The lovely curators at the Carmichael Gallery are celebrating their new space in Culver City with “Life’s Flavor,” a great solo show by Brazilian artist Nina Pandolfo. I heard of Nina from Mike Vargas who had the chance to interview Os Gemeos in Brazil a few years ago and met her during filming. Needless to say her style is detailed and beautifully whimsical while the stories her work inspire are purely magical. If you live in LA or will be there in the next month, try to catch this show. It us open to the public between March 21 – April 18th.

The man, the myth, the legend…Doze Green. In his studio w/ Ian doing what they do best, painting and having fun. No interviews. No reasons. No justifications. Just a creative process.

One of the many aspects I love about my job is meeting new artists and being introduced to their work and creative process. Although I’ve seen the Barnstormers videos for a few years, it was only recently that I met Yuri Shimojo and her beautiful artwork. There is a playfulness and sensuality in her watercolors that are at times surreal and whimsical. Please take some time to explore her site & her work, especially the “stories” section which are really painted journal entries. Her sense of humor is sweet and her composition draws quite from her Japanese upbringing. I hope you enjoy her work as much as I did.
