                                   Picasso's Guitar - 30"x40" - Dan Mish

Using the power of bold colors layered in a patchwork of abstract shapes, Mish creates a checkerboard of distressed textured surfaces evoked chapters of ordeal, memories, fears, and emotions once pushed into dark corners now exposed and raw.

Dan's work has been exhibited in galleries from Miami to Los Angeles.

Matthew Picton - Orinoco River

The Orinoco River - 38" x 63" - Matthew Picton

Matthew Picton is a British-born artist living and working in Southern Oregon, "His work is influenced by cartography and the inherent beauty of lines and forms that arise from natural topography and built environments."

Matthew's work, at once painterly and sculptural, has been exhibited in Stuttgart, London, New York and Portland.
