He took a trip to Maui (before Covid), then in August he spent 2 ½ weeks along the coastal Pacific Northwest…prior to the wildfires. Then he enjoyed a week at Glacier NP capturing images of the various mountain locations with the smoke from 500 miles away adding an orange stain to the air. “This last spring, I explored Capitol Reef and Bryce, then the Eastern Sierras in May. Later in the summer, I’m heading to Scotland and Iceland again, and hopefully the Faroe Islands. The place intrigues me.” </span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Truby pointed out since landscape photos can often look the same, he chooses to offer a different end result. “My approach involves far more post production work - exploring the texture and feeling of the place, capturing a more mythic style that takes the eye on a journey. In post, I slip past the flat 2-D photo look you get from Canon or Apple’s algorithms. I’ve found that using the software tools to create a mixed genre artwork - with layering, brush work, painterly touches, helps open the viewer’s imagination. It’s a landscape photo that’s a visual journey.”</span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><br /></p><p class="p2" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s2" style="font-family: Helvetica; font-kerning: none; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTqn6tjD4-pH5wBdaYN_MWkQWREnlklvemAu61kEftgwLWTlhMnRJhNTU-eh4Y6qHtsEqFs7GpV6Ug1Vgdlv997H3JGubAQfl-rzpWlwwXF7Qv01KNYBhETKEhMIsNTeHETD-7vY1CEe8/s1000/June19-2021-OPT1000pixels-bGGallery-TimTruby-Twilight-ThorsWell_optimized.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTqn6tjD4-pH5wBdaYN_MWkQWREnlklvemAu61kEftgwLWTlhMnRJhNTU-eh4Y6qHtsEqFs7GpV6Ug1Vgdlv997H3JGubAQfl-rzpWlwwXF7Qv01KNYBhETKEhMIsNTeHETD-7vY1CEe8/s320/June19-2021-OPT1000pixels-bGGallery-TimTruby-Twilight-ThorsWell_optimized.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><i>See image: <span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Tim Truby, </span><span class="s3" style="background-color: white; font-kerning: none;">Sunset, Thor’s Well</span></i><p></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Sunset, Thor’s Well is a stunning photograph that will be included in “Spectrum Gestalt.” Truby explained that Landscape photography is a different beast from studio shooting. “The lighting and geology, the flow of tides and weather - you photograph what you’re given. So during my 2 weeks on the Oregon Coast, I booked 3 nights in Yachats to improve my chances of photographing Thor’s Well the right way. After all, this ‘well’ is a tidal pool hole that funnels the waves down a 15 foot drop into a lava tube and the ocean beyond. And it’s hypnotic. But you gotta be there at high tide in the middle of wind and waves. You’ve also gotta be there for sunset (for the total effect). Get that timing right (plus all the technical details) and you may have something.”<br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;"><br /></span></p><p class="p1" style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px;"><span class="s1" style="font-kerning: none;">Unfortunately while Truby was there, the sunset at high tide, did not coincide. So he moved on to his next stop, Bandon Beach. However in the back of his mind, he kept thinking about the Thor shot so he returned to get the shot. “By sunset, waves were doing their magic, plunging down into the pit and again with a roar.

He is excited to show his brand new series featuring 35 new works entitled “Black Series One.” The event will be held at Harper’s studio...a perfect place to celebrate his “Black series One” exhibition and exhibit his large artworks.<br />

This is a follow up to a show that he exhibited several years ago in which all of the paintings were white Harper recalls, “They were displayed in a space with white furniture and even the food served that night was white. And all the guests came wearing all white. So now, years later, I’m finally having a follow up show. It’s called “Black Series One” will be the next progression to that show. This exhibition is about personal evolution.”<br />
<br />
Gus is constantly busy painting commissions, working on new series and collaborating with other artists. However, through the years, he has learned to listen to his inner voice. An idea for a new series can come at any time. Harper continues, “Often, I am working on a new piece and in the process a new series slowly develops. It seems that I already have another series in the works for the next show already” <br />
<br />
Harper is known for his fantastic murals. He has painted over thirty murals all over the world, and created his largest to date last year in Malibu. In the early days of an upcoming project led the LA County Probation Department, Harper was commissioned to paint a 600-foot long wall. Harper was given a blank slate to create - an unusual, yet exciting and daunting opportunity for any artist. When asked if he drew out a sketch first, he replied. “No, I just let it flow.” Harper explained that he made a conscious choice to not pre-plan anything. “I wanted to just let the images come out of me. I saw some perplexed expressions on peoples faces when they asked me what I was going to paint, and I told him that I did not know yet. But luckily Harry had faith in me.” He added that allowing his creative flow to come out organically kept him from feeling restricted. You can view another mural on Pico (33rd Street) just off the 10 freeway. <br />
<br />
The artist reception takes place at his studio on February 15, 2020, from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Gus Harper’s Art Studio is located at 2900 Airport Ave. studio F, Santa Monica 90405 - the entrance is on the west side of the building). The exhibition will remain on view through February 19, 2020; Call for an appointment (310-699-9509) to stop in to see the exhibition.

