Cohen, a Sonoma County-based architect and builder for over 40 years, is drawn to contrasts: new and old, created and found, weathered and highly finished. His sculptural art fabrications start with items he finds washed up on West Coast beaches. Alan transforms these materials in his Sea Ranch or Healdsburg shop, adding old fishing tackle, rusted wire, tools, brushes, and other recycled objects to create birds, underwater creatures, masks, and abstract pieces. His work is a blend of simplicity, elegance, whimsy, and fantasy.

Art Listings: March 2025 Featured Artist: Exhibits: 2nd Saturday Opening Reception: Location: Contact: “Knife Painting in oil, for me, is an exploration of possibilities. An idea or image takes form as I freely utilize knives and brushes with thickly applied color that is vibrant, alive, and assertive. The creative process begins to assume a life of its own, and herein lies the discovery of what can surprisingly unfold. As I work, I find myself immersed in the dynamic interplay between color and texture, allowing each stroke to guide the next. This spontaneous approach often leads to unexpected and delightful results. Hopefully, the final expression will both attract and engage others as they observe my efforts to share a bit of the beauty that surrounds us.”

Art Listings: March 2025 Featured Artists: Exhibits: 2nd Saturday Opening Reception: Location: Contact: Upper Gallery I Featured Artist: Grant Kreinberg, Photography Artist Statement: I didn’t start out to be an artist. Engineering has been my career. Photography has been my passion. I got my first camera when I was about 12 and never really stopped taking photographs. My education and experience have been as a civil engineer. I’ve gotten into the habit of carrying a camera with me, wherever I go. When something catches my eye, I photograph it. I’ve discovered that I have a good eye, and a great imagination. My goal is to take photos that folks look at and say, “That’s a cool shot.” I photograph what I see, and it took me years to realize that most folks didn’t see what I saw. My photos are representative of my different photographic interests. I favor nature and the outdoors of Northern California. I live in Northern California, and I’m always looking for a new road or a new area to explore. The abstracts are the product of my mind modifying what my eye sees. I’m a member of the BlackHawk Gallery in Danville, the Gallery at Marina […]
