Lebadang is a Vietnamese artist living in France. What you can't see very well in these photos is that an important part of his work is using custom-sculpted paper, with designs raised, especially in the white areas you see here. Many of those images are of family groups. So, while these are multiple-original works, to call them "prints" suggests an image that doesn't do them justice. Lebadang also does paint-on-canvas works, sculptures, and rugs in the same 3-D style.

Jon Rife is a San Francisco artist. He's very interested
in textures, and I'm fascinated by the way he can represent
textures in a flat monoprint, most of which is lost on you in these
bad reproductions. (A monoprint is made by painting onto a smooth
surface, glass or metal, and then transferring the paint onto paper
in a press.) Rife's more recent works include both direct paint-to-canvas
and the integration of digital imagery with his painting.
The covers
of my Computer Science Logo Style books
are taken from three of his works.

Gerta Farber is a local artist, living in Oakland, who does mostly
watercolors on a range of subjects: landscapes, portraits, and
abstracts. Here we see a California mission church (the first original
artwork I ever bought!), a house, and some
semi-abstract trees.

David Voigt is an Australian artist whose work I find interesting
partly because of the way he depicts motion (the birds' flight, the
wind, the river). He mostly does
landscapes from nature. These are watercolors; he also does even
more dramatic acrylic paintings.

Anthony Holdsworth is a local artist, living in Oakland, who does very
realistic acrylic paintings. My favorites are his urban landscapes featuring
careful attention to the actual street surfaces, but he also loves to paint
the Italian countryside.

Sue Averell is a local Marin County artist who paints very dramatic
acrylic semi-realistic works. I love the freedom in her style, and the
bold, thick blocks of color.

He makes tabletop-sized fantasy buildings, boats, and things I'm not sure
about!