The Upper West consistently supports nonprofit organizations, and has hosted the Oscars Watch Party to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) for the past six years. LLS is dedicated to funding research, finding cures and ensuring access to treatments for blood cancer patients. Since 1949, LLS has funded advancements in chemotherapies, stem cell transplants, targeted therapies and immunotherapies for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma that are saving thousands of lives today. LLS is currently involved with more than 300 active research projects.<br /><br />Sara Fay has been volunteering her time to LLS for many years now, and said she is excited to once again participate in the event. “This year, I'm fundraising in honor of my good friend Bernard. Bernard is a truly inspirational person and he's defied the odds against acute myeloid leukemia, the type of leukemia that killed my father in 2011. Bernard has given the most to the LLS community: time, energy and inspiration; hundreds of thousands of dollars raised, clinical trial participation. He is our MVP and I'm proud to know him and fundraise in his honor.”<br />

Currently on view at the gallery is a solo exhibition of photographs by Ryan Schude entitled “Give us the Wind,” which opened on November 23, 2019. The opening was a huge success. Schude has been working with the gallery for the past eight years, and said he loved the new gallery space. “I am eternally grateful for Om’s continued support and have always enjoyed the other artists he shows.” “Give us the Wind” runs through December 31st, 2019. <br />
<br />
Ray Ford may be best known for his stunning stylized birds which he hand-carved (one at a time) from 1973 – 1988, but at 92 years old, he is still creating new work. Dealing with issues of aging (his hands feel numb) which makes it much harder for him to work on his art, but he still adores doing it. Ford produces about one sculpture a week, which is a fraction of what he once used to turn out. He has been retired for the past twenty-five years and now he can take his time with each one of his carefully crafted creations. To this day, he works seven days a week, six hours a day, and loves every minute of it. “I just finished a wineglass out of wood with a free form, carved stem. The stem looks very organic like a branch of a tree. I am also working on a piece I am calling ‘Alien,’” said Ford.<br />

On Sunday, September 15, 2019, the Upper West Restaurant hosts an artist reception for “Blas,” a solo exhibition by Larry Wolf. The artist happens to be a long time diner of the restaurant. He had an incredible meal the first week that the restaurant opened back in 2010. “The amazing thing was you couldn’t tell that they had just opened from the care and service that I received. It wasn’t until I left and engaged with the owner that I discovered that he had just opened.” <br />
When asked what his favorite dish is, he replied. “The food is so exceptional and eclectic that it’s hard to have just one favorite dish, the hamburger is excellent and the appetizers are items that you can’t find in any other restaurant on the west side.”<br />
<br />
Wolf is looking forward to the big day. He has attended many of the past art receptions and said he enjoyed speaking with other artists. Wolf has been painting for over twenty years and loves to work with acrylic paints. “Acrylic paint allows me to work on multiple pieces at the same time. The ability to switch from one composition to another challenges my mind and my creativity.” He added that working with acrylic allows him to build up an area of the artwork, and it dries quickly. He talks about the inspiration for one his works entitled Explosion. “Often, when I'm searching for an answer to a problem, my mind feels as though it's exploding with hundreds of thoughts simultaneously. I wanted to capture that maelstrom of ideas on canvas just as my brain was experiencing "the burst."<br />

