Mike DeRyckere
Mike DeRyckere’s art is a movement from the primal to the divine, from the material to the mystical, looking for ways to eliminate the duality that keeps us from a sense of wholeness in our daily life. These paintings were born out of a combination of sensual and organic shapes fused with the geometry of the mandala, which is found throughout nature and many aspects of spirituality.
DeRyckere uses a mix of resins and pigments, utilizing heat and oxidation.

Sarah Roberson
My art is an expression of the emotions you feel in life that guide you and teach you the greatest lessons about love, fear, heartbreak, and happiness. I learned to go into these feelings and explore the beauty of it. I found a way through my paintings to express just that. I hope through my art to reach out to those who can feel some comfort in my art and in my story and know that they too can find the beauty in negative experiences, thoughts and feelings.
I hope my art brings peace to all those that view it and encourages you to make your pain into something beautiful.

Ambra Tesori
I am a contemporary abstract artist, I was born and raised in Rome, Italy, but now I reside between Carlsbad, California, and Rome.
My extensive travels and living in places like Africa, Alaska, England, France, Spain, and United States among others, have helped me to resonate mental images and dreams that deeply influence my work and in how I apply different venues on canvas, from the mixtures of colors, to depth of layers and textures to movement.
