Joyful Joyce Lieberman

A Good Folly

Joyce Lieberman
Acrylic on Paper

More than twenty-five new pieces from Joyce Lieberman! Her paintings can only be described as "joyful." Their exhuberance of life is conveyed through her vibrant colors, strong patterns, and disproportionate elements. Her flowers and vases look as if they're dancing to some fabulous music playing within the painting. Not surprisingly, Joyce calls these her "UNStill Life" series. A Good Folly is a stunning example of her contemporary floral acrylics. The sense of movement she has captured within the background draws your eye toward the blue vase in the center of the painting, which then allows you to absorb the rest of the scene. Joyce's abstracted backgrounds leave her paintings open to interpretation.

Golden Tulips

Joyce Lieberman
Acrylic on Canvas

Joyce is just as expressive on canvas as she is on paper. She has a very distinct artistic voice, whether she is painting abstracts or representational images. Golden Tulips has a completely different feel from A Good Folly, but is just as joyful. Her tulips seem to glow and light up the rest of the canvas. Characteristic of Joyce, the fruits and bowl and vase have a movement all their own, again as if swaying to some inner music created by paintbrush.

Chemers Gallery Artists at Summer Arts Festivals

It's time to kick off southern California's annual summer arts festivals! This year Chemers Gallery is proud to have five of our artists showing in Art-A-Fair, The Festival of Arts, and The Sawdust Festival in Laguna Beach. Below is a quick look at participating artists Mary Aslin, Yachiyo Beck, Sandy Clark, Gerald Schwartz, and Lilia Venier.

Mary Aslin

Peonies in all Their Glory

Mary Aslin
Pastel

Pastel artist Mary Aslin specializes in painting from life, whether it is still life, human figure, or plein air, and prefers to interpret the subject in real time. Her award winning pastels have been shown all over the southland, including Chemers Gallery. This year, Mary is participating in both Art-A-Fair and The Sawdust Festival. If you stop in at her booth, be sure to congratulate her on her recent third place award at the San Clemente Plein Air Quick Draw!

Yachiyo Beck

A Walk in the Afternoon II

Yachiyo Beck
Watercolor

Yachiyo Beck has worked in a wide variety of mediums, including pencil, charcoal, pastels, and oils. She's currently focused on watercolors, and with them creates images that allow her viewers to escape from their every day lives. Her paintings are gentle and serene, and lead you right into their world, if only for a little while. Yachiyo is exhibiting at the Festival of Arts.

Sandy Clark

Still Life Illusion II

Sandy Clark
Watercolor on Yupo

Sandy Clark is intrigued by the use of various water media. Reinterpreting nature and the structural world around us by using non-traditional techniques, she finds adventure in each painting, with surprising and mysterious results. In addition working in a variety of media, she paints on yupo and other surfaces that add to the unpredictability and excitement of her work. Sandy will be at Art-A-Fair this year.

Gerald Schwartz

Last Call

Gerald Schwartz
Oil on Canvas

Gerald Schwartz is probably best recognized by his photo-realistic sky paintings. We couldn't count the number of times our customers have mistaken his beautiful oil painting on canvas for an enlarged color photograph! Gerald's sky paintings are seamless in their technique, and are stunning representations of amazing skies, clouds, and sunsets. His recent work incorporates retro design elements, which creates an overall nostalgic feel.

Lilia Venier

Leaf Bottle Multi-Color

Lilia Venier
Ceramic

Ceramicist Lilia Venier comes from a background in business studies. On a whim she signed up for art classes and discovered a great talent and enjoyment. She creates wonderfully tactile objects that cry out to be touched. Lilia uses a variety of techniques in her practice, such as raku, low firing, stoneware, and porcelain. Focusing on just one technique would be "boring" for Lilia! She has exhibited her work throughout the United States, including at the American Ceramics Society President's Show. She is exhibiting her beautiful ceramics at Art-A-Fair.

This is a great time to go out and support our local creative talents.