Wolf said he enjoys painting on untreated canvases which allows him to paint on both sides with very different results. Color is also an important part of his process. Sometimes he inserts additional found materials, creating a mixed media artwork. “My work is always so unpredictable. Whether it be the result of using untreated campus or silkscreen, both produce unpredictable and varied results. Not knowing what will be produced allows me to be continually surprised by the result. Surprise is a significant factor that is a part of my work. That element of surprise creates results otherwise not achievable by planning.”<br />

scenes and then exposes them to light, and then develops them the same way a
photo would be processed (with black and white development chemistry). These
one of a kind works, do not have a negative. For this exhibition some of the
photograms will be on the floor, and attendees can actually walk on them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">When discussing the title of her show and
series…she said she was drawn to the word Radiate as both her series name
and exhibition title for her love of the word, and its double meaning. “I chose
Radiate because I want my message to radiate.” The fact that her photo
exposures are created with radiation and remind her of x-rays, add to
double entendre and the strength of the word.</span></div>

The group show will feature additional artists Gregg Chadwick, Teale Hathaway, and Gay Summer Rick. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Curator Dale Youngman said, "Our Summer exhibition follows a popular theme for art, as the onset of Summer often leads to vacation – and more time off to enjoy the beauty and plenitude of what LA has to offer...lazy beach days, picnics in the park, free concerts, exploring unknown neighborhoods.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">"Surf & Turf" will include at least six paintings by artist Brooke Harker. Her artworks feature Los Angeles locations such as Hollywood, Downtown LA, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Venice Beach, in addition to interesting people included in the various scenes.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">“Four of the paintings in "Surf & Turf" are inspired by women whose stride through a busy city or wardrobe caught my attention and brought the scene to life,” said Harker. Actions or wardrobe selections play an active role in capturing Harker’s attention.“There is usually one item, vehicle or person in every painting who moves me to make the painting.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">"The Boulevard Smile” was inspired by her love of the eccentricity of Venice. “The presence of vibrantly colored buildings behind the traffic light reminded me of the flow of creativity present in so many people who reside in Venice, CA. I painted this piece in particular because I fell in love with the moment the woman in the watermelon colored dress crossed the street. I felt gratitude as she stepped into the cross walk. Harker went on to say that she found it intriguing…that the woman in her painting’s prior decision earlier that day to wear a flowing beautiful dress would speak to a stranger and inspire a piece of art. “Most of the time we don't know the extent of how our actions impact others whether favorable or detrimental. This painting is a salute to the many ways a moment can be brightened without comprehending the magnitude of our seemingly little choices."</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">On May 11<sup>th</sup>,
2019, “Alive in the Superunknown” opens at Castelli Art Space in Culver City. The
solo exhibition features the paintings of Bruce Rubenstein. </span><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Born and raised in New York, he was a working
artist, then moved to Los Angeles to begin working in the entertainment
business in 1985.</span><span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“Alive in the Superunknown” will
include 18 - 20 art works. The name is inspired by a Sound Garden Song. The
artist said he believes that the universe is never ending…</span><span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">infinite. There is no beginning, there is no middle, there is no
end.</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;"> </span><span style="color: #26282a; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“If you dig deep enough into my work you will see subtle hints
of an ancient language, a subliminal iconography of sorts, often
times resembling Egyptian hieroglyphics buried just beneath the canvases
surface. Where this language originated from I have no clue. I believe all
artist's abilities comes from thousands of years of evolution. You just have to
open your mind and trust your instincts. And above all you have to learn how to
listen. If you can train yourself to get to that place, the Superunknown,
you can paint who and what you are.”</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Growing up, he was always interested in art. He has been
painting for over forty years. He chooses to begin his process with no
preconceived ideas. He does not work from sketches…planning out the artwork,
like some artists. “I allow the paintings to reveal themselves, and as
they do I become a vessel to something greater than myself. This is the
marriage between the physical-self and the spiritual-self. In order for
this co-mingling to come to fruition it takes trust, it takes commitment and
above all it takes patience. Each painting is unique, with its own
DNA. I don't always understand the reasons behind why it looks the way it
does. My main objective is to focus on the colors and composition. The rest I have no control over. I write that off to the Superunknown.”</span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;"><i>Reflections in a Golden Eye; oil, acrylic, enamel, fabric pieces, charcoal on canvas, 65 x 114 inches, 2018</i></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">The
artwork entitled Alive in the Superunknown (same name at the exhibition) was
created in multiple layers. “I usually work on raw canvas, meaning unprimed so
it has a bit of tooth. This gives the overall painting a gritty base to build
on top of. Some of the residual colors remain intact as I pass the
white oil-bar over them. To make the white lines pop I outline them
with a charcoal vine giving the piece a three-dimensional feeling. My intention
is to create an unknown alien language, a Matrix of
sorts, similar to ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. The overall goal
(my intention) is that the viewer will eventually
interpret his or her own truth from what they are seeing.” </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Rubenstein’s work has been exhibited
and collected worldwide.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Bossen was raised by artists. Inspired by his father, a
photographer and his mother a ceramicist, he was drawn to art since he was a
child. His parents would provide paper with colored pencils and it kept him
busy for hours. “<span style="color: #222222; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">My
brother and I would draw fantastical scenarios. He moved on to other interests,
but I kept with it.”</span><span style="color: #222222;"> <span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Bossen eventually started painting in his junior year at Kalamazoo
College. Now his process includes drawing, photography first, but he will also
use a computer as a starting point for many of his works, but added, that the
final product is painting.</span></span></span></div>

