Nagui Achamallah Born in Alexandria, Egypt, Achamallah pursued the arts alongside an education in medicine.

"While navigating the rigors of medical school, I refined my craft through the independent fine art study program at the University of Alexandria Atelier. This dual path culminated in my early solo exhibitions at the University Physician’s Club (1973) and the French Cultural Center in Alexandria (1975).
Following my move to the United States in the 1980s, I completed my psychiatric training at the University of California. My decades of practice as a psychiatrist in the Bay Area profoundly influenced my perspective as a painter, offering me a deep, clinical, and empathetic understanding of the human condition." 

Reflections and Confessions showcases stylized figurative works - spirited subjects embellished in ornate, patterned garments, where shape and motif (an echo of Gustav Klimt) are as expressive as body language. "My style remains rooted in Middle Eastern and South Mediterranean influences, often focusing on figures navigating the complexities of daily life. These subjects are captured as "captives of time" - exploring the tension between instinct and the search for existential meaning."Jackie Goldberg  Jackie Goldberg is an artist and designer from Los Angeles. She studied with Joe Blaustein at UCLA, as well as Andrew Forge, Richard Lytle, John Hull, and Natalie Charkow at Yale.

The Wash "The LA River starts in the West Valley, winding 51 miles til it meets the Pacific. I grew up not far from where Arroyo Calabasas meets Bell Creek and the river begins. Its source is more or less mine. 

Its broad concrete container — shores, sheer sides, bridges — make a clean riverbed. Fitting, perfectly LA.  The Wash is what we used to call it. 

It might not look like much to someone seeking bucolic scenes. But I’ve always loved the form and color of these planes in LA light. The Wash is a place where things pass through and nothing is meant to stay. It’s where the clearing occurs. In this body of work, I chose to let things move through me, and live in the sun."

Victoria Loschuk grew up in Western Canada, a formative experience that fostered her connection to the natural environment. She earned an M.F.A. from York University in Toronto and has exhibited in venues in the U.S. and Canada, most recently at Realart Gallery in Agoura Hills and the Sturt Haaga Gallery at Descanso Gardens. She has been awarded Artist Residencies at the Banff Center and the Bemis Artist Colony, Omaha, Nebraska. She has lived most of her life In Los Angeles where she has maintained her art practice, created artist studio spaces and has taught Art/Design in the Los Angeles Community College system. 

Verdant Raptures "Victoria’s paintings and drawings explore the verdant vitality of the Southern California natural environment. Like historical landscape painters she is drawn to the dialogue between art and nature. Unlike traditional horizontal landscapes, other formats are used: for instance, vertical shapes that invite the viewer to look up or beyond, and circular shapes that reference the shape of earth itself. She has found her “views of nature” at times in the most unlikely places – freeway on and off ramps, and along the edges of canyon roads. The cropped compositions describe a more poetic interpretation of the
subject and space – sometimes ethereal and sometimes more dramatic."

Kathy Park California-based Korean-American painter Kathy Park explores the fundamental struggles of humankind through a surreal, symbol-rich aesthetic.

Quiet Turbulence - I Want to Stay - The image we carry of ourselves is rarely the same as the one reflected back at us. Somewhere between what we believe we are and how others may see us, uncertainty grows. In that space, relationships are formed—fragile, hopeful, and often uneasy. We hesitate, question, and sometimes fear the vulnerability that connection requires. This body of work explores the quiet turbulence of the mind as it moves through doubt, longing, and the desire to build genuine and wholesome relationships.
