Art Along The River - SAT NOV 9

THE ARTISTS: Sunshine Moeschler - Sunshine Moeschler is a mixed media artist in Napa, California. She has displayed her work in the Art Gallery Napa Valley continuously since 2007. Her evolving style is concerned with color, movement, and emotion. A painting contains the DNA of the artist, and yet is different each time it is seen through someone's eyes. Sunshine is encouraged by knowing that every day her work brings joy and energy to her collectors. Shelly Hanan - I have exhibited within the US at Select Fair during Frieze, New York and at both Spectrum and Red Dot, during Art Basel, Miami. Internationally, I exhibited in London, England and Budapest, Hungary. I was awarded two public art installations in Napa, California. My most important and public opportunity came when I had 2 photographs accepted into a show at the de Young Museum in San Francisco, CA. One of the things most beneficial to my practice has been being an Artist-in-Residence. Having the time and space to do nothing but art is extraordinary. I was able to explore the west during my residency at Starry Night in New Mexico (twice). I had an amazing and eye-opening residence in Budapest, Hungary at the Hungarian Multicultural Center (HMC). My work was featured in an international exhibit in Budapest and at a worldwide, collaborative exhibit sponsored by the HMC and the state of Texas. Monroe Katz - Monroe Katz is a rare blend of talents: a dentist by profession, and an award-winning author, painter and sculptor. His difficult emergence as an artist has been a primary subject of his writing. His debut novel, Sparring with Rembrandt, chronicled his struggles growing up in Brooklyn, caught between his love of art and the difficult post-war demands of earning a living. A chapter was awarded a coveted first prize in the Napa Valley’s Jessamyn West writing contest. Dr. Katz’s next book was a sophisticated “how to” guide for aspiring painters and sculptors, based on his own personal journey as an artist. Dare To Create, The Joys and Tortures of Learning to Paint was hailed by the Eric Hoffer Awards as one of the best art books of 2018. Ricky Lee - Ricky Lee is a 56-year-old Napa native who discovered his artistic talents in 2006, when he began taking art classes. Ricky’s artwork can suggest abstracts, colorful dreams, even apocalyptic chaos. Faces and words may appear amid the flourishes; the more you gaze, the more Lee reveals. William McIntyre - A self-taught cartoonist with a passion for figurative illustration in acrylic ink and watercolor, the artist holds a BA in journalism and has pursued graduate work in political theory and history. Embracing a whimsical and contemporary style, the artist's work often leans towards the abstract in depicting the human form and condition, drawing inspiration from Cubism and surrealism. Zion Lee - Following his passion for cars and racing, 14 year old emerging photographer Zion Lee has spent many a day at the track with camera in tow. Utilizing his Nikon D80, Zion captures the essence of the automotive industry - the beauty of the iconic hood ornament, legacy cars and brands, vintage and modern designs as well as the iconic dashboards and engine machinery. The viewer is truly led to feel in the present company of Zion's day-in-the-life-of-a-car-lover through the lens of his camera and photographs. Sayon Syprasoeuth - an artist, a community activist and a teacher. He received his Master of Fine Art (MFA) from Claremont Graduate University (CGU, 2007), Sayon’s collages and images are reflective of his own journey as a Cambodian refugee – from his shocking exile from his childhood village on the Cambodian-Thai border (June 1975), to his scary passage into Thailand countryside. Aragna Ker - A native of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, Aragna Ker was born in 1974. He immigrated to Southern California, at the age of six. Aragna is currently employed as the Curatorial and Adaptive Design Manager for Momentum Creative (formerly United Cerebral Palsy Los Angeles), specializing in developing inclusive tools and artistic programming to adults with disabilities. Oliver Kolay - Still based in Yangon, 66-year-old Kolay learned painting in the 1970s during the reign of Socialist Republic of the Union of Burma, which at the time was led by President Ne Win. Ami Bhatt - My great grandfather was the rajpurohit (royal administrator) of the town of Alirajpur in the state of Madhya Pradesh. The king and queen gifted him ancient jewelry, which have become our family heirlooms. Much of my work is based on Rajasthani designs, Afghani designs, Tribal designs, and Kashmiri works. Katrina Gocan - Born in Poland, Katrina is inspired by the individual’s inner journey, and how myths, stories and culture shape a person’s, and by extension, a society’s vision of themselves. A late bloomer, she started painting in her mid 40’s and works with acrylic, watercolor and collage.
