Featured Artists
Tina Christiansen: Natural Insights
Her art work provides an insight into the natural world that transcends realism. She seeks to capture not only the beauty but the attitude of the creatures that she paints. The delicate tracings of mineral fractals in her paintings reflect those she finds in nature, especially in water.
Tina Christiansen: Electric Fish
I have seen the electrostatic field a murmuration of fish makes in the water.
Tina Christiansen: Fish Face
Look at a fish face long enough and something happens to you psychologically.
Tina Christiansen: Vertigo Beach
On this day, moving clouds above and reflected below me created a feeling of vertigo, a feeling of time relativity, and motion without me moving at all.
Tina Christiansen: Abalone Constellation
You can see a whole universe in an abalone shell.
Tina Christiansen: Earth from Space
You are here.
Tina Christiansen: Juvenile female kingfisher
These fisher birds inhabit the south bay area of Coronado. They hunt in the shallow waters that line the shore.
Mary Hale: Translucence, style and delicate grace
Mary Hale's oil paintings on porcelain are works of delicate translucence and beauty. She is also a teacher of the almost -lost art of kiln fired porcelain painting. Her paintings on canvas move into an even more intense color space and a bravura style of brushwork.
Jim Graham, Photographic Insights
Jim Graham creates a unique insight for us as he looks into his lens.
His photography is exquisite. His current work captures something of the soul of San Diego. Each is a portrait of a street musician playing plein air.
