After spending years recovering from a severe infection, I now know precisely what I want out of life! Life is too short to not be appreciating all of the beauty and good fortune it holds! If you, like me, know what you want out of art, and if you know you are searching for unique pieces with thick, textured brush strokes of vibrant colors, please enjoy my paintings!

Yes, my paintings, although cheerful, do have deep meaning. I try to make that meaning revolve around celebrating life and healing changes.

My paintings deliver a positive burst of energy to you. The bold color and movement in my work is for those of you who are sensual. Have a tasty glass of wine while perusing my art. Why not just imagine yourself escaping into the joyful places I depict during your meals? Share my art with others! After all, my art is all relaxation and no angst.

After early experience with watercolors, I fell in love with the qualities of this medium – the vivid colors and the expression of fine detail.  I enjoy interpreting what I see thru color and imagination. I have recently completed a series of local scenes to capture the beauty of the Monterey Peninsula Coast.  In this series of trees and cottages, I have included elements both of the sunshine and the sea mist that defines the light of this region. I also enjoy painting portraits, landscapes, and Monterey Peninsula wildlife.

Kenji Tanner
Listing Name
Description

To me, painting is a deeply rooted soulful experience to be shared. I am a self taught artist and, although my journey has had many different turns, I have never forsaken my calling. I feel connected to my truth when designing my paintings and that good energy fulfills my life’s purpose.

My Japanese, Jamaican, and African American heritage gives me a wellspring of history to bring to the fore. My paintings are developed by using all types of tools that allow me to keep my childlike approach. I love painting, spraying, sponging, even finger painting acrylics and gels.

My art is inspired by encouraging words from artist Ernie Barnes who told me he too is self taught and to keep improving my techniques, study, and take a bold approach to my work. It also brings me great joy of teaching art to children through the Monterey Arts Council in Monterey, California.

Marni Grossman
Listing Name
Description

Drawn to aesthetics at a young age, Marni was compelled to pick up a camera and begin to document what she saw. Launching a career in the film and television industry in 1979, she amassed 25 years of experience, credits and a respected reputation. But in 2003 Grossman travelled to West Africa to photograph a group of drummers and, there, she turned her camera towards the extraordinary she found in ordinary life. Since then Marni has endeavored to become a student of what is elusive and beautiful in the real and the natural.

Listing Name
Description

Born in Oakland, California in 1949, I was fortunate to grow up in a wonderfully collaged city. Many cultures, views, languages, races, architectures and possiblities thrive in the expansive lights of the East Bay. My pieces are mindscapes reflecting a psycho-spiritual orientation toward life, laced with (sometimes heavy) doses of humor and irony. Themes of love and time dominate. My studio serves as a lab where things are put together from all the bits and pieces of life. Images that are all around us, waking and dreaming, go through this clearinghouse. With luck, a meaningful whole emerges.
