Warburton Gallery EXHIBITION Spirit in Bloom: May Shei's Ink and Watercolor Worlds May Shei DATES: SEPT 9 - DEC 30 YEAR: 2023 Previously on view in the Warburton Gallery < Back OVERVIEW ADDITIONAL INFORMATION !

If that doesn’t work, contact us. “Take time today to look unto the hill, to walk in ways where quiet waters flow; to see the beauty that all nature fills... take time today just to be still and know.” - Take Time , by David Ogletree Although my Hakka grandparents and dad and my Taiwanese mom never read this poem, I learned many of the same principles from them when I was a child. I was very lucky to be raised in the town of Meinong, where the Hakka culture was and is alive and well, and to be raised in our old family home near a National Park. As a result, I grew up immersed in very traditional culture and beautiful nature scenery. "For a deep and true appreciation of art one must educate the eye.” - Helen Keller I believe in painting people you love so much, painting antiques from grandparents, dad and mom, and lovely kids' gifts. The process is a joyful ceremony, painting how I feel and what I care about. "Take one bright star to guide your path.” - Take A Bright Star , by Georgia B. Adams I am so grateful for the many bright stars in my life in art, they helped me a lot, and allowed me to stay strong on the windy path. “Keep a green bough in your heart, and the singing bird will come.” - Chinese Proverb I believe all kinds of beautiful artworks are a universal language. Thanks to my family fully supporting me, I learned watercolor, calligraphy, ink, and Chinese paintings. An artist is similar to a gardener, because without hard work, there are no beautiful flowers, butterflies, or birds. “Beauty seen is never lost.” - John Greenleaf Whittier Most of the time it is true, if we can put the painting in the document, we can frame it and enjoy it year by year. My solo show paintings are a sketch book of my path - either pure, transparent, or ink and watercolor, or opaque mixed media, I tried every possibility for my artwork, to try and find the richness of values, texture and the tone, no matter if they are black and white or color. My family and I would like to thank the Triton Museum of Art for this solo show, which is a golden opportunity and every artist's dream come true, and we appreciate that.

Warburton Gallery EXHIBITION A Celebration of Paintings Diane Brandenburg DATES: MAY 13 - JUN 18 YEAR: 2023 Previously on view in the Warburton Gallery < Back OVERVIEW ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ! Widget Didn’t Load Check your internet and refresh this page. If that doesn’t work, contact us. "Art is one of the languages from our souls" (author unknown) The above statement resonates between my heart and my brain as I pick up a brush, dip it into water and then my palette and then onto the paper or canvas before me. Inspirational music flows in the background, awakening my senses and then I begin... So much of my art comes from past experiences. When I was younger, I climbed most of the High Sierra Peaks in Yosemite. As a result, a lifelong interest and passion was developed, to study the formations and paint the summits of many of the mountain ranges on our planet. We have a home near the ocean. So again, I am able to study the changing moods of the ocean and the cliffs that provide the boundaries for the waves to reach their destinations and dissipate. Flowers are another subject I love to study. Their shapes and sizes, their breathtaking beauty and what about the colors and shadings of their petals, that nature has created? Simply amazing! Young children, especially my grand-babies, are so fresh and innocent, when you catch them in their curious poses. Abstract art fascinates me. I love to explore colors and shapes and some of my outcomes have been exciting. However, there have also been disasters, which I accept as a learning process. In summation, I have been fortunate to study abroad and here in the United States with acknowledged and prize-winning artists: Tom Nichols, Robbie Laird, Jane Hofstetter, Dales Laitinen, Stephen Quiller and Gerald Brommer, to name a few. They encouraged and supported me through all my amateurish struggles, to become what I wanted to be. Diane Miriam Brandenburg "Perfection is an enemy to creativity..." D.M.B.

JAN 10 - MAY 3Born in Ohio in 1971, Jonathan Crow received his MFA in Filmmaking from the California Institute of the Arts in 2003. Before turning to painting, he spent many years working in the film industry—a background that continues to shape the cinematic atmosphere of his work. In 2013, following a career shift, Crow returned to his early love of drawing. His series Veeptopus—portraits of U.S. Vice Presidents with octopuses on their heads—became an online sensation and was featured in BuzzFeed, The Huffington Post, and The New York Times. Since 2018, Crow has focused primarily on oil painting, developing a body of work that explores the uncanny beauty and quiet tensions of Southern California suburbia. His paintings—at once humorous, unsettling, and deeply observed—draw inspiration from Edward Hopper, Richard Diebenkorn, and the films of David Lynch. Crow’s work has been exhibited throughout the Bay Area and beyond, including Arc Gallery (San Francisco), the New Museum Los Gatos, Marin MOCA, TAG Gallery (Los Angeles), and the de Young Museum. Crow is currently based in Santa Clara, California. Cul-de-Sac Jonathan Crow JAN 10 - MAY 3 Now on View in the Cowell Room Gallery Plan Your Visit < Back Marquee: Woman and Five Cars, 2025, oil on canvas Overview When I was a child in the 1970s, my parents drove me from our home in rural Ohio to visit my grandparents in suburban California. I was struck by the mountains, the palm trees, the dusty colors of the hills—and especially the light. Those brief visits left a lasting impression, like an image burned onto film. Nearly fifty years later, I paint those same Californian suburbs. Working in oil, I use their tidy streets and manicured yards as a stage to explore form, color, and the tension between the familiar and the strange. My background in film shapes how I compose each scene—like a still from a forgotten movie—charged with a quiet sense of story. Through these ordinary landscapes, I create images that are at once amusing and unsettling, inviting reflection on race, gender, and what it means to live in this complicated country called America.
