Collage artist Simon Blake playfully brings together images from the past to create visual parables and tongue-in-cheek tableaux.  His digital collages and hand-cut assemblages surprise and delight with whimsy and wry humor. 

MIXED MEDIA ARTIST

A leading figure among contemporary outsider artists, Géza Brunow creates lush, metaphysical paintings that echo the spirit of magical realism. His work spans large-scale murals to intricate miniatures, using mediums such as casein, oils, ink, scratchboard, and printmaking. Brunow’s richly colored compositions weave allegory, cultural commentary, and poetic symbolism into visual tapestries that explore the complexity of human experience.

LOUISIANA PAINTER

Craig Crawford’s moody, exquisite southern gothic landscape paintings and drawings contain equal parts charm, grace and eeriness.  In them can be found traces of his native Carolina Lowcountry marshes and forests mingling with the distinct atmosphere of Louisiana swamps.

Famed for his lush, painterly portraits of people and places throughout the south, especially in his native New Orleans, Lee Crum’s iconic images, created on bulky, large-format cameras, remain some of the best in his field.   

PHOTOGRAPHER

British born photographer Benjamin Dome has spent over twenty years helping indigenous tribes of southwestern Ethiopia tell their stories to the world.  Earning trust and respect by becoming fluent in their non-written languages, he has unprecedented access to the most intimate aspects of daily life in remote villages. His resulting portraits and depictions of their vanishing way of life convey a universal humanity.

TEXTILE & MULTI MEDIA ARTIST

Brazilian mixed media artist Rodrigo Franzão transforms everyday textiles into abstract, three-dimensional forms. His hand-assembled works shimmer with rhythm and movement, blurring the line between craft and fine art. Drawing on his background in language, visual arts, and psychopedagogy, Franzão evokes emotion through the interplay of color, light, and texture.

FRENCH MODERNIST

French modernist Françoise Gilot lived to be nearly 102 years of age and remains a legend in the art world. Her drawings, paintings and unique Monotypes featured here offer unprecedented collecting opportunities. If you’ve read her book “Life with Picasso” or any of her subsequent writings, you only become more impressed with this artist’s depth, intelligence and talent. A definite “must buy now” for serious collectors.

Golden’s elegance as a painter and his distinctive style of gentle surrealism distinguish him as a great southern American regionalist.

PAINTER AND SCULPTOR

Photography is a very affordable way to begin or add to your collection.

His masterful drawings, watercolors, oils, and acrylics bear a distinctive style and pack an emotional punch.

Ken Nahan’s eloquent paintings on canvas and sanded maps and nautical charts contain multitudes.  Dancing between positive and negative space, his soaring lines and non-specific symbols pay homage to Miro, Kandinsky and Calder while remaining wholly his own.   

IMPRESSIONIST

Andrew Portwood’s colorful neo-Impressionist abstracts often contain figurative elements playing hide-and-seek amid brilliant color fields.  These are complimented by his deft figure drawings in charcoal which reveal classical technique treated with modern sensibilities.
