Serena Mitnik-Miller

There’s an incredible sense of harmony and balance in Serena Mitnik-Miller’s work. You can almost feel the Californian breeze flowing through each piece. The natural environment of the coast and surrounding community influences each curve, arc and line that drifts around the paper. Each piece is made by hand with watercolour pigment on paper.

Along with her husband, she also owns The General Store which opened in 2010, stocking carefully curated artisan produced goods, with locations in both San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Edward Hopper's summer paintings

Edward Hopper is well known for his urban scenes depicting isolated figures in diners and hotel rooms which came to encapsulate modern American life in the mid-twentieth century. He and his wife Jo would escape the city and summer in South Truro on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, where they would take trips out to find new material to paint.

The paintings he produced in the New England region showed another side of his work. There really is fresh air in these paintings. And the sunlight is glorious.

"Maybe I am not very human. What I wanted to do was to paint sunlight on the side of a house."

- Edward Hopper

Contemporary abstract art by Eric Blum

Born in Fresno, California in 1956, Eric Blum studied at UCLA and St Martin's in London.

Working with the difficult medium of encaustic he creates multiple layers of resin, watercolour and silk, applied gradually, often at one layer a day. The result is a distorted image: ambiguous forms with an almost infinite depth giving a sense of a fleeting, unfocused, light or movement hitting your peripheral view.

He currently lives and works in New York City.
