 Please join us in viewing work from the following artists...

Mike Pedersen, fine art photographer... 
My new collection of work entitled "Los Angeles"...a collection of urban landscapes dedicated to and inspired by our ever-changing "City of Angels". From desolate urban scenery brought about by declining fortunes in the late 1960s to beautiful imagery of a re-surging metropolis, the show exhibits emotion and hope through texture, mood and composition. http://Mikiep.com

lllustrations by MikieP...  

SUPER fun and whimsical illustrations inspired by childhood treasures and super heros. "I remember having SuperMan PJs and cutting the feet off of them so I could run around the house. Then laying in front of a fan acting as if I were ssssoarrrring through the air on the way to my next caper. What fun thinking I could fly!" http://Mikiep.etsy.com

Hollis Hart, painter and illustrator...
We are excited to show the wonderfully whimsical work of Hollis Hart, who is new to our gallery. "Something that interests me a lot is what happens when you put a utensil of any sort into the hands of a kid.  Their only goal is to put down what they see in their mind’s eye." www.artbyhollishart.com
