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.

JAN 24 - APR 19My work is deeply shaped by experiences growing up in London in the 60’s, when fashion and music were exploding, where clothing became art, and design burst into the everyday. I have a simple aim - to create dynamic, vibrant works that jump on and off the wall. When faced with a blank canvas, I seek out materials that will inspire my internal dialogue. Though I may gather my media, plan a color scheme, and start with a thumbnail of a design, I most often end up following the way the materials balance as they hit the canvas. While earning a living in tech in Silicon Valley and raising two children, I took every community college art course available in my spare time, and sought out teaching artists and mentors to help hone my skills in drawing, painting, and seeing. Edge of Silence Jacqueline Boberg JAN 24 - APR 19 Now on View in the Rotunda Gallery Plan Your Visit < Back Marquee: Chatter , 2024, acrylic on canvas Overview With thirty years of exploration across watercolor, pastel, oil, and acrylic, I’ve continually sought new ways to express light. A decade in abstract mixed media reshaped my artistic vision, and my recent return to landscapes and still lifes merges contemporary experimentation with timeless observation. My landscapes are born from fleeting moments — a slant of light, a shift in color, a spark of inspiration that demands to be caught in the mind’s eye before it disappears. Working in acrylic allows me to chase that immediacy and not fuss around as the paint dries instantaneously. Each canvas becomes a dialogue between instinct and experimentation, between what I see and what I feel. In the studio, joy lives in discovery — the thrill of pushing paint, of finding new challenges in every composition, of not knowing exactly where a brushstroke will lead. I embrace the possibility of failure as part of the creative process. Like Silicon Valley’s mantra, I believe in failing big and failing often — because each “failure” reveals something unexpected, something truer. My goal is simple: to capture not just the landscape itself, but the energy of the moment that inspired it — alive, imperfect, and full of wonder. Until I move on to the next thing… About the Artist My work is deeply shaped by experiences growing up in London in the 60’s, when fashion and music were exploding, where clothing became art, and design burst into the everyday.

Seams Cynthia Ona Innis JAN 17 - APR 19 Now on View in the Permanent Collection Gallery Plan Your Visit < Back Marquee: Blue Slip , 2024, acrylic paint and ink on fabric and ribbon Overview My work begins with painting, then moves through disassembly and reconstruction—an ongoing exploration of connection and division. Where there is a seam, two or more things converge. These seams mark the joining of materials as well as the meeting of times, places and states of being. Moments such as sunrise and sunset, moonrise and nightfall fold into one another, revealing how change itself creates continuity. In a fractured world, the seam becomes both metaphor and method: a site where rupture and repair coexist. Seams explores the interplay of light, landscape and weather as a way to map perception and memory. The shifting glow of the sun, the stillness of the moon and the vastness of the night sky form a temporal and spatial framework for orientation and reflection. Informed by distinct weather patterns of coastal California, the marine layer, coastal fog and rays of light emerge as visual language that mirrors the mutable rhythms of the natural world. My approach to abstraction is rooted in a physical, process-driven practice. Pigments are poured directly onto fabric, or bleached to remove color, to create a dialogue between accumulating and editing, masking and unveiling, presence and absence. Materials such as cotton, canvas, nylon, and silver lamé hold equal weight to the pigments. Cut, reassembled and stitched, the surfaces echo tectonic movement and natural cycles of fragmentation and repair. Recent wall installations expand this practice through scale and suspension and the responsiveness of materials. Often beginning with recycled or discarded textiles, painted and sewn fabric panels are attached to wooden supports allowing them to hang freely and respond subtly to air and motion. In Fixing on a Horizon , multiple horizon lines reference sunrise and sunset as shifting points of equilibrium and orientation, while Blue Slip traverses gradients of blue, from pale to near-black that evoke twilight’s liminal expanse between clarity and obscurity. Across these works, stitching, knitting, layering, and suspension become meditations on connection and fracture—memory and material, permanence and impermanence. The resulting surfaces reflect the layered experiences that shape how we see and move through the natural world. About the Artist Cynthia Ona Innis is a visual artist based in Berkeley, California.

< Back Hana Lock SEP 14 - JAN 5 Anatomica Hana Lock is the Best of Show winner for the 2023 Salon at the Triton. Her work is an intriguing mix of bizarre and sublime, depicting in great detail our delicate anatomy alongside or combined with other wonderful creatures such as rabbits, frogs, mice, snakes, wolves, beautiful plants and flowers - our connection to the natural world. Her work displays our vulnerability and forces us to confront what is inevitable - that, along with all over living beings, we will all die and decompose. However, this fate is not portrayed as something to be feared, but rather embraced as part of the natural rhythm of life and death. This exhibition will include a selection of 2D works by the artist. Artist Statement: Anatomica is a collection of paintings and drawings that draw inspiration from my love of anatomy and fascination with the transience of life, the inevitability of death, and the mystery of what lies beyond. My work offers a holistic view of the body by highlighting the beauty of its internal structures without shying from the grotesque. Referencing visual and philosophical concepts from Buddhism and European medieval funerary art, my art often features anatomized bodies being strewn across the composition as their viscera intertwines with flora and fauna. In my practice, I primarily use ballpoint pen, watercolor, and acrylic to create intricate and precise line work and vibrant, flat colors reminiscent of Japanese woodblock prints and Art Nouveau. I strive for precision and detail, and I believe that in addressing the formal and conceptual qualities inherent in line, I am effectively capturing the delicate intricacies of the natural and imaginative world.
