Portland-based Francesca Berrini uses found maps and the process of collage to create pieces that evoke a sense of place and history, a study of the intersection between manmade and natural forms, and ultimately, a reflection of nostalgia for places that only exist in her artwork. She has shown most recently at Seattle's Viveza Gallery. Saigon-born, Seattle-based Diem Chau has exhibited throughout Washington State, most recently at her solo exhibition “Reconstruction & Fabrication” at the Phinney Center Gallery in Seattle . Her paintings are visual translations of her memories and serve as a connection to her past and culture in subjects derived from stories told through friends and family. San Francisco's Kathryn Arnold's paintings are a result of intuitive nonobjective processes that emphasize mark-making to create a bewildering space that becomes a reference point between subjective and non-subjective realities. She is a NEA Regional Fellowship Recipient and has been reviewed by Chicago Tribune art critic Alan Artner and Art in America senior editor Raphael Rubenstein. Lisa Allen has most recently exhibited at the Swell Gallery in San Francisco . Her “Adding Machine Spews Thoughts” references automatic writing through the incessant production of words from a found calculator. She is currently a candidate for her BFA at the San Francisco Art Institute. San Francisco Art Institute alumnus Zane Peach's large-scale ink and paper pieces have been featured in many group shows around San Francisco, including most recently Southern Exposure's Annual juried show, Triple Base's “Assignment” shows and SFAI's Topography show. |
