MARSHA BALIAN
bio:
Marsha
Balian is a mixed media artist who admits great difficulty following
instructions, so by necessity is self-taught and often invents her own
techniques. Her work
often incorporates found objects including what might be found on the
floor of her studio. Since invention doesn't require strict adherence
to rules, her art avoids what might be literal and attempts to engage the imagination of the view. Humor is never far behind.
Her work has been shown throughout the Bay Area and in many parts of the country. In 2012 she won "Best of Oakland" in "Intersection: World Culture in the East Bay, Art.com and an honorable mention in the National Collage Society Annual Exhibit 2011.

DIANE DUNWOODIE
bio:
Abstract
painter Diane Dunwoodie uses art as a means of growth and discovery and
strives to avoid conventional rules. She allows her right brain to
flow freely onto
the canvas. She uses acrylic paint because it dries quickly and allows
her to create layers of color, and build textures on the surface. She
sometimes abandons the brush or pallet knife and uses her fingers to apply and
blend colors. She loves the the tactile carry over from her days of
working with Abstract work is something she finds challenging because she must work
without objective references, and this she feels allows her to paint
more expressively using color and form. Her newest work she calls "Observations" as
they are observations and comments on life and living. The work has a
simplicity to it, is serene yet bursts with color and life. She considers it a path towards a dream she will follow.
