I am a landscape painter in the minimalist tradition.My primary focus is with nature's color, my response and maturation of that color.  How I best convey the emotional impression of a particular hue is through the awareness and susceptibility of light.  My work is contemplative and a tool for meditation.  I don't give all the answers.  I want the viewer to enter the work and stay a while and have their own journey.  All my work is oil paint on canvas and the sizes range from as small as 20" x 20" to multiple panels extending up to eight feetPlease visit my web site at tinarousselot.com where I have posted my most recent work.

In the style of Abstract Expressionism 

the spontaneity of the artist's approach to his work draws from 

and releases the creativity of his unconscious mind!

“Hello All My Friends: My name is Reuben Mayes. I am 32 years old and I live in McKinleyville. I am an artist and my style is named Abstract Expressionism. I feel excited and happy and proud and silly and crazy when I am painting.”

 -Reuben T. Mayes, Artist

Reuben uses acrylic on canvas because it dries faster than oils and acrylic is easy for him to apply with his high-energy brush strokes on any size canvas, representative of Abstract Expressionism, a painting style in which an artist applies paint rapidly and with force onto a small to huge canvas in an effort to show feelings and emotions, painting gestural, non-geometrically, sometimes applying paint with large brushes, sometimes dripping or even throwing it onto canvas. Abstract Expressionism is characterized by a strong dependence on what appears to be accident and chance but which may be highly planned. Sometimes an Abstract Expressionist is concerned with adopting a peaceful and mystical approach to a purely abstract image. Usually there is no effort to represent subject matter. All of Reuben’s work is abstract and expressive with the spontaneity of Reuben’s approach to his work drawing from and releasing the creativity of his unconscious mind. The expressive method of his painting is considered as important as the painting itself. Reuben insists on painting in his work boots so he named his website "art in my work boots". World-famous Abstract Expressionist Artist Jackson Pollack also insisted on wearing heavy leather boots when he painted commenting it made him feel grounded and connected to the earth.

What happens when a bookworm turns artist? Still life paintings become stories and the mundane is sprinkled with fancy.I grew up devouring fairytales and historical novels and public television. Long ago and far away were part of daily imagination for me. As an adult, I now see how the unchanging truths of humanity were captured in those stories. Long ago is not so far away as we might think. That consciousness and youthful wonder still color my life and artwork today.Whether still life, portrait, or landscape, my work is inspired by a sense of "Otherness." I used to think of "Other" as something removed from our world, but now, I think of it as the quality uniting us across time and space. We may describe it as "Other" but it is simply deeper than the mundane, the trivial, the passing. "Other" is instead Universal and Constant, our reflection of the Divine and our longing for the Eternal. It is those fragments of beauty in a broken world..For more about my development as an artist, visit my main website, or subscribe on Facebook to catch my latest work as it comes off the easel!

Currently exhibiting at Piante Gallery, Eureka CAthrough July 28, 2012Born and raised in California. I currently reside in northwest California. I am self-taught; fashion illustration in the early years and presently; oil painting. My subject matter ranges from figurative, scapes, portraiture to abstracts.Composition, shape, texture and color are important components in my work. I paint impasto, using painting knives almost exclusively. Impasto style suggests instead of describes, allowing room for interpretation; thus a more inclusive experience for the viewer.CollectionsCristina Bauss / David BerginPiercy, CAEric Furman / Aline FabenFortuna, CAJennifer GloverEureka, CAHolly GlavichEureka, CABeth 'fama' LauerMad River, CADr. Thomas MaysEureka, CAPam and Manuel ParsonsGarberville, CADiane WestonSan Francisco, CAKit SumersFlagstaff, AZKevin and Sara WalkerEureka, CACarla YvonneRedway, CAWayne and Toni FarrarEureka, CAFor additional work and current | future exhibitions, visit:georgialongoils.com georgialongoils.blogspot.com

After my Masters in Art in 1989, I worked as an sculptor creating indoor/outdoor female, figurative sculptures for a total of 15 years. I created many of my sculptures form Ferro-cement. Others are made of Wood or Clay. In 2008 I shifted to 2D and began painting with Pastels . 3 years later, Oils on Canvas. At the same time my subject matter changed, from the figure, to the landscape that surrounds me from my home in Northern California and beyond and, varies from water scenes and trees to wildlife and birds. Ultimately, regardless of my medium, subject matter or, muse, my goal has been, from the beginning, to express the passion, and joy I feel for nature in all it's glory and beauty.HAC Member Since: 2009

Regina Case lives on the coast of Northern California. She has had solo exhibitions at Robert Allen Fine Art in San Francisco, Convergence Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and The Morris Graves Museum of Art in Eureka, California. Her paintings have been shown at Desert Art Collection, Palm Desert, California, D’Adamo/Woltz Gallery in Seattle, Rodger LaPelle Galleries in Philadelphia, Erlich Gallery in Marblehead, Massachusetts and others, resulting in their placement in hundreds of national and international collections.

"I paint what is around me every day; the cup of coffee, animals, river. By using unlikely combinations of elements or points of view, the images are shifted beyond everyday reality, investing them with heightened significance. Nature is pulled inside and rooms are opened to it. A cup of coffee in a daybreak livingroom and leaves blowing upriver in warm summer wind are interwoven: all things that carry the mind home, bringing life into quiet kitchens."

Glenn Berry

HAC Member Since: 1996

A founding father of Humboldt State University's Art Department and a nationally recognized painter, Glenn Berry is the creator of a distinctive and prevailing geometric style of painting in which faceless figures shift and explore the landscape, symbolizing the process rather than the end result. This retrospective highlights Berry’s career achievements and illustrates his unique style. A full color catalog will be available for purchase in the Museum Store. Glen Berry was born on February 27th, 1929 in Glendale, California. He received his BA from Pomona College in 1951 and his BFA and MFA from the Chicago Art Institute in 1956. That same year, Berry accepted a teaching position as a professor of art at Humboldt State University where he taught until 1981. Berry has had several one person shows, mostly within the county of Humboldt, as well as in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. He currently resides and works in Humboldt County. Over 30 of Glenn Berry's works are part of the Humboldt Arts Council Permanent Collection and are featured in both solo and group HAC exhibitions.
