I’ve traveled the world. The ways I approach travel and now the ways I approach art come from a passion for discovery and knowledge. Seeing the richness of different colors, different textures and different worlds make me feel alive. They also make me know myself – the differences and similarities between cultures highlight who I am, so that in art and travel I am constantly running into myself. And I do both for joy. I bring my multicultural experiences into the studio with me.

In my twenties, I bought a one-way ticket to Europe, hitchhiked around the world and ended up living in Japan. Much later, I spent years in corporate jobs back in America. Now, I’ve rediscovered art as something I just need to do. This need comes from a very clear and personal place. I make work that I hope will make you smile or giggle. I create surreal, humorous worlds through (large-scale), mixed media pieces.

Color, texture, scale, pattern and energy fascinate me. The variety, craziness and attitude in my roosters inspire me. Using my body to create pieces that are rich in their vibrancy and detail energizes me. I am fearless in my approach. I love how alive my roosters feel and I truly enjoy bringing them to you in all their glory.

About the Artist

Jeremy Burmeister is a Bay-area artist with a flair for found objects of vintage and organic varieties. His creativity finds expression in the media of jewelry, sculpture, mirrors, and performance. 

The organic sensibility of Jeremy’s work owes to his childhood near the southern New Jersey shore where he was fascinated by oceanic creatures, insects, fossils, and other treasures. The result is a harmonious combination of discovery and invention that distinguishes his art.

The unisex jewelry collection features bronze, sterling silver, and some carved hardwood pieces. The mirrors are assemblages of disused antiques, repurposed and salvaged woods, found bone, and rusted and weathered materials. 

Occasionally, Jeremy can be found performing with the antique fortune telling booth of Malvoye the Mentalist, a rare revival of America's side show and carnival history. 

Jeremy holds a BFA from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University and often shows under the title of Malvoye Enterprises.

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. Awards include Top 100 Artists by Paint for America, a teaching fellowship at Mission 17, Museum purchase by Triton Museum of Art in Santa Clara, numerous artist residencies around the world, and a grant from The Sam and Adele Golden Foundation for the implementation of an arts program at an orphanage in Jalisco, Mexico. Rebecca Meredith currently resides in the California Bay Area.

After becoming interested in an observation or idea, I feel an overwhelming desire to explore, describe and share it. Subjects range from the improbable juxtaposition of things that I happen upon, to concepts that I find particularly interesting. The process of translation into imagery enhances my experience and distills information from whichever image or idea has captured my attention.

Context is the primary mechanism that I use to filter my perceptions. Relationships between a subject and its viewer, or between an object and its environment, create a contextual reference that orders and defines the way something is understood. Seemingly concrete concepts like east compared to west, up and down, or in front of and behind, become fluid depending upon the position of the observer in relation to direction.

People define and are defined by their experiences. In my art practice I use sculpture, two-dimensional media and performance to explore the interrelationships between forms and their implied observer in order to share that experience. My perspective in the observation and creation process inevitably becomes part of the art produced. This implied reference, manifested in the work, engages the viewer as part of the context, while they experience the art.

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

Arne Jin An Wong began his lifework in art drawing with a pencil at age 4. He has enjoyed award winning careers in animation, commercial art, fine art, film directing, and teaching art. His paintings incorporate his cartoon experience with vivid colors, whimsical themes and his ability to translate the motion in a still image.

I'm exploring the medium of oil painting, after doing sculpture for a while.  An engineer by day,  I'm working with volume and shape as well as bright colors.  I'm now exploring abstraction and cubism as takeoffs from my objective paintings, and did figures in a spring class.
