Dimensions: 6' x 15' "Ocean's Call" depicts a life-size newborn baby humpback whale painted with Webber's signature Eastern - Western fusion technique. The original oil painting is comprised of dozens of layers of pure powdered earth pigments including lapis, cobalt, mica, Egyptian Indigo, gold, pearl and marble dust. The final result is a painting that is fully light-interactive and translucent, alive and responding throughout the day as the natural light changes across the surface. "Ocean's Call" took more than a year to complete and included the artist traveling to the South Pacific to swim with the humpback whales and their babies as part of her research. The painting was conceived and created by the artist to help raise awareness and inspire action towards healing the planet's oceans. About Kimberly Webber: Kimberly Webber’s paintings are a fusion of Eastern and Western techniques, philosophy and spirituality. Webber works with traditional Chinese organic abstraction markings and was taught classic heavy color Chinese painting from the lineage of calligraphic master painter Lin Chein Shih. Webber’s studies also include Nihonga style painting which migrated from China to Japan in the 7th century AD along with Buddhism. Webber combines the Asian techniques with her classical oil painting training which included studies in Florence, Italy, New York City and a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from Ohio Wesleyan University. Webber’s multi-dimensional paintings are created from traditional media including vine charcoal, pure powdered mineral pigments, Asian calligraphy ink, handmade oil formulas and rice paper. She has been painting since early childhood and throughout her life. Webber’s work has shown in solo exhibitions in New York City, California, Texas, Minnesota, Ohio, North Carolina, Florida, Europe and the Middle East. The work is currently represented by ACA Galleries in New York City, Exposures International Gallery, Sedona, Arizona and Untitled Fine Art in Taos, New Mexico. The quality of light and the open sky in New Mexico are a key source of inspiration for Webber’s work as is the sacred land. The work revolves around the liminal space of dreams, deep memory and the archetypes. Each painting is designed to uplift, activate and empower the viewer, humanity and the planet.

Dimensions: 50" x 50" About Runcie Tatnall: Tatnall's painterly realism lends its wry, sensitive eye to all kinds of subjects, from a world-weary bulldog to a shadowy boxer, to urban erosion, and then the seductive call of the sea. His paintings pull the viewers into a world evoking such painters as Hopper, the Ash Can school, and John Singer Sargent. Tatnall has an excellent ability to identify with his subjects and capture through efficient, yet precise gestures a strangeness of moment, a curious awkwardness, a dark humor that emanates through Americana. His pictures invite; they don't discourage. Powerful composition and deft rendering allow viewers to drift in and out of the emotions and landscapes of the paintings, inviting viewers to create narratives for themselves. Tatnall trained in painting and illustration at the University of Delaware, the Art Students League in New York City, and received his MFA in painting from the University of Miami. He has been exhibiting nationally since 1995 including New York City, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Texas, and Miami. Tatnall recenty returned to Miami after six years as a fine art professor and head of the drawing area at Stephen F. Austin State University in Texas.

This piece took about 40 hours to complete. About Whitney Anderson: “My art is somewhere between reality and escape, fantasy, mystery and fun. I live for these things” After graduating college, entering the real-world art became Anderson’s center focus. She never had any lessons but growing up she gained a vivid imagination which was fostered from long boring hours in the classroom and commercial fishing in no-mans-land Alaska with her family. She has also traveled to many countries—45 so far—which has expanded her understanding of history, people and culture. She made sense of her life and the world through art.

Margaret Juul, St. Petersburg, FL. ‘Impact’- Original Mixed Medium; Acrylic and Ink on canvas. Dimensions: 30" x 60” Impact of a Wave nurtures the soul holds energy shapes the world gives life takes life Artist Statement: Bridging Visual Art and Education, my goal is to have work created to promote an understanding of the challenges we face in terms of Climate Change. Although all aspects are important, I am focusing on Fresh Water and Living Oceans. Without fresh water available to all sentient beings, life on Earth will not be sustainable. We are on the verge of a major turning point in human history… In my way, I would hope that someone will look at my abstract water paintings, and be moved or inspired. Moved to respect the environment and our precious natural resources. Inspired to think creatively, outside the box. Although my work is commercially popular, the underlying theme is what is most important. Value $5,400.00 Generously donated by Margaret Juul

The “Beautiful World” collection draws on the concept of balance and harmony. In this piece, a calming stability is found in the never-ceasing movement of the ocean. The affinity between moon and sea is found in the constant ebb and flow of the tide, and those that swim in between the two can be found surging through life, leaping over the legendary dragon gate to grow and evolve. “Across the Nine Heavens we leap” shows the many depths of harmony—found in the balance of its design as well as an existential balance of the subjects alluded to here. The Collection: Bathed in an Auspicious Glow, a Full Moon Rendezvous. Heaven and Earth in Harmony. Across the Nine Heavens We Leap The constant moon - past, present, forevermore. Encapsulated in light, one leap takes you across Dragon Gate. 九天一躍 月之恆 亙古今世來生 韜其韶光 待之 一躍龍門 Design Ref.

Inspired by the clear, majestic waters of the Maldives, this original seascape was created using acrylic paint and palm fronds. Highly textured and incredibly dimensional, this piece feels alive. It is sized at 24" x 48" and is framed in a flat lacquer white floater frame. About Kelly Hanna: Inspired by nature’s gifts… Kelly Hanna is a mixed-media artist who splits her time between Los Angeles and Palm Springs. Her desire to create vibrant, dimensional seascapes using nature's textures developed over seventeen years of art direction and graphic design.
