"My paintings are vibrant conversations between color, movement, and emotion. They’re not just images on a canvas, they’re invitations for dialogues. Each piece asks viewers to pause, feel, and find a part of their own story. Art has been my companion in self-discovery. Every brushstroke, form, and texture is a step into the unknown, a chance to take risks and uncover something new. I draw inspiration from nature and my life as a mother and musician. I believe in staying curious. That means constantly experimenting, trying new techniques, new palettes, and evolving styles. My art evolves as I do, mirroring the way we all grow and transform over time. At its heart, my work is about connection. Between artist and viewer, between past and present, between who we are and who we’re becoming. I hope my paintings spark moments of reflection and joy, and maybe even inspire others to learn something new." ~Renata Aryanti

Every piece of work I create comes from my love to experiment with a particular medium, style, technique or subject. I start a painting once I deeply connect with an idea. The process of painting is a journey of discovery for me. I hope my work encourages viewers to pause, reflect, embrace positivity and rediscover an appreciation for life’s quiet wonders.  - Silpa

"In all my work I seek paths to add dimension and to broaden the way abstract art can be viewed." ~Martha Castillo

"For me, the process of painting is an act of concentration and repetitive painting where a canvas transforms itself from being an image to being art."  ~Sandra Cochran

This month I am featuring the fourth collaboration in our "Totem Series" with mixed media painter Karen Cox. The series is an alchemic experimentation wherein the composition is driven by lines, textures, color and reflectivity of surfaces with acrylics, metal photographs and other materials. The tall triptych format allows for the viewer to have multiple entry points and interactive segments within the column and between the columns.  ~Michael Endicott

“My life is a complex multicultural quilt, and everything I create begins with small bits and pieces of fabric, yarn, paper, and other found objects, that eventually come together to form a cohesive and integrated whole. My process is mostly about the journey to create and seldom about the product created. There are few rights and wrongs and the space is open for inquiry and exploration, with full self-permission to try anything and take wild chances, to make messes, and to dare juxtapose strange elements and get them to play together in new ways. As the process begins, I slip into the "flow" or "zone" as artists like to call it, and for me it is a blissful place where colors, line and shapes dance, where everything is perfectly aligned and unfolding as it should. As the piece takes shape, my imaginary conversation with it begins as I allow it to reveal itself to me.” ~Rosine Abergel Ferber

My early childhood was filled with science, poetry and storytelling.  This has compelled me to explore how patterns across myths and science inform how we construct realities and how we express, navigate and interact with nature and our surroundings.  

My work is an allegorical narrative of my discoveries, findings and musings.   Azita Gandjei

My work has focused on still lifes of ordinary household objects.  In the "stuff" of our homes I think we each have special things that we relate to, things that remind us of our family, our friends, even our former selves.  When I compose my works, I look for artistic and thematic connections that can illustrate and speak to the broader meaning of the things of our lives.  Currently on view at Gallery House are works from my "Dress Series", digital collages inspired by a collection of dresses packed away in an old cedar chest.

"My design is characterized by a minimal, clean approach that seeks to combine functionality with beauty. Its focus is on simple shapes. The colors are neutral and monochromatic, with pops of color and simple patterns added, used as accents. You can find my work on Facebook and Instagram search for Manon.studio" Manon Janssen

Art has been an integral part of my life since I was a boy, realizing early on I had a gift for rendering the world with pencil and paper. In school, if I could draw it, I could learn it.  Throughout my career I enjoyed doing medical illustrations for my publications. Now that I am retired, painting has become an intense pleasurable focus.  I am instinctively drawn to deep rich colors and a diversity of textures. These qualities have come together with my “Color Cell” technique, where a dimensional acrylic bead creates cells into which the colors are poured. This renders a stained-glass presence to the pictures that is suitable for both representational and abstract images. The themes that interest me are drawn from a lifetime of looking at art, beauty serendipitously glimpsed, a moment of tenderness remembered, a desire to express visually a delightful feeling, and the excitement of patterns of color swirling into each other.

Max Komissarchik is a local Bay Area artist based in Mountain View CA. He is originally from St.Petersburg, Russia, a place which has inspired three centuries of great artists.

"After almost three decades pursuing a career in the Biotech, I discovered the joys of painting watercolors. I have always had great interest in art but wasn’t until recent years that I had the opportunity to paint. I love watercolors because of their transparency, versatility, fluidity and most importantly the element of surprise. Finding a right balance between controlling the paint and allowing the water to take its course is what keeps me continually fascinated."  Bharati Kshirsagar

Using "mending" as a primary metaphor, my practice transforms the ephemeral nature of memory into tangible, tactile objects. My work explores the spectrum of human experience through the traditional Korean lens of Hee-Rho-Aeh-Rhac: the four fundamental emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure. While the final form of each piece remains a mystery until its completion, the journey is one of discovery. My goal is to invite the viewer into this contemplative space, encouraging them to confront their own emotional landscapes and embark on their own meditative journey.