<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">When asked what
inspires him, he replied, “I look for images that interest me. I take these
from photos that I take or friends’ photos, as well as magazine, and movie
stills, pretty much from anything that I feel drawn to. Whenever he starts a
new painting, these are go-to images for him. “I will look through these images
to see what I am drawn to, what about them I currently find most interesting.
Sometimes it is the facial expressions, or how figures interact with one
another, it might be a gesture or a mood that the figure conveys.” Then he
creates sketches of the paintings first, either by hand or on the computer.
Once he has decided on<b> </b>the layout, the work begins. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">When asked what type of paint he prefers, he
replied, “<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I’ve used a variety of
mediums. I currently use oil and acrylic. Different types of paint have
different qualities that I find useful for varying techniques, but the lushness
and depth of oil is my favorite.”</span></span></div>

is an important organization dedicated to funding research, finding cures and
ensuring access to treatments for blood cancer patients. Since 1949, LLS has
funded advancements in chemotherapies, stem cell transplants, targeted
therapies and immunotherapies for leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and
myeloma that are saving thousands of lives today. LLS is currently involved
with more than 300 active research projects. </span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;"></span></div>

event was originally created by Sara Fay. Each year she has been joined by
additional volunteers to present this special fundraising event. Now at this
sixth edition Chrystine Garner joins Fay. A fellow athlete, Garner is also
training for triathlons (like Fay). The not for profit organization offers a
program called </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Team In Training. It comes with
training for endurance events…in return the participants raise funds while
running and improving their own health through exercise. <span style="color: #222222;">Both Fay and Garner said they were happy to be involved
in this program and excited to raise awareness and funds for the Leukemia &
Lymphoma Society's important research and patient programs. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">Fay and her co-presenters have
raised more than $100,000 for the cause. </span></div>

said she was grateful to have The Upper West as a partner all these years. Each
year, the restaurant donates 25% of all sales of that day to Leukemia &
Lymphoma Society. The Upper West staff in turn is excited to once again host
the annual fundraiser which begins at 4:30pm. Arrive early to take photos on
the red carpet. Many people will dress up, (although it is not required). </span><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 11.0pt;">This is a great time to put in your
dink and food order, while meeting friends and settling in before the big show.

years I wanted to do art, however I wasn't sure how to pursue it as a career,
said the artist. “I even took a tour at an art school when I would fresh out of
high school. In addition to art, photography played a major role in his life.
“I was working for a Green Screen photography company (in college), so I felt
like my wisest pursuit would be a Fine Arts Degree in photography. </span><span style="color: #212121; font-family: "arial"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><br /> </span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="color: #212121; font-family: "arial"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">As an accomplished photographer, Bugazzi had lived the high life
in LA, but always felt like something was missing. “</span><span style="font-family: "arial";">I took the energy I used in the Hollywood party scene
into getting sober, on top of that I suddenly had a lot of free time, so I was
able to hit the art with a vigor and passion I had not seen come out of myself
for years.” His creative juices were flowing as he created more and more mixed
media works, and was invited to exhibit at several galleries around Santa
Monica. He continues to do his art and has been commissioned to create new
works. “I have been building more complex works since using the proceeds from
my art sales to keep advancing the next works.”</span>

