art makes me make art makes me. i work in a variety of mediums, reflecting my take on everything from societies absurdities to its beauties. Often I work quickly on impulse and find i achieve my best results this way. In the past i have worked with ceramics, but currently focus on latex painting, drawing, silkscreening, installation, and performance art.

My painting ranges in sizes and subjects from still life and portraits, to landscapes, plein air and studio fine art. The collectors are domestic as well as international. My landscape paintings vary, capturing the beauty of Nims, Florence, Venice, San Francisco and Middle Eastern architecture. My work is a direct result of my constant change in being, it embodies an identity that can only be brought to life within the painting process.

The subjects I choose to paint have personal effects on me immediately within the first look. By studying them, I aim to compose them in a way that will make others see exactly what had attracted and moved me from the start.

This year, Joshua Ets-Hokin celebrates thirty-five years of photography in San Francisco. 

His photos reveal intimate moments in family life:  the toddler in mid-pirouette, the child day-dreaming on an unmade bed, the teenage girl perched tentatively on the edge of adulthood.  At a time when life seems to be moving at warp speed and each day is a blizzard of sensation, Ets-Hokin's photos capture these singular family moments before they vanish into the past. This year Joshua brings his family sensibilities to landscape photography.

Doyle Johnson's work explores the relationship between sexuality and ethics within a sphere of politics and spirituality-with influences as diverse as Jung and Warhol, new combinations are created from both explicit and implicit layers. As spatial terms become transformed through emergent and critical practice the viewer is left with an impression of the ideas of our future.

I'm a Panamanian-American fine artist based in San Francisco, California. My work portrays the hidden worlds in the universe and in our minds.

Bradley Platz’ intricate oil paintings deal with the alternating nature of worship in the modern age. Using classical symbolic imagery from old world traditions and transposing subtle hints of modernity, his work might best be described as tarnished elegance. Ever present also are certain whimsical and subtle symbols that carry the viewer through his body of work as a reader through a story, or a craft on the sea.

Bradley is a San Francisco based artist and Co-owner of Modern Eden Gallery in North Beach.

Painter:  conceptual figurative...abstract humanist...humanesque...an inclusive and expansive psychological pictorialist.

 Tronies traveling the uncanny valley into istoria....

 To the Situations  comes the spectator.  The spectator, like the artist,

must make choices.  The painter’s challenges are now the spectator’s.
