Ann Baldwin from London, England, began painting seriously after moving to the San Francisco Bay Area in 1991. There she formed the connection between her love of literature and her work as a visual artist. Her collages are a sensual and emotional response to the theatre, layering images from old programs, incorporating excerpts from scripts, pasting on phrases which instantly bring to mind the experience of play-going. She explores both the visual effects of text and its tendency to carry meaning whether intended or not.

Judy is a contemporary abstract artist and started painting 30 years ago while living in South America. Her initial shows were in Peru and Brazil and followed by over 60 exhibits (solo, duo and group shows) around the globe. Her work has appeared in numerous magazines. Judy’s abstract expressionist paintings are characterized by the presence of thick and vibrant color. These works serve as a striking contrast to her minimalist pieces, which evoke a sense of serenity via a mostly white palette.

Mohr, a native of Berlin, Germany, studied visual communication and earned his M.A. in graphic-design at the State University for Creative Arts (now University of Arts) in Berlin. 1997 he moved to Santa Barbara, California.

But painting with acrylics and mixed media became is his focus and still is for the last 15 years. — In his mostly abstract art he likes to explore bold movements, and how light and shadow, contrasting shapes and textures or colors interrelate with each other and balance out in the final composition.

Born and raised in Southern California, Michael Moon always knew he wanted to be an artist. After finishing his M.A. in Educational Psychology, he began a combination of formal study of art at Art Center College of Design, Pasadena, California, and UCLA. Influenced especially by El Greco’s passion, the impressionist’s love of color, and the expressionist’s love of paint, for the next years he painted essentially in solitude. During this time he also began to be influenced by Eastern thought as well as the practice of meditation. During this time he began to integrate Eastern and Western thought in the symbolism of his paintings.
Each of Reilly’s paintings consists of thousands of brushstrokes, multi-layered, shiny and colorful acrylics, including gold and silver. His compositions are based on linear mathematical structures and designs, that interact with the non-regular-shaped canvases, sometimes evoking more the feel of a wall-sculpture than a painting. Jack Reilly received his M.F.A. from Florida State University and shortly thereafter he moved to Los Angeles. Reilly is a recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts grant and numerous other awards. His paintings are included in major public, private and corporate collections internationally. He is Chair of the Art Department and Professor of Art at California State University Channel Islands.
Su Ha Sin came from a traditional Korean culture that was emotionally inexpressive. Yet, even in this environment, her paintings were a way of channeling emotions of the past and present, whether painful or precious, and thus became her primary mode of externalizing and communicating intense emotions.
The progression of her work since leaving Korea has revealed a shift from contemporary Asian to Western modernist influences. Her work today continues to integrate these two cultural sensibilities, while at the same time demonstrates her quest for the sublime. Ms. Sin received her BFA from Dongguck University, Seoul, Korea, and an M.F.A. from California State University Long Beach.
Korean artist Rimi Yang champions an emotionally driven style that visually explores the innermost realm of the human psyche, coalescing abstract expressionism and figural studies. Raised in Osaka, Japan, her aesthetic is the result of extensive training from notable institutions and instructors. Rimi studied Sumi-ink painting in Kyoto, Japan and attended Ohio’s Bowling Green State University, the California State University in Los Angeles, the Otis College of Art & Design in Los Angeles, and the Academy of Art in Florence, Italy. Recipient of the Marietta Kirschner Wigg Award, Rimi has exhibited since 1987.
