Current Event

Lucy Liew is a Malaysian-American artist whose paintings have been described as a “rich tapestry of color” a reference to her colorful, multi-layered painting style. Lucy’s paintings draw upon her personal experiences as well as her travels throughout Borneo and California.

Using indigenous symbolism and cultural iconography, together with botanical and zoological motifs, Lucy has developed her own artistic language to imbue her paintings with human emotions and experiences. Viewers of her works are invited on a magical journey through vivid botanical compositions that are a fusion of the real and the fantastic.

Lucy’s artwork has been shown in numerous exhibits both nationally and internationally and can be found in both public and private collections around the world.

Flora-Rosejade’ – Linda Guzzetta Living in Sonoma County for more than 25 years, I have always been inspired by nature and the textures of the world that surrounds me. Whether it be in my garden or across the globe to Asia and beyond, my art reflects a personal interpretation of these images. Working from both my own photographs and imagination, I enjoy the detail and vibrant color that acrylic paint brings to my work. Multiple layering of color and texture are used to create my abstract and realistic art.

As a self-taught artist, my process is always a new journey in discovering new pathways and techniques to communicate.

Over many years of creating art, this ever changing process, through various mediums, has included graphite, ink, colored pencil, watercolor, mixed media, encaustic, and most recently acrylic on canvas.

Teri Sloat – Narrative Art and LandscapeI have two very different needs when I do my art. One is to be outside painting our landscapes and the other is to drift into scenes floating through my mind which, when put to paper or canvas, tend to take me to a more imaginary place. I am a storyteller, picture book writer and illustrator. The works you see at Sonoma Eyeworks® come from images and my own mythology that bubble up from somewhere deep inside.

I love my personal clients, and am pleased that over the last few years that my work is going into more and more hospitals and clinics, including our own Santa Rosa Sutter Hospital, Sonoma West Medical Center, Boston Children’s Hospital, and Central Valley Hospital.

Stacey Schuett — Mixed Media Paintings | As an artist, I’m interested in noticing minutiae…the small details of living. Hidden things draw my attention: overlooked creatures, half-present memories, the wavering silhouette of what might or might not be true.

I work with acrylic paint and gouache and found materials on a prepared surface, usually paper or wooden panel. Sometimes I use collage elements or a rough underpainting to increase the surface texture. As a kid, I loved to look at paintings that had a caked-on quality or a fluid, haphazard appearance. These days, I build as much as paint my pieces, and aim to give them a luminous quality.
