Park Street Gallery Artists
Alan Bailey creates beautiful cabochons encased in sterling silver that have a southwest flair. These pendants are made with natural stones that are cut, polished, and placed into a variety of settings. Alan travels to Arizona annually, where he attends The Tucson Gem and Mineral Show designed for rock collectors, in search of the perfect stones to cut, polish and add into his creative designs. Sterling silver chains in 16 to 18 inch lengths are available with his cabochons.
Ana's journey began within the vibrant pulse of the Los Angeles art scene from the periphery, where she absorbed its energy as an observer and supporter. It was in leaving that landscape behind, that her own vision begin to emerge. Liberated from outside influence and the echo of others, she moves confidently in the light of her own artistic identity. Radiating clarity and self-discovery, Ana uses a combination of acrylic and oil paints, cold wax and collage to create bold, abstract and figurative paintings.
Andy Needles uses local reclaimed woods to create facinating serving platters/charcuterie boards. Each piece is made from a variety of woods, including California Sycamore, Black Locust, Olive Wood, Acacia, or Fire Salvaged Oak. He then incorporates various combinations of epoxy inlayed semi precious stones, including Lapis, Sodalite, Big Sur Marble, Chrysocolla, and more. These functional woodcraft items are treated with a food safe finish, and are an eye catching addition to any festive event.
April Daily creates traditional Japanese, "Geisha" paper dolls, Origami greeting cards, and earrings. April's work centers on the delicate beauty and cultural symbolism of Japanese paper art. Through delicate folds of paper, she explores themes of grace, tradition and quiet storytelling. Each geisha figure, called Washi Ningya (human form) is thoughtfully designed, drawing inspiration from traditional attire and the subtle elegance associated with Japanese aesthetics. Paper becomes both medium and message-its fragility reflecting the fleeting nature of beauty, ritual and time. Her origami cards and earrings extend this practice into functional art, transforming a simple exchange into a meaningful experience. Together, these works celebrate patience, craftsmanship, and cultural reverence, offering a quiet moment of reflection in a fast moving world.
Beryl experiments with ceramics, fiber art, photography, handmade books, and paper sculptures, with a focus on three-dimensional and container forms. She draws on a variety of materials and techniques, building her pieces intuitively. Her art emphasizes layering, delicacy, and the translucent qualities of handmade paper. She creates both functional and decorative pieces that are delicate and charming in their creativity.
Bryn Bridentahal creates stunning bracelets featuring bold, chunky colored and dichroic glass beads. Her pieces are known for their vibrant, shifting colors, and shimmering effects, that add a unique eye catching element. The elastic joinery make them easy to put on and comfortable to wear. Bryn carefully designs each bracelet, balancing color, texture and form, to create wearable art that stands out.
Camelia Wogu creates echo prints using natural fibers and non-toxic dyes extracted from plants, which are transferred onto materials such as silk, linen, bamboo, or felted wool. Preparing the plant material and arranging it on the chosen fabric is a unique artistic process, ensuring that no two scarves are alike. The result is an imprint of leaves, flowers, and colors that only Mother Nature can create.
Christine Charter Moorhead creates functional art for today's lifestyle. She has chosen the art of stained glass to fulfill her artistic desire to create objects of the highest quality that marry form and function. Each piece is a one-of-a-kind object meant to enhance and personalize a specific space. Since 1978 Christine has worked with glass to produce a wide variety of custom-designed pieces that reflect multiple themes.
David Doust began his artistic journey with early exposure to fine art and art history as a young teen. He pursued his passion at the University of Toronto, Canada's, Erindale campus, studying Art Education. Dave’s sculptures span a variety of mediums, including cultured stones, resin, glass, bronze, wood and paint. Notable public works include the giant sculpture of a butterfly on a hand in Arroyo Grande, (its five fingers represent the five cities), and decorative stop signs in Shell Beach. Dave is driven by the intricate dance of colors and light, particularly through glass and paint, which continues to fuel his creative exploration.
DAVID SETTINO SCOTT passed away in 2024. He had worked full time for over 45 years, as an artist in his studio in San Miguel, CA., and also taught art classes at Cuesta College. David’s work is best described as “California Primitive”. Characteristic of ‘primitivism’ practice is a willed naiveté, often accompanied by an opposition to formal, highly schooled and theoretical approaches to art-making, especially in painting. The primitive artist manifests a strong desire for personal authenticity and freedom of expression in their work.
Park Street Gallery is honored and pleased to be offering the last of David's Floral Series! Contact the gallery for more information.
