About Some of our Artists
Prabin Badhia:
I like the gestures, contours, and volume of the human form. Whether the model‘s pose is active or passive, I seek to convey the dynamism and movement of the body. I bring that to action on my canvas - any size, any shape, any gender. Since my college days, I have made more than 100,000 sketches.

Gera Hasse:
I have been spending time with a person with dyslexia. That experience has made me see letters and numbers as objects rather than the words we leap to when we see them. In these six pieces I have played with convention and relationships of those objects. It is necessary to move things around in your head to make sense of them. That is a valuable ability. I have used letters that are rigid to show the freedom we can have inside a preordained structure. Other elements in the collage give a sense of the foundations of numbers and letters. Basically I am playing with ideas. Hope you can play too.

Jeff and Wendy Photography:
We are passionate about the out-of-doors and have also been bitten by the travel bug! Our cameras accompany us on all of our adventures so we can capture images of spectacular places we have visited. Photography has allowed us to gain a more intimate perspective on wildlife while viewing them through the lens of a camera. |

Cindy Podren:
I have always wanted to paint and began dabbling about twenty years ago. In 2002, I suffered the biggest personal loss of my life and took up painting more intensively at that time. I paint mostly in oils, although I use watercolors when traveling. I paint plein air landscapes, and do studio work from my photographs, hoping to convey my feelings about these sites and the beauty of the ordinary. |
Michael Sacramento:
My urban collage paintings are inspired by my day to day observations - from street scenes, billboards and posters to often overlooked surfaces, architectural elements and birds. I translate these moments into fragmented images, objects, textures and colors. As I collect and interpret these visual cues, I use them to create a new visual experience. This process for me is purely intuitive and my ultimate form of self expression.

Valerie Sobel:
My work process involves intuition, imagination as well as intellect; serendipity as well as planning and design. I always observe the world around me, consciously noting details and I leave it to my senses to randomly record what they deem worthy of interest. It will trickle down to my consciousness later.

Camille Torres:
I have been making jewelry since I was a child, but as an adult, it has become my passion. Born in Oakland and raised in Sonoma County, I have always had a love affair with the gnarled branches of oaks, and the majestic, misty redwood obelisks that distinguish the hills of California. |