</style>The group exhibition will feature a variety of
artists such as the work of painter Kristen Wright
LMFT, who has been painting since she was five years old. She
currently works in oil, acrylic, and water color. Photographer Pamela
Kirst, PhD, will feature a work called Infinite Folds, which is the
final image in a series of photographs called The Fungi Family. “My fascination
with them came about because they just appeared one day in my psychology office
(found sharing the pot of one of her plants) to my consternation and then
amazement…and refused to leave.”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica"; mso-bidi-font-family: Helvetica;">Robin Walker LMFT, is another painter
included in the show. “I make stories with my paintings - they have a
strong sense of narrative. He is currently working on a series called
“Strongmen” featuring men lifting weights, wearing power suits / military
uniforms. “I’m attracted to this image because, psychologically, they just want
to be liked, but it’s hard for men to admit to this,” said Walker.</span>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“I discovered Upper West about four years ago. I love
the ambiance, checking out the Art and most importantly Chef Nicks artistic
food creations. That is what keeps me going back.” Singer and her husband frequent
the restaurant. She said her husband’s favorite dish is braised short
ribs. “I never eat Mac & Cheese and yet I made the mistake of taking a
bite and now I dream about it. So many of their ingredients are sourced locally
and taste and feel like a farm to table experience.”</span>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">She added that she has always been impressed with the art on

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“It is not unusual for me to take a finished piece and feel
compelled to paint over all or part of it,” said Singer. “So some have
multiple lives.” <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She commented that some
paintings just come together right away and feel finished. “Other times
that is just a starting point and from there I respond to what is on the
canvas.” </span></div>

works with Acrylic paints, Oil pastels, and many mark making tools. She
explained, “From time to time I use stencils, mixed media and digital images I
create in Photoshop.” Color can be the theme of the work, or the impetus to
starting the painting. She chooses not to work in series. “My process is
more intuitive and organic and doing a series would feel stifling to me. I feel
that my best pieces come from my heart not my head.”</span></div>

The Upper West celebrates the art of Veronique Periano in a solo show entitled You got me floatin’.<br />
<br />
Born in Algiers, Algeria from French parents, Veronique Periano has lived all over France. She spent her childhood and teenage years in Marseille and was drawn to art at a young age. Starting first with arts and crafts, she focused her creative skills on painting in 1992 and has continued ever since.<br />
<br />
Periano will be exhibiting work over seventeen paintings created in 2017 and 2018 as part of her solo show.<br />
<br />
Periano on Upper West:<br />
“Upper West is able to mix taste, class, humility, affordability and keeps it relaxing for all. The best place I have seen in L.A. county in decades.” She added that the restaurant had yet to disappoint her. “I am always surprised and pleased by the mixing of flavors and the freshness of it all. It is unpretentious but yet grand. Innovative but yet traditional.” <br />
<br />
The artist works on her paintings diligently. The next piece is always on her mind. Her art is inspired by her love of colors, nature and the victory over the struggles of life.<br />
<br />
The painting entitled My House was inspired by the uncertainty of <br />

Raised in a small rural town outside Chicago during the 70’s and early 80’s, Letchinger wanted to be an artist from a young age and fondly recalled her first experience with art. “One of the first memories I have of mark making was when I was very little and came across piles of new white paper and sharpened pencils in my grandparents' attic,” said Letchinger. “I clearly remember drawing a single crisp line across the vast emptiness of the paper and for whatever reason, I was hooked.” <br />
<br />
These days Letchinger paints on a daily basis, mainly working in acrylic mixed with graphite, charcoal, collage or pastel to create her large, urban-inspired pieces. Her paintings are collected internationally by individuals, designers, architects and developers.<br />
<br />
Piece by Piece serves the residents of Skid Row and South Los Angeles, working with those living in supportive housing and individuals with very low income. In addition to providing free mosaic art workshops—with an emphasis on recycled materials, the program offers a sense of community and opportunities to earn much-needed supplemental income. Participants gain self-confidence, courage and an improved quality of life while giving back to their communities as they collaborate to create large-scale public art projects.<br />

