"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.

< Back Jonathan Crow JAN 10 - MAY 3 Cul-de-sac Born 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. About the Artist: 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.

Eye/Hand Harry Clewans AUG 29 - JAN 3 Now on View in the Mathias Gallery Plan Your Visit < Back Marquee: Photographer's Studio After Atget , 2024, woodblock prints on kozo paper on wood panel Overview I’ve always been drawn to things that are in a state of disrepair or decay, things one might find in a gutter or washed up on a beach––a broken light bulb, a battered plastic toy, a dried piece of kelp. For me, such objects reveal the effects of time and use, and offer insight into how they work and how they were formed or put together. I’ve been making woodcuts of found objects like these for thirty years and have built up an extensive library of images from which I make prints that I cut up and arrange to create larger and more complex compositions. Like mosaics or jigsaw puzzles these larger works are typically comprised of hundreds of individuals pieces that I fit together to form a picture, which I then adhere to a wood substrate. For every woodcut I’ve made I have a print pinned to a wall in my studio. I think of this wall as a kind of periodic table, and each woodcut as an element that I can use to create a picture. I may use a woodcut of a seedpod to describe the skin of an octopus or the surface of a tree trunk, a woodcut of a dried-up pear to articulate the ground around an old well or the wings of a butterfly. Just as everything in our physical environment is composed of the same matter, my large pieces are composed of the same collection of woodcut images. This approach, I hope, communicates the idea that all things by virtue of their makeup are connected, that all things participate in a cycle of composition and decomposition in which the old, the broken down and the disposed of becomes material for the new.

Across all mediums, my work explores identity, adaptation, memory, and the ways we continually negotiate who we are as we move through life. Having immigrated from Belgium to California in 1998, I became interested in how identity is continually negotiated between personal history and social context. I realized that adapting to a new situation with intention asks us to consider what stays, what can be let go of, and what new choices become available in response to changing circumstances. The three videos presented in this exhibition approach these questions from different perspectives. Through image, sound, and movement, they explore what happens when life changes course. What remains? What evolves? And how do we stay connected to who we are while allowing new possibilities to emerge? Although these works were created during a period when my practice expanded beyond painting into video and photography, they reveal many of the ideas that continue to shape my work today. Whether through video, photographic traces, or abstraction, I am interested in creating spaces where multiple interpretations - and new possibilities - can coexist and where uncertainty opens the door to curiosity. At its core, this exhibition reflects a belief that life itself is a creative act. That identity is not fixed. That meaning is not singular. And that we often have far more freedom, possibility, and authorship in shaping our own lives than we realize. The thread connecting it all remains the same: “re-imagine what else is possible”™ - futility in three acts - video with sound, total playtime: 22min 53sec visuals by Sieglinde Van Damme music/sound by Cole Ingraham & Sieglinde Van Damme On view August 29, 2026 - October 7, 2026 v o i d video with sound, total playtime: 9min 53sec visuals by Sieglinde Van Damme soundtrack: “Chaos Geometry” composed by Cole Ingraham, adapted by Cole and Sieglinde On view October 8, 2026 - November 18, 2026 Things change and then nothing happens video with sound, total playtime: 5min 40sec visuals by Sieglinde Van Damme soundtrack composed by by Cole Ingraham On view November 19, 2026 - January 10, 2027 For more information regarding each video listed above, please visit this link.

< Back Qiuwen Li AUG 30 - JAN 11 Echoes in Color Born in China, Qiuwen Li moved to the United States to pursue her education in Design, earning a BFA in Graphic Design from St. Cloud State University and a MFA in Visual Studies with a concentration in Graphic Design from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Now working as an Assistant Professor of Graphic Design at Santa Clara University, Li’s teaching and research focuses on the integration of typography, data visualization, and graphic design. Incorporating her knowledge and expertise into her art, Qiuwen Li seeks to delineate, deconstruct, and reconstruct the assumptions of multilingual communication and reframe them as more contingent on idiosyncratic understandings. About the Artist: In my designs, graphic elements (shapes, colors, forms, and type) are constructed, deconstructed, and then reconstructed to create a richer experience and extend their meaning. As a designer, I understand the need for legibility, but I am more concerned with communicating something more visceral, expressive, and imaginative. My work engages viewers in a way that evokes playing games and figuring out puzzles; they simply can’t get enough of it, and that’s a good thing, because that’s the key to engagement. Previous Next
