Our Artists
Lance Anderson
Lance Anderson's art is strongly influenced by his work in the film industry as a special effects make-up artist. He draws his inspiration from a combination of childhood memories, classic black and white films of the thirties and forties and his observations on the many movie sets he has worked on.
Brenda Anderson
My paintings at the moment reflect my interest in horizon lines, muted pallets and the subtle changes of light and time on waterscapes and farming areas. Even though my work quite often mimics the coast line and fields of California, it is primarily through my months spent each summer on Lake Michigan and frequents visits to Telluride, Colorado, that inspire the layouts and palette. The many lakes and orchards in the areas I choose to paint are constantly changing with the erratic weather patterns. I try to document these changes; the serenity of an abandoned beach, pounding waves on the shore line after a thunderstorm, dark, cruel rushing water and snowy orchards. My Telluride pieces are usually quite simple and filled with light because that that is what I experience each time I go. I want to capture the drama of sky vs endless fields and the sharp hike of mountain. Each site that I have chosen to paint is lovingly detailed, solitary and actually exists.
My work begins with quick watercolor sketches and the use of multiple photos taken of each area. As I love the twilight time, I must be quick to get my subject laid out or the light will be gone. The aim is to capture the shimmer just before sundown, the wild cloud formations and colorful sky. All work is begun on site then completed in the studio using a combination of both acrylic and water based oils. I like pieces that are part of a series, because they are able to tell a more complete story. These are just a few pieces of the many that I have recorded while in Michigan and Colorado.
Carla Marlenée Bates
"Often in my paintings, I aim to illuminate the human connection with nature, especially a surfers call to the water. I want to capture the coastal creature in their element; playful, contemplative and immersed in the great beauty of the Pacific Ocean. The subject matter can be described as esoteric, but I think it can speak to that place of joy we all feel inside when we know, in that moment, we are grateful to be here."
Kim Bennet
My process starts with up-cycling vintage figurines, antique china, buttons and found objects. The juxtaposition of the materials showcase a whimsical and unique design.

Diane C Hines

And say what you feel
Because those who mind don't matter
And those who matter, don't mind" --Dr. Seuss

Lanna Duncan
Lanna Duncan is an artist who enjoys her life in both west Texas and southern California. Her oil and pastel painting is inspired by God's gift of beauty in both of these places.
Jessica Fairley
Jessica is drawn to painting the California landscape, especially the ocean and all things involving water. Next to light, water is the most beloved subject of hers to paint. She loves that light is not that by which we see, but rather, that by which we see everything else. And the flow of water is both meditative and hypnotic in its form, or lack thereof. She loves the way that water is both representational and abstract in its form.
Jessica has been featured in multiple publications, including most recently in the September, 2018 issue of Victoria magazine, where her artwork was featured in their "Favorite Things" column. Jessica has been selling her artwork online for several years, being collected in private collections throughout the United States and France.
Helane Freeman
Painting is Helane Freeman's forté; she has been an artist all her life. A distinguished student, Helane graduated with honors from Pasadena's Art Center College of Design, earning a Bachelor's Degree in Illustration. After graduation, Helane enjoyed a successful career as an illustrator working with companies such as Disney, Mattel and Warner Brothers.
Her uncanny ability to turn paint and canvas into emotion, movement and perspective comes from her artistic lineage, traceable to Leonardo da Vinci via master/apprentice relationships. She has shared her lineage and inspired other artists by teaching anatomy figure drawing at the California Art Institute.
At the age of 14, Helane began selling her paintings, and her work soon adorned the walls of local banks and several neighborhood businesses. During her career as an illustrator and art director, Helane worked on over 100 record album covers, including Frank Sinatra - Radio Years and NWA's Straight Outta Compton, named one of the 25 best album covers of all time by Digital Arts Magazine. Helane has earned six RIAA Gold and Platinum Albums, a Hollywood Reporter Key Art Award for ad design for the film Dumb and Dumber, and numerous other accolades over her distinguished career.
Helane received the rare honor of having her work proudly displayed in the Smithsonian Institution as part of its Priority Records "The California Raisins" exhibit, now part of the museum's permanent collection. She has also been commissioned to draw many celebrity likenesses; her pictures of Charlie Sheen and Oprah Winfrey each received first-round approvals on the spot from Charlie and Oprah themselves.
Helane is now focused on fine art, using her talent and knowledge of light, color, illustration and design to create beautiful waterscapes, landscapes and more.

Tim Horton
During the day, Tim is a Social Worker- Child Abuse Investigator. There he sees and takes photos of the ugliness society has to offer. He also teaches Forensic Photography basics to the new Social Workers.
Off duty however, he cleanses his soul by soaking up the beauty around him. Based in Malibu, Tim has been smitten with the photographer’s curse; seeing the world through a lens. He can no longer walk down the street without noticing a colorful rusty hinge, a weathered window fame, or the way the sun shines through a leaf… or the shadow that same leaf casts on the wall. But his first photography loves are the seascapes and sunsets of Malibu, as well as the surprising abundant nature in the Malibu Lagoon.

Pamela LeGrand
Water is her calling and an oil brush is never far from her reach. The visceral impact of the creatures and seaweed washed up in her canvas, transports you to the ocean’s paths.
The creative process begins with collecting materials from her long walks on the beaches. She artfully places them together so that the onlooker has a visual story that is pleasing to the eye and evokes the essence of sea life and nature. After taking several pictures for reference she is ready to begin her inspirational paintings.
Martha Meade

Derek Martin Schimming
Derek is an abstract expressionist and his art is influenced by his father's works from the 60's with mid-century modern vibe. Growing up with a father who was an architect/artist and art collector and a mother who owned an art gallery and helped cultivate new artists, Derek was exposed to a variety of arts and styles and from a young age showed a great appreciation and his own artistic style. Without formal training Derek expresses himself via strong emotions and life events, conveying from his mind's eye to the canvas. Working primarily with oils and acrylics his non-traditional style produces unique and vivid works with multiple details and depth which draws in the viewer and allows them to discover different nuances.
Suparna Sain
Suparna Sain is a contemporary artist and best known for her figurative paintings with an aesthetic appeal that portray a spirit of feminism and romanticism. She has been highly inspired by the works of Robert Hagan and Cécile Desserle. Suparna was born in Chandigarh, India.

She would draw portraits of her friends and teachers alike, taking inspiration from and materializing her surroundings in the pages before her.