"I am an experimental artist, enchanted by the rhythms, sensuality, patterns and color of nature and urban life.  My background in science and dance brings both order and fluidity to my imagery. My work is in private and corporate collections including Kaiser Permanente, San Jose and Oakland."  Sydell Lewis

"Why do I photograph? Because photography is about seeing. Whether you “still yourself until the object of your attention affirms your presence” (Minor White) or recognize “in the fraction of a second, the significance of an event” (Henri Cartier-Bresson). Whatever the circumstance, my intent is to capture an image that will transmit to the viewer my response to the subject. I strive to respond to the world around me whether I am in a city full of people or solitary on a mountain."  Dan McLean

"Clay resists, clay yields; and there I play.

The tension between what holds and what gives way is where my work begins.
I'm drawn to the moment when a form begins to shift beyond its original stillness.
I follow that movement, allowing a gentle twist or quiet imbalance to emerge.
Even after firing, the piece carries the memory of having being fluid.

Opening and perforations extend that conversation. Light passes through, shadows shift,
and the boundary between interior and exterior becomes less certain. These
moments of permeability reveal what is usually hidden, inviting a slower way of seeing.

My practice is informed by years of teaching yoga, where attention rests on the
relationship between effort and ease. In clay, I explore a similar dialogue between
structure and openness, containment and release. Through these forms, I look for the
stillness that exists within change itself."

~Asia Morgenthaler

"My work is influenced by an early love of nature fostered by growing up in rural western Pennsylvania. The fields, the woods, to these I ran for consolation, nurture. Nature inspires me still. Her color combinations are always perfect; her beauty, unsurpassed. There is an also an Asian touch in my paintings. My husband is Japanese; we married and lived in Japan, and even after coming to California stayed for many years steeped in the customs of that land."  Patricia Nojima

Eimei Onaga is a multidisciplinary artist working in watercolor, ink, and acrylic, often integrating visual art with poetry and music. Born in Japan and raised in the United States, his work exists between cultures — where quiet landscapes meet personal history, and light carries sound.

After a long career in robotics and entrepreneurship, he returned to his creative roots not as a departure, but as a reunion of structure and sensitivity. His creative process reflects this duality: engineering precision balanced with intuitive gesture.

Through Eimei’s World, he seeks to make the unseen visible and the unheard tangible. Each brushstroke becomes a conversation between nature, time, and identity — an open invitation to reinterpret these elements across disciplines, allowing memory, movement, and material to speak in new forms.

He currently lives and works at the intersection of art and innovation in Silicon Valley, California.

Anne Pegolotti is a French-American artist who paints with emotion, intuition, and a love of color. Her abstract works are often inspired by the sea and nature, layered with movement, texture, and personal stories. Working primarily in acrylic and mixed media, she seeks to create pieces that speak to the heart and leave space for the viewer's own interpretation. Several of her paintings have been published in American Artwork and exhibited at venues including the 480 Lighthouse Gallery in Pacific Grove.

"I’ll shoot anything I can get in front of my lens, and if I can get it to splash, even better. I will start with a photograph, and then add or move elements to achieve the final image. I am inspired by everyday objects that can be altered to create a more abstract or surreal scene. My goal is to have an image that the viewer has to look more than once at in order to make sense of it. If they wonder, “How did he do that?” then I have achieved my objective."  Steven Shpall

"I like to author paintings as one might write a book. Sometimes my visual books are autobiographical, other times they are strictly fictional.  My paintings are often created in a series with color, composition and execution serving as the characters and settings. The times, places and events that I encounter serve as stepping stones for leaps forward in my imagination, using today to contemplate the future.  I confess to a love of science fiction and the hope it can inspire.  

Currently, my experiences are driving an exploration of theoretical artistic concepts in color or composition – a deep dive into abstraction where meaning is found in color, compositional relationships, and gestural marks.  

No matter the subject of my exposition, my paintings focus on appreciating this moment and moving forward into a hopeful future."  Nance Wheeler

I create art driven by emotions, predominantly using oils and occasionally incorporating encaustic, acrylic, and joint compound on various surfaces. Inspired by the textures, colors, and movements in nature, as well as fleeting sensations, each piece narrates a story through colors, strokes, and scale.

My art emphasizes movement and balance, harmonizing bold and sometimes chaotic narratives with a serene order conveyed through lines—a consistent theme in my work. I aim to foster connection through my work, offering a brief escape for a tranquil moment and an opportunity to pause.    -Jessica
