RYAN SNOW

Ryan Alexandre Snow is an abstract minimalist artist whose painting work explores the balance of peaceful mind inspired by nature, color, symmetry and resonance. His current body of work consists of organic shapes of color overlapping on raw canvas in perfect spacial harmony within the frame creating a feeling of zen. With a focus on the total resonance of each piece, his practice has evolved to include foraging nature for earth pigment to make his own natural paints, and collecting unique rare pigments from around the globe.

BORAMIE SAO

Boramie Sao is a self-taught Cambodian American artist from Long Beach, California, primarily working in oil. Her dedication to the exploration of self, identity, the human experience, and the nuances that follow, have influenced the evolution of her work since the very beginning of her art practice. From as early as she can remember, Boramie’s work has been a reflection of her curiosity and desire to understand her surroundings through first-hand experiences and stories she’s collected over the years.

JIM OLARTE

Olarte’s work ranges from large to small installations created out of marine objects that he’s found or salvaged. Each piece, whether a delicate seashell or a piece of wave-tumbled driftwood, is treated with respect, as coequal elements of an infinity of integrated life cycles. These bits from the sea and shore are often knotted into his macrame art. He doesn’t drill holes into any natural element of the earth, shells or rocks, but only uses their natural or eroded holes and openings.

EMELIE RICHARDSON

Emelie Richardson’s handwoven works blur the boundaries of traditional craft and painting. In Emelie’s handwoven paintings, chance and improvisation have become integral elements to the laborious process of weaving, in which fluid line and form cannot be easily controlled. Allowing the materials to play a large role in informing the work, Emelie highlights spontaneous subtle shifts in surface texture and tonality. Emelie currently lives and works in Chimayo, New Mexico.
