Functional pottery with a sculptural twist. Everything is handmade in Ojai by Taylor Riggs, the one-woman show behind Green t Pottery. Inspired by organic shapes and designs, Taylor sees the world around her. With her main muse being octopuses, she elevates everyday ceramic ware with sculptural elements and precision to detail that brings her pottery to life. All pieces are made individually, never with molds and always uniquely different from the next, expressing different colors, textures and personalities that you might find in an octopus, or yourself.

Some of my pieces are one of a kind and some are part of limited collections, although each of them is unique due to the process I use.

My art is eclectic, colorful and dimensional using oil, acrylic, and mixed media. There are often unexpected outcomes that occur so my vision evolves during the painting process forcing me to think outside the box. A successful painting tells a story to the viewer, one that may be different for each person. I'm always surprised at the wonderful way the paint "settles" into the canvas when I look at it a few hours later. Complete joy! Dominique Blanchard

I create abstract art. I experiment with a vast array of styles, techniques and materials to create original art. My preference and expertise, however, is in the usage of mixed media to construct shapes and color. My pieces often start from an intuitive feeling. Mosaic and Sculpture ArtistsFrank Bauer - bauerkraft.com
I’m a mosaic artist. The thing that makes my pieces different is I make all the tile pieces. I start with wet clay and roll it out with a slab roll. I then cut out or fabricate the pieces. Then they are glazed and high fired, where they get their brilliant color and shine. Paula Jennet Art - PaulaJennet.square.site

As an artist born in Santiago, Chile, a country renowned for its copper production, it felt only natural for me to embrace this as my medium. My work is deeply inspired by nature with a harmonious blend of copper, aluminum, steel and wood to add depth and contrast. Each creation is reflective of my connection to nature and my journey from Chile to California, where the vibrant landscape continues to inspire and shape my art. Kenny Stump - IG: @kennystumpart

Foraging in nature has always been a passion of mine, but it wasn’t until recently that I was able to transform that obsession into art. I spend most days collecting unique pieces from nature, learning the magic of the land through sticks and leaves, seeing the cohesion between each element, and trying to make to a harmonious piece that represents that world into a still life. My work speaks to those who seek to include nature in their everyday lives, those who want to surround themselves with beauty. My work questions what belongs together, what makes the world go round, and what is wondrous, beautiful. Gerry Wilson - www.GerryWilsonStudios.com
I'm a professional fine art photographer with 50 years of experience in the industry. I recently created a new fine art line of printing Southern California panoramic beach sunsets and boardwalks on natural wood planks of different sizes. The grain of the wood accentuates the clouds in the sky and the ripples in the sand giving the image more depth and texture. ![]() |

I like to have my art speak for itself and find that when I truly incorporate my current emotions in my art the art reflects everything. I am a bright and colorful person so a lot of my personality is something that drives my eye for what to paint next. Jake Bonn - website
I’m a musician that creates art in my free time! It’s been a passion of mine for four or so years now. I’d like to think I have a unique style that kind of blends pop art, realism, and some sort of American traditional tattoo art. Religious imagery is one of my favorite topics to paint. Suzanna Cronmiller - https://www.suecronmiller.com/
Poet, Painter, Educator in the Arts and Humanities, Suzanna Cronmiller has taught and written about how to spark the creative imagination for over 30 years. In painting, Sue works primarily in oil and cold wax, a medium that allows her to create, through multiple layers. It's a process of building, removing and re-building to render places both strange and strangely familiar — natural environments evocative of states of mind, mood, aged in time, weather, history and memory. Her images are brought into being through texture, shape and color on three-dimensional cradled wood panels. Come by to see her creations and she'll show you how to make and take home a poem of your own. Debbie Diamond -

I have been an avid photographer for most of my life and enjoy manipulating my photographs digitally to make abstract pictures. Once I discovered fluid art, I never looked back. I love fluid art as you just never know what you are going to get, but you can expect some wonderful surprises. I create paintings on canvas, tile and wood. Kristin Ellison - kristinellison.com
My paintings take a critical view of how our society perpetuates unattainable standards of beauty at the expense of women’s mental health, and how media reinforces the value both men and women place on perfection. Drawing inspiration from historical fashion illustrations, my paintings explore how women trap themselves in society's vision of what they should be while subconsciously, or consciously, yearning for more meaning in their lives. The faceless figures reside in multi-layered fields of color and textures, enveloping them in a visual hum of energy and meaning. In a world fixated on visual perfection, I hope my paintings will lead the viewer to question that fixation and be compelled to see beyond vanity with an eye more focused on understanding the soul.

As a dual-modality artist, I'm deeply fulfilled by immersing myself in the realm of wildlife, forming a profound connection with its inhabitants. Through the lens of my camera, I don't just capture images; I encapsulate emotions, imbue spirits, and freeze moments of raw beauty that resonate with the core of existence. Using oils on canvas, I translate my photography into experiences that encourage exploration within oneself and the world. Employing palette knives and bold colors, I aim to captivate viewers instantly, evoking visceral responses. My art urges others to break from routine, appreciate nature's beauty, and support causes like wildlife conservation. It serves to invite others to discover the wonders of the natural world and join efforts to protect it. Lizette Inzunza - www.venturasistercity.org

Acrylic and Oil paintings. Abstracts and Landscapes. Julianne Lee - IG Juliannelee_create
I am a portrait artist who paints animals and people and I use oil and watercolor as my medium. I’ve been painting for just under nine years. My oil pieces generally have a story as to why they were created, whether it be based off something I’m passionate about or a life experience. Painting for me is very healing, therapeutic and meditative. I picked up watercolor after I became a mother a few years ago as a way to create smaller pieces and quicker to fulfill my creative desires. I love sharing my pieces and talking to strangers who draw curiosity to them. Ocho Libre - ocholibre.com

www.redbrickart.com I am obsessed with color and motion in my work. The subjects that most fascinate me are elements of nature — big skies, colorful waves and whimsical wonders of the cosmos. I began my creative life as a photographer, looking at the world focusing on the grand landscapes and the small details. These elements have translated into my passion for painting where I can capture the natural world around me. Dan Nguyen - www.dannguyen.art

My artwork is a reflection of the things that bring me joy. Most of my work is influenced by my love of nature, life, and color. It was at CLU where I fell in love with painting and began dabbling in abstract and macro form. These styles heavily influenced my brushstrokes and can be seen throughout my work.
