Freeman Sargent
California Regionalism
 |
Freeman Sargent (1912-1990)Freeman Sargent painted primarily in the California Regionalist style (with strong parallels to W.P.A. muralists and the work of Thomas Hart Benton) often capturing local scenes of the SF Bay, the Filbert Steps, Coit Tower, Monterey Bay, UC Berkeley, Stanford and Marin. He also produced avant-garde abstract pieces and experimental mixed media works. Sargent was interested in all forms of arts and crafts and studied with master ceramicist, Marguerite Wildenhai, at Pond Farm Pottery in Guerneville.

Yeon Koh & David Warner
"Pan-Classlical" Sculptures
 |
Yeon Koh Warner (b 1967) & David Warner (1957-2021)Yeon and David met by serendipity and fate in 1991 when they were both studying and practicing the art of stone sculpture in the Italian village of Torano, (just outside of Carrara). Yeon moved next door to David in this region that is famed for its marble quarries. Yeon was born in Seoul, South Korea in 1967. She graduated from Seoul National University in 1990 with a degree in sculpture. David attended the University of Oregon and U.C. Santa Cruz, studying psychology and sculpture. He then moved to Italy in 1984. The two would eventually marry and continue their mutual pursuit of the three dimensional form in marble, bronze, terracotta, wood and plaster. Their work was exhibited throughout Italy. In 1999 they moved to Northern California. David recently passed and Yeon continues to live in the Bay Area.

Gaétan Caron
Mendocino, California
 |
Gaétan Caron (b. 1964)Gaétan’s recent oil series were painted in his newly constructed studio located on the wild side of "The Land". Many years ago life brought Gaétan to rural Mendocino in Northern California where he enjoys being surrounded by forests and mountains in the middle of an heirloom orchard. This is a land where wild ponies still roam freely. Different bands often come grazing in the meadow of the studio while Gaétan is painting. He has spent over twenty years observing them and connecting with them in their natural habitat. It was time for Gaétan to paint the magic of the Wild Horses in a series of that name.
