ARTIST WEBSITES



Kathryn Arnold - Paintings
Kathryn Arnold is an artist working primarily with painting. Applying abstraction, Arnold formalizes the coincidental and emphasizes conscious process of composition. Colors in Arnold's paintings are variously jewel-like or subtly muted. The paint's texture varies, drawing the viewer in. In Kathryn's own words, "I allow for intense optical mixing as layers build upon each other with translucent effects integrating both on canvas and in the eye. I build up surfaces with marks. As I work, I notice a sense of personality and emotive nature developing and pursue it. Poetic gestures reveal the diaphanous character of thoughts and associations (processes of mind) in substantial and solid form." Located in San Francisco.

Santana Star - Paintings
Santana was born in Glasgow Scotland, grew up on the East Coast of Canada, lived in England for 20 plus years and now lives in Northern California. She has always loved beauty especially the beauty of nature. She loves being out in nature and her paintings express the majesty of nature with bold shapes and vibrant colors.
