Artist Statement: This photo is a multi step process of sanding and pre-coating Dibond aluminum panels and then transferring an imaged film emulsion to the wet panel.

Flowers and Floorboards
Ian Price
$1,800.00


Dimensions: 30 x 30 x 1.5
Artist Statement: Flowers and floorboards: bringing the outside in. This work is about considering the outdoors as part of the indoors, making the natural world part of the constructed environment is a simple as gathering flowers from the garden. The work asks us to reflect on the transience of natural color, as compared with the chemical stains and treatments we apply to our homes.

Bradain Bello
$1,400.00


Dimensions: 22 x 30 x 1
Art Framed dimensions (H" x W"): 24" x 32"
Artist Statement: Against a deeply cloudy sky, this red-tailed hawk is perched atop a vineyard fan. Used primarily for Californian citrus trees in the 1920s, frost fans were adopted by vineyards as a multifaceted replacement for smudge pots. Having been part of vineyards’ cultivated landscapes for around a century now, and grown up around them, these large pieces of equipment feel uniquely familiar.
Dowry #31
Dowry #31
Federica Armstrong
$700.00


Dimensions: 22 x 26
Art Framed dimensions (H" x W"): Unframed but present on hanger: 30"x26
Artist Statement: In the project The Dowry I explore family connections, memory and belonging, by transferring images of my family photo archive to vintage textiles using the cyanotype process. Through this alchemy, the fabrics that were once part of daily family life acquire new meaning. By blending the materiality of the fabric with the ephemeral nature of memory, The Dowry becomes a cathartic process of mourning, remembrance, and consolation.

Artist Statement: The rooms we occupy and live in become a reflection of who we are, almost from the moment we take possession of them. In the living room of an independent film director, the mementos and art, prints, photographs, and sketches that he has collected in his lifetime overwhelm the books in his bookcase, providing a glimpse into his soul.

Art Framed dimensions (H" x W"): 24"x 20"
Artist Statement: In the quiet mountain town of Chefchaouen, Morocco, I wandered through a sea of quaint shops and homes—painted in shades of lapis, azure, and chalky white.

The Bird House
Howard Rubin
$500.00


Dimensions: 16 x 11.25
Art Framed dimensions (H" x W"): 21" x 17"
Artist Statement: For me home can represent a physical place, connoting safety and security as well as a psychical space in which I can find solace in beauty and connection with loved ones. It can also be imbued with longing for the past and suffused with an awareness of the passage of time.
Bay Quail
Bay Quail
Bradain Bello
$1,400.00


Dimensions: 30 x 22 x 1
Art Framed dimensions (H" x W"): 32" x 24"
Artist Statement: The state bird, the California Quail, is known for its ability to thrive in a range of conditions, from urban to rural landscapes. Crab pots are not often seen outside coastal communities, but their above-ground storage is emblematic of conservation efforts due to shortened seasons; it remains a microcosm of human imposition on natural habitats (homes) for our native species, such as the quail.
Almost Home
Almost Home
William R. Glass
$550.00


Dimensions: 14 x 11
Art Framed dimensions (H" x W"): 20" x 16"
Artist Statement: I observe the world with a photographer’s eye and seek compositions that might become the basis for paintings. I photograph and paint the ordinary world around us - you can find commentary in the work if you wish. I am less concerned that the observer seeks meaning in the work than that one might imagine oneself in that space.
The Distance of Home
The Distance of Home
MARSHA GUGGENHEIM
$450.00


Dimensions: 18 x 22 x 11
Art Framed dimensions (H" x W"): 18" x 22"
Artist Statement: "The Distance of Home:" Seen through rain-streaked glass, home becomes softened, distant, and uncertain. The image resists clarity, holding space between recognition and obscurity. Home is not fully grasped, but felt—shaped by memory, time, and separation. What remains is an impression, where distance does not diminish connection, but deepens it.
