That being said, it is all so important for the Artist to create artifacts, real tactile objects, to have a concrete form in front of you completes the communication, expression. “In my work, painting and dripping are pretty much a meditation, I get blinded in the process of the flow. I’m never afraid to jump into new ideas, there are no mistakes.”

FEATURED ARTIST GARY FAIR Media: OIL Title: “OIL PAINTINGS BY GARY FAIR” Artist Statement: Growing up in Northern California, and seeing sailboats on San Francisco Bay, formed for Gary an indelible sense of wonder in the power of the wind. Being self taught requires Gary to work harder at seeing, and capturing the image he feels. His work comes from his pure love for the light and shadow, and the use of real color, seen in and throughout where we live. Self taught artists paint from within, first, without instruction or the confines of rules and structures imposed by outside ideas and techniques. Their art is a part of them and involves a freedom that cannot be taught, but can only be experienced. With Gary’s art, one experiences his expression of moment and image. In Gary’s words: “Through my paintings, I try to capture the pleasure it is to live today, here and now. Everything around us, whether it’s sailing on the bay, or viewing a flower garden, you can be there through my art.” SHOW DATES: FEBRUARY 1 TO FEBRUARY 28, 2016 OPENING RECEPTION, FRIDAY FEBRUARY 12TH, 5-8 pm

She builds most of her pieces in a wet-on-wet process (wet watercolor paints on wet watercolor paper) resolving the pieces as the paper slowly dries.

She often mixes the watercolor process with work using colored pencils, pastel, charcoal, […]
