Peter Hiller Art - July 2023

9/8/23 - The act of creating art has been a pleasure and significant part of my life since I was a child. By letting inspiration come naturally to me, I love the flow of ideas and approaches from one to the next and I am continually overjoyed when that 'magic' light bulb goes off.As a former teacher of grade school art for almost forty years, I have been surrounded by, and hopefully nurtured, the creativity of others. In 'retirement' there are few distractions from exploring a fountain of ideas as are presented here on Pixeum where I have previously showcased the creative efforts of artist, cartographer and author Jo Mora.The new work presented here is from three recent series, one leading to the next, each with a focus on nature and painted surfaces. The images are printed on archival paper and, whereas it all begins with a digital camera, the results are more, at least to me, like paintings evoking conversations.Thoughts, questions, and sales inquiries are welcome - 19philler52@gmail.com or 831-624-3284 (old school landline with an answering machine).Sincerely, Peter HillerKeyword: featuredartists

Megan Bigelow ~ Artwork & Photography

July 2024 ~ As an SF Bay Area artist specializing in painting, drawing, and photography, I'm excited that "Pixeum, The Digital Gallery" has published a collective of my art online. For me, inspiration is instinctive. I paint, sketch, shoot what stirs me. Graduating from UCLA with a BA in Design, my elective studies focused on fine arts, including B/W photography and oil painting under William Brice, son of "Funny Girl" Fannie Brice, a prominent UCLA professor, artist known for classic modernism and a beloved mentor.Following UCLA, I furthered my studies in illustration and typography at the California College of Arts & Crafts, now CCA, studying under Michael Patrick Cronan and Lucille Tenazas. I also pursued photography at the Harvey Milk Photo Center in San Francisco.My artistic ability and love of art/architecture are innate and deeply rooted in my family lineage. My maternal grandfather, Harry J. Devine, Sr, was one of Sacramento's most prominent architects during the 20th century. HJD's architectural work ran the gamut and included notable commercial buildings, churches, schools, plus renowned residential "Fabulous 40's" homes in East Sacramento.My paternal great-grandfather's family originated from Normandy, France, emigrating to Quebec in the 1600s. My grandfather, Leo Gagnon (later Leo Bigelow), passed his French bloodline onto my father and our family, which I attribute my inborn love of France, its language, culture and all things French to.Heartfelt thanks to my brother-in-law, Tom Paper, and his daughter, Sarah Rose, my niece, for asking to shoot my work and for their love, efforts, support in doing so.Keyword: featuredartists

Lily Shanahan Artwork Shot 2024-03-09

The artist Lily Shanahan stopped by our studio on March 9, 2024. We shot some of her art and had a chat. You can listen to our interview in the voice note below.Art from the collection of Lily Shanahan, who came by the Pixeum garage studio on March 9, 2024, to share three groups of art: the strong women series, the wood block series and the large poster series.The inspiration for the strong women series was Lily growing up with Madame Alexander dolls and then somehow, much later in life, seeing a friend’s copy of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s body building book. For her, mixing these images together seemed natural, an expression of the strength of women. I must say that for me, the first time I saw these images they were jarring. I have grown to like and appreciate them, especially after hearing Lily explain her inspiration. One of my favorite pieces by Lily in our house, between our kids’ bedrooms. keyword: featuredartists

Miriam Sweeney Artwork

“Drawing inspiration from city aerial views, my work explores the urban landscape that sit somewhere between order and chaos, structure and collapse, expression and control. Seen from above, its pieces emerge like a puzzle, each with its own personality. I paint playful, textured curvilinear shapes to capture the city streets, its landmarks, the droning sounds of traffic, the chitter chatter of its cast of characters. I hope to evoke the feeling one gets when flying into a new place for the first time, when we try to take everything in, or reflect on the lasting impressions of authentic connections, special places and their unique stories.”Photoshoot at Baker Street on June 23rd, 2024.Transcript of Recordingkeyword: featuredartists