-->\S</style>Said Letchinger, “As I began planning the show, it became clear that I had a special opportunity to offer this remarkable nonprofit not only financial support (10% of any sales of my work) but also exposure to new audiences in a gallery setting to help increase their own sales and collector relationships. Program Director and professional mosaic artist Dawn Mendelson had the idea that one of my paintings be interpreted into mosaic for the show, a wonderful physical manifestation of energetic connection extending out of my studio and into this inspiring community.” <br />

sculptures as part of the “Circular” show. “</span><span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">I do a lot of work on the
lathe so those pieces are circular, at least in one dimension.” Ford said one
of his favorite things to do is create circular works on the lathe and then
enhance them with intricate designs. “The most fun is to make the leaves after
it is turned,” said the artist. These exquisite one-of-a-kind sculptures are
what Ford is known for. In addition to being a talented wood carver, </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">he has done quite a
bit of drawing and painting in his lifetime, but wood carving remains his main

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.5pt;">On Sunday, May 6th, SANTA MONICA AUCTIONS returns with an
exceptional curated auction featuring art by legendary artists. One such work
by Shepard Fairey has attracted the attention of many. The mural size artwork
(8x14’) contains all the iconic imagery that Shepard is known for. From the
obey symbol, airplanes, the peace dove…it features many of the recognizable
symbols and images of the renowned street artist.</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "times"; font-size: 16.0pt;"></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.5pt;">“The key to this auction is it offers high quality at all price
points. It does not have to be expensive to be high quality,” said Robert
Berman, owner of SANTA MONICA AUCTIONS.</span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.5pt;">Berman has been a respected art dealer for the past forty years.
He encourages collectors to come in (both new and seasoned) and speak with him
or his staff…ask questions prior to the event. “At this auction the public will
find everything from easy abstractions to the most sophisticated collectible
rare and sort after works such as Bruce Conner, Robert Longo, and Ed
Moses.”</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "times"; font-size: 16.0pt;"></span></div>

<br />
<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.5pt;">Artworks by Andy Warhol are always a popular auction item. Art
lovers can bid on one of Warhol’s most collected series of Chairman Mao (Mao
Tse Tung, 1972). “It’s a beautiful print, said Berman. “It’s the kind of work
that is both filled with irony humor and art history…It is the type of work
that people collect, not only for America, but around the world.”</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "times"; font-size: 16.0pt;"></span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.5pt;">Two amazing Carlos Almaraz oil paintings are also up for auction
(one directly from his monumental retrospective at LACMA). Almaraz is the most
collected of the Chicano artists. Berman added that he sold a pastel at his
last auction for a record price.</span></div>

<span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.5pt;">Berman said he was excited to share a work by one of the amazing
artists of the twentieth century…Francis Bacon. “This artist’s paintings have
sold for more than any other artists at auction, over $145 million dollars. He
has made very few large (over-sized) hand pulled stoned lithographs, and we
have one.”</span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.5pt;"> </span><span style="color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.5pt;">He continued, “Some of his work is too graphic for most people,
but this 1971 lithograph (50 x 45 inches) is quite special… the gesture of a
bull fighter playing off the force and movement of the bull is magnificent.”</span>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">“I am very
impressed with Upper West!” said Tepedino. “The food is delicious and varied,
the service is excellent and it has a great clientele. The restaurant has a
certain buzz which makes it feel exciting and interesting!” When Tepedino was
first introduced to Upper West Restaurant she took notice of the ambiance and
cuisine. “My favorite dish is the Sea Bass and the Corn Chowder!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Love, Love, Love!”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Tepedino
continued, “I have enjoyed looking at the abstract art on the walls at Upper
West which adds to the ambiance of the restaurant!" Although she has not attended
any of the artist openings, she said she is looking forward to having her work
exhibited at the Upper West.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">Tepedino grew up in the Caribbean, where
she was inspired to paint. Maureen's creativity was encouraged by her parents
who recognized her talent from a very young age. “</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 11.0pt;">When I was 7 years old, I painted a
picture of a man crossing over on a branch in a tree and my father thought it
was a very good painting!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can hear him
saying to my Mom, ‘this little girl is talented’!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I still remember feeling very proud as my
parents and my 6 sisters loved it and supported my creativity!”</span></div>
