Vivien Ebright Chung

The color, the movement! Vivien’s paintings are so stunning and alive. They echo the elegance of Rococo and Baroque art while abstracting figures, animals, and landscapes into dreamlike scenes. Each piece invites you to look closer and uncover new details.

Andie Dinkin

You might know Andie’s work from her famous mural at Gigi’s in Hollywood. Her paintings are rich with lush banquet scenes, allegorical figures, and animals hiding in plain sight. Step back, and you’ll see chandeliers, misty gardens, and starry skies that capture the joy of gathering and celebration.

Brittany Fanning

These works are from my black-and-white series Out of Time, inspired by Picasso’s grayscale, de Chirico’s statues and architecture, and film noir. The still lifes shift between crowded stacks of dishes and fruit or strangely open spaces, each carrying a quiet unease. As if something unusual has just happened.

Luke Forsyth

Luke is a staple in the LA art community, and I’m proud to have one of his works in my collection. Inspired by Giorgio de Chirico, he sets his still lifes against arches and architectural backdrops. Flowers, mountains, curtains, and vases become geometric and textured. Sometimes even with the feel of concrete. His style is instantly recognizable.

Charles Hickey

I first discovered Charles’ work in a collector’s home and was immediately captivated. He’s the only LA artist I know using a 3D pen to “paint,” creating bold, textured surfaces that read like sculpted color. Building on a lineage of painters from Van Gogh to Matisse (and even his own father, also a still-life painter), Charles transforms these influences into layered, collage-like works that feel both classical and completely new.

Angelica Lorenzi

Angelica was a thrilling new discovery for me. Though I usually focus on painters, her sculptures struck me as paintings in three dimensions. They are full of thick, gestural forms, abstracted figures, and flowers. With their braided, organic shapes, they feel grown rather than made. Her mirror works are especially striking, and each piece is truly one of a kind.

Taylor Prendergast

Taylor is a master of charcoal, and she brings that same expressive energy into her paintings of cherubs, horses, and hunting dogs. Her work recalls the grandeur of Baroque allegory, while her use of Goya-inspired aquatint techniques creates rich, velvety textures that illuminate her subjects.

Emily Rose Rudnick

At first glance, Emily’s works don’t look like still lifes. Look closer and you’ll see how she magnifies pearls, shells, and crystals into luminous abstractions, creating kaleidoscopic fields of iridescence and light. The paintings feel alive, caught in constant transformation.

Evan Trine

Evan has a very distinct and modern way of creating his still lifes. Using a large-format printer, he rearranges ink cartridges and runs images over and over, then cuts and sews the prints back together into patchworks that look painterly but remain tied to photography.
