lectures in art foundations, history and theory.

I make wall sculptures out of reclaimed scraps of wood and broken furniture.  I am interested in the joys and challenges of creating harmonious and dynamic compostions with found objects.  I also make paintings that deal with the formal aspects of modern art and design: positive and negative space, dynamism and hamony, depth and surface.

Aaron Kllc's work explores painting and sculpture as a means of expressing primal energies and emotions. Drawing on mid-century art for inspiration, his work ranges from the re-purposing of found objects to pure abstraction on canvas. Returning to the west coast was an affirmation and connection with California Modernism that has become apparent in his work.

Kllc's black and white works oscillate between ghostly abstracted impressions and actual found objects which ignite memories, emotions, and narratives. The resulting effect is a playful and inquisitive conversation that bridges the duality of the literal and ethereal worlds. His background in Japanese Aesthetics is apparent in this discovery: working with the material world is always a reflection of the spiritual.

Aaron Kllc is a graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, RISD

Myke Reilly is a San Francisco artist who creates bold and expressionistic modern abstract works. Reilly’s works are large scale, minimal in composition and rely on a limited color palette to explore depth of form.

In 1978, At the age of 16, Reilly moved to San Francisco where he attracted significant international success as a recording artist, sound designer, interior designer and digital media designer. He collaborated with many noted  artists of the period such as Tom Bonauro, Rex Ray and Charles Brown in the genres of sculpture, film making, and electronic sound installations. His dynamic sense of color and sound translated well into all forms of media and was supported by San Francisco's exploding high technology movement.

At the age of 50, Reilly returned to the easel and created a stunning collection of bold and expressionistic modern abstract paintings which drew immediate attention from interior designers and collectors on the West Coast. He now lives between Buenos Aires and San Francisco and dedicates his time and vision to creating large-scale paintings and interior murals for an art and design collective in San Francisco named The Happy Collective.

   I started my art life working in a variety of sculpture medium: casting metals, clay, plaster, welding, etc. About 5 years ago my ideas began evolving in a direction that needed a stationary physical plane. I also wanted to do a personal exploration of color, in a contemporary approach. Painting fit the niche.

   The results confirm that my artwork has always been about the human body and the human mind. I am inspired by microscopic worlds, energetic fields, and the mysteries of the human brain. I am intrigued by how concepts become ideas, and how those morph into matter/ physical reality on the quantum level. My thoughts exist inside of me, and outside of me. 

  What are the physiological parameters of intelligence?

  Can the DNA in our cells be intelligent?

  Can ideas be an energy that we can visualize and actually see?

I invite the viewer to indulge in speculating on the questions, suggested here.

In this body of work, I imagine thoughts as creative energy forms consorting with atoms, neurons, and single cellular beings.   This interplay can exist within a cerebral gridlike landscape, or against a limitless void.

I am a San Francisco artist, deeply inspired by the beauty all around us: the contradictions, humor, connections and straight up gorgeousness of City and Nature.

This work captures the experience of personal challenges, delights, loves, perspectives and perceptions. Projected on this place from a crow’s nest in San Francisco. It pays homage to the eternal history alive in the buildings, neighborhood and ever-changing community.

Savage conflict.  Civilized brilliance.  My work explores these two human extremes. A knowledge of history seldom alters them: we keep killing each other, we keep creating.  

I am stunned by the narcotic of violence, by its justifications and its costs.  I read about it, analyze it and try to understand its persistence.  As a palliative, I turn to cities and places I have loved, whose centuries of cultural life move us up the evolutionary ladder, away from violence. I also turn to symbolic figures or icons that represent ingenuity and courage. At times, I look for clarity in a world of blacks and whites.

I explore these extremes using the emotive punch of primary colors, mixed forms and found materials - whatever media will illustrate the persistence of war and the life line of creativity.  Each series begins with the idea, the materials join in the dialogue. 

Rinat Goren was born and raised in Israel. As long as she remembers she was observing and producing art.  However, only much later, when moved to California as an adult, she gave her urge a venue and became an artist. She found collage-making an appropriate medium to convey her values. Collage is a wonderful way to send an abstract message. Later on Rinat discovered the encaustic medium. It was the absolutely perfect medium for her collages. It gave her an opportunity to layer her collage, gave her depth and color.

Rinat is interested in subjects as 'the individual' and 'the individual vs. the group'. She expresses her love for people, freedom and liberty, boundaries and limits. She loves to express her values through the abstract of her collages using texture, color and depth.

She uses newspaper, images, strings, ropes and other materials in her encaustic collages.
