Face Plant(er)
David Keeps
Ceramic, 6" x 5"
$60 (SOLD)
My work in ceramics ranges from figurative sculptural pieces to figurative functional objects, with an emphasis on rendering faces with color and texture. Regardless of whether the pieces serve as useful vessels or purely decorative, they convey a mood that is light-hearted and often, frankly, kinda goofy. My practice has been quite influenced by my work as a volunteer instructor at LA Goal, where I have discovered the joy of pure creativity.

Dancing fairies
Francisca Vergara
Mixed media, 20” x 24”
$1,500
I enjoy abstract artwork that is energetic and experimental. Art that explores the use of color using different textures and styles. I love collage and when it is used interchangeably. In a rhythmic pattern. Where the layers and texture used in paintings express the everyday life .. that break free from the constraints of a pre-existing identity or structure in favor of an open, less defined image... where gesture, spontaneity, and emotional intensity take priority over fixed form.
White Flowers

A person is born, goes through a multitude of changes before she arrives at her essence. Or so says philosopher Jean Paul Sartre. It’s the same with this art piece.

Soul
Olivia de Recat
Gouache on Paper, 9”x12”

Prehistoric Unicorn
Annie Leffe
Acrylic paint on canvas, 16.25” x 13”
$225
Combining mythology and natural history together, I created a theoretical prehistoric ancestor of unicorns. Inspired by my trips to museums of natural history, I imagined that this is how unicorns started out; a single eohippus (ancestral horse, 4-toed in the front and 3-toed in the back) branched off from the horse family and became the first unicorn by growing a horn on its forehead and discovering magic. This creature evolved into the beloved unicorn admired today.

ON THE ROCKS
Jake Williams
Photo Collage, 16” x 24”
$350
I’m inspired by the places I move through, the people I encounter, and the details most people overlook. My work captures everyday life from a personal angle: streets, hotels, restaurants, sidewalks, signs, shadows, and moments that carry meaning because I lived them. Creating helps keep my mind clear and my spirit engaged. Each collage is a way of documenting my world, rebuilding memory, and finding beauty one frame at a time.

A Brief History of Dogbane Or Yaang 'na,
Place of the Poison Oak
Jeffrey Hansen
Mixed Media on Paper, 14 ½” x 20 ½”
$299
Using ink, colored pencil, and graphite, I draw from an array of indigenous and colonial sources such as The Chumash Indian Museum and Los Cerritos Spanish Mission. Inspired by botanical drawings, manuscripts, fiber arts, and tribal tattooing, the imagery explores my own hybrid-religion, mixed-race experience. Slow-time of wildcraft, naturalism, and ancestral knowledge are key counterpoints to a fast paced, overwhelmingly digital world.

$300
This piece is called " A galactic shore" a oil painting piece I've worked on since my second year of college in 2018. This piece is to represent the memory of the time that I love going to a beach and that imagine myself in an planet where the rocks can be planet crystals and that the flowers and ocean can be more colorful and radiant in which complements the Milky Way sky. This theme is more like finding peace away from our current state being, because when I look at this peace there is hope from a world that's complicated.
