I have a BA in fine art from UC Berkeley. Having just retired from careers as a Sign Language Interpreter and then a Preschool Teacher, I am now devoting all my time to painting.

Bio I’m Leonard St.John, originally from Chicago, Illinois. Born in 1943. My interest in art began at the Art Institute of Chicago and the Hyde Park Art Center. In 1966, I moved to Berkeley, California to paint and study History of Art. I painted a mural as an artist-in-Residence at UC Santa Barbara in 1971,…
For the past few years, my work has revolved around the human condition. An unromantic view that looks at vulnerability and distress. To me, we are all fragile and porous, soaking in the bad as well as the good. Life is a wonderful and hopeful thing, but also, often painful and unfair. We might be…
Terri Scheid began her career as a ceramic artist as a young girl in the backyard of her family’s southern Ohio home: she mined her own clay from the veins (of clay) found in the mud after heavy rainstorms, pinched some pots, and baked them on top of the shed in the hot summer sun.…

Space art meets pastoral landscapes and invites you to journey through the imagination. Inspired by dreams and nature, my work describes an outward manifestation of inner exploration, gravitating around the otherworldly.
In my work, I seek to capture the essence of a single moment. I like to provoke emotions, to compel my viewer to see the inner workings of their own consciousness and invite them to consider the emotions they find, within my work. My paintings reflect my desire to engage in an emotional exchange with…
My art has only one basic requirement: color. All of my works are abstract, and color is what unites them. I could categorize my paintings and murals into two different styles of abstract work: one hard edge and the other expressionism. I believe these two different processes allow me to be the dichotomous person that…
Artist Statement The ideas that I paint come from the agricultural landscape, particularly barns and farm like cabin architecture. I am drawn to the flat planes of landscape, exploring color and the study of my paintings over time. Richard Diebenkorn, Wayne Theibold, Hilary Pecis and Andrew Wyeth are among my strongest influences for my work.…
I find inspiration in the natural world. Through my camera, I aim to embrace chance and choice, celebrating spontaneity and being present in the moment. Images on display are a study of nature, where I strive to capture its beauty by isolating forms, patterns, and abstractions. I focus on light, texture, flora, and fauna, with…

Mark making is the soul freeing exercise in beginning a painting, as well as a way into a blank slate which can induce dread! I am on the 10,000 hour journey of establishing my own painting language, but with a steely determination and mostly joy on that path. Having had a career in the commercial…
