We first noticed the work of artist and illustrator Jon Klassen while perusing the newly released book We Are The Friction, which features illustrations and stories by twelve sets of artists and autho...
They say that getting there is half the fun of a trip, so for our last day of Escapes month we think these paintings by Anna Ura are quite fitting. Entitled, Before, the series is based on photos and ...
There are many aspects of art that move us, but we find that use of color is one of the first things we really respond to when looking at a piece. It goes as no surprise then that we are so taken with...
We're total suckers for anthropomorphic anything, so it's no surprise that these expressive chairs from P-Arch by Bora Cakilkaya, made our morning. A chair that appears to grimace or smile as you si...
When we posted on the beauty of kitchen utensils during kitchen and bath month, two readers tipped us off to the work of photographer Jan Groover. Her work is primarily still lifes of the everyday a...
There are some skills that we only dream of posessing. The ability to sit still long enough to quilt is one of them. These landscape quilts by artist Leah Evans, require much more than the the abil...
We love Heather Amuny-Dey's prints for their sweet and bold geometry, and the bird motifs nestled, almost hidden, in many of her pieces. But Heather's artwork is not limited to screen prints; her c...
Flip, woodcut, 2002 Little Rock, Ark.-born San Francisco printmaker Jill Storthz is one of our favorite local gems. There's a quiet sophistication about her deft abstract woodcuts, which harken to bot...
Travel by Train There's a simplicity, a quiet watchfulness, in Jen Zahigian's photos that we find really appealing. The Oakland-based photographer captures the ordinary, but in a nostalgic way. Her ...
We can't remember the path we took to wind up at Susie MacMurray's art, but it most certainly involved the creative use of unusual materials. Can you tell what common party paraphernalia she used to c...
We've long been fans of local artist, Richard Bassett. His recent work has focused on icons of Americana, referencing familiar and nostalgic American culture. While Bassett's newest work continues o...
Maditi's photographs have the enviable quality of being both stimulating and deeply calming at the same time. That's a winning combo for photographic art, especially since we tend to prefer to frame...
The work of Sarajo Frieden is inspired by a host of disparate elements, (Japanese ukiyo-e, Hungarian embroidery, and Shaker trance drawings, to name a few) which come together to create a joyful, colo...
"I found it when I was looking for something else"We ate dinner at Bar Tartine last night, and while the food was lovely and the company superb, our attention was focused squarely on the walls. Or, mo...
"At the Gates" 11’x12’ Hand painting and screenprinting with MX dye and devore on azeta-poly cotton If you've been lucky enough to see Emily Nachison's work in person then you know just how stunn...
We've been huge fans of Aquarabbit (aka, Dana Robson) for years now. In a world full of chaos and sensory overload, her mixed media pieces (incorporating vintage book pages, maps, gocco, hand-stitchi...
When we first wrote about Sonoma-based painter Deborah Cushman, we didn't know that she'd worked as a textile designer in New York, or that she studied under Elmer Bischoff and Joan Brown (of the Bay ...

Meet Maria Forde. We first fell in love with her drawings when we saw her actors that i think are good button series at our local video store. Later we were won over by her series: a strange 31 yea...
A picture on a shelf in this post from Decor8 immediately captured our hearts. It turns out to be by Angie Lewin, a UK-based printmaker whose work includes lithography, silkscreen, etching, lino an...
This Portland artist knows our weakness: Affordable original paintings that also speak to our love of shoes. Lucia Johnson's "Ice Lady In Her Red Hot Shoes" shown above is painted on a v...
Sure, there are plenty of folks out there making vinyl adhesives these days. But those by San Francisco-based Luke Feldman are limited-edition, signed works of art. In addition to the decals, his co...
Wow. Since it's Adornment month at AT, we think it's the perfect time to call your attention to Elsita's Etsy shop. We're so impressed with the California artist's paper sculptures like the bi...
We first came across San Francisco artist Kate Durkin's work at Rose and Radish's Urban exhibit a few months ago. We couldn't help staring at her wall mural a riff on graffiti that had so much...
