“I’ve found that my real passion is painting. My perfect day
is spent sitting before a canvas, pushing paint around,
playing with color and light. I want to explore and
interpret any subject that I find beautiful. Being free to
do that is an amazing privilege.
There will also be
several new pieces by the owner, Dawn Morishige. Dawn’s Film
etchings have recently been featured on HGTV, documenting
the technique.
“With film
etching I am able to draw attention to a particular part of
a scene and/or add color to a black and white image. The
etched film is then blended with resin to create a liquid,
lifelike quality.”

Buyart Studios is preparing to have it’s 2008, Spring
show with fellow Alumni from Otis Parsons, K.L. Thomas.
This show, “Revealing Images” will feature new artwork by
the
Owner, Dawn Morishige as well a Collection of Paintings
by K.L. Thomas.
The work of K.L.
Thomas consists of ethereal figures layered with paint and
paper. They are beautiful, haunting as well as thought provoking.
In the words of the
artist:
“In my paintings, the drawings of the figure face
straight ahead, the “guts” and “heart” confronting anything
from fear of terrorism to overcoming personal demons. There
are no faces on the torsos, making the figures universal.
The parts of words or phrases that I collage onto the canvas
serve as little hints or clues that point to the part of the
painting (or part of us) that is the goal. This is the part
we need, must overcome or work through.
These images are metaphors for our memories as well as
the things we have forgotten.”
K.L. is an established artist who has shown all over
California from San Francisco to Pomona, with many of her
pieces in private collections across the country.
The artwork of Dawn Morishige is an innovative take on a
background of photography. The work does not fit into a
singular discipline. As the viewer interacts with the work,
it starts to reveal the intricacies and details of the
varied media which stretch and blend to become one object
In the words of the artist:
“Light is a primary
consideration in the creation of my work. I print on film
because of its transparency. Film allows light to move
through the work and create a continually changing image.
Lighting can create a powerful presence or a subdued shadow.
I create work that evolves, as everything does throughout
the day, in the changing light of the sun. Light enables the
process of revealing the inner workings and layers of my
work.”

The Studio features an intimate setting with a

that provides a perfect viewing atmosphere. The openings
provide wine, music and culture to everyone that comes.
