California has a rich continuing history of amazing artistry. Although Chemers Gallery showcases artists from all over the world, we have a special place in our hearts for local, California talent. Let's face it, we're all a little different out here!  We'd like to introduce you to the work of one artist based in Laguna Beach, and re-introduce you to the work of another based in San Francisco...

Trolley From Sea, mixed media by Larry Morace

It's been awhile since we've had new work from Larry Morace, so his latest 5 paintings are a welcome addition to Chemers Gallery! This Bay Area artist has been painting up a storm to create his signature city scenes of San Francisco and the surrounding environs. Full of life and movement, Larry's paintings present the city as if seen from the window of a moving vehicle. His current work is in pastel on gessoed panel, colored Canson papers and primed Arches paper, but he also paints with oils on canvas. Hailing from Louisiana and educated at Indiana University, Larry's influences include Richard Diebenkorn, David Park, and Wayne Thiebaud for their use of color and simplification of the scene down to the most important details. 


Stay tuned for the list of artists who will be sharing their talents with us live during the Enderle Center Summer Concert series! Mark your calendars, the first one is Thursday June 20th!

Chemers Gallery has been busy busy busy the first part of 2013, bringing you unique shows, events, book signings and community projects. Now that we can catch our breath, here's a sampling of what's new!

New Artists!

Playing Outside, papercut by Lorraine Bubar

Lorraine Bubar was introduced to us by Karen's friend, Debbie N, who said "You must see her work!" And she was right! Lorraine is an artist who "paints" with paper and an x-acto knife. She brings a thoughtful consideration to her stunningly delicate papercuts, drawing upon the tradition of folk art found in the heritage of Eastern European Judaism. Each one of Lorraine's intricate images are made from layers of decorative papers that have been cut to create illusions of silhouettes, water and depth. Lorraine often incorporates animal imagery within her work to draw comparrison to old papercut designs that used animals for symbolic meaning. A motif she returns to again and again is the koi fish, which represents ambition, strength and good fortune. We think it was our good fortune to meet Lorraine and become familiar with her unique papercuts!

Enso Bowl, glass by Richard Jones

Elegant, Asian-inspired lines feature in the refined glasswork of new artist Richard Jones. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, he founded Studio Paran in Wisconsin in 1989 with a passion and commitment to be present in his creative process. Richard strives to push forward and realize new ideas using ancient processes. He sees himself primarily as a craftsman and pours his heart and soul into his signature decorative yet functional designs. We see Richard as a talented glass artist who pairs refined colors and shapes to create something that is just oh-so-yummy to look at!

Sweeping Under Carpet, watercolor by Johanna Westerman

Children's book illustrator Johanna Westerman has been drawing since the age of two, filling pages with castles, mermaids and fairy tale characters. Inspired at an early age by the lush animation of Walt Disney's Bambi, Johanna went on to study art at Scripps College and Rhode Island School of Design. Rich in color and filled with intricate details, her beautiful watercolor illustrations are filled with tiny brushstrokes and are saturated in color. Johanna finds herself attracted to the work and technique of the early Flemish masters and miniature paintings. Johanna's picture books include Mother Holly and Wynken, Blynken and Nod. A project that was especially dear to her heart was Mandy, written by Julie Andrews Edwards and one of Johanna's absolutely favorite books from childhood.

New Artwork!

Square Plate in Olive, Grey & Blue, fused glass by Nick Capaci

You are probably familiar with the bold, geometric monotypes of printmaker Nick Capaci, but did you know he also works in fused glass? Nick has long been intrigued by glass as a medium and the challenges inherent in creating with this fluid material. He marries his love of two-dimensional painting and printmaking with his approach to glasswork. Nick's use of color and pattern translates beautifully between media. Looking closely at his functional and decorative plates and panels, you can see layer upon layer of color, pattern and design, an element also present in his fine art prints. Ranging from subtle, muted tones of translucent glass to bright eye-catching color, Nick's finished work is as unpredictable as the materials he favors.

Blue-Eyed Lion Dragon, ceramic by Maria Counts

The ever-whimsical Maria Counts has been creating up a storm to keep up with our demands - we want more, we want more! Making everything from butter dishes topped with hearts and birds to vases with faces, hearts and flowers, sculptures of free-standing kimonos to clocks adorned with lovebirds and owls, Maria does it all. She's even created a selection of absolutely adorable ceramic heart fortune cookies! On a more serious side, her very latest, hot-off-the-press pieces are sculptural ceramic dragon sculptures. But, this is just a teaser because they're all sold! (You have to be quick on the draw with Linda around!) We just had to share this wonderful blue-eyed lion dragon with you since you can't come in and see it in person. Maria - will you pretty please make more? With sugar on top?

Glass heart paperweights by Robert Held

Longtime glass heart fave Robert Held has announced his retirement, much to our sadness and gladness. We couldn't be happier for Robert as he embarks on a new beginning, but we will miss his beautiful glass work! After 37 years in the industry he's decided that it's time to pursue his other art interests and move to be closer with his fiance. We've stocked up on his heart paperweights, elegant vases and bowls.  Hurry in to snap up your favorite heart designs before they're gone forever!

We have just a couple of precious weeks of calm before our next series of events - our annual Summer Artist Demonstrations during the Enderle Center Summer Concert series! Mark your calendars now so you don't miss out on meeting your favorite local painters and craftspeople at Chemers Gallery!

Corona del Mar Tide Pools, acrylic on board by Ian Montelongo

Updated April 24:
Chemers Gallery is busy transforming into a slice of orange...Orange County, that is! With the help of 40 different professional and amateur artists and one very thoughtful and considered juror we present close to 80 unique viewpoints of Orange County from north to south!

Mary Aslin takes her role as judge seriously - she spent over 3 contemplative hours at Chemers Gallery yesterday choosing the prize winners, which will be announced during the artist reception on Saturday, April 27th. In addition to Mary's choices, the Enderle Center is awarding their own prize!

Come during the day on Saturday to enjoy the Enderle Center Spring Swing, featuring the live music of the Laguna Swing Society from 1-4pm. Grab some dinner and then join us for the Viewpoints artist reception from 5:30-8:00pm!

Chemers Gallery and the Tustin Art League have once again teamed up to bring you their annual juried show of professional and amateur artists from around southern California. You may remember our annual Scenes of Tustin show, and this year that same show has become Viewpoints: Orange County All Media. For our 6th annual exhibit, we stepped up the competition by expanding the scope of the show to all of Orange County. The response was tremendous, and we received more applicants than ever before - over 130! Mary Aslin had the difficult task of selecting almost 80 pieces to showcase.

We're so excited to see the growth of this show over 6 years. We know this show will be our best to date!

Viewpoints Orange County All Media 2013 brings you familiar images of the Orange County area from both professional and non-professional artists. Artworks range in medium from oils, watercolor and pastel to photography, mixed media and encaustic.

Come on in to discover a new favorite vista or two and meet the artists at the opening reception Saturday, April 27th from 5:30 - 8:00 pm.  If you can't make it that evening, you can still catch the show through May 11th. Don't forget to put May 4th on your calender, too, for a special judges walk through with Mary Aslin at 2pm!

This special book signing will benefit the Communication Sciences and Disorders program within the College of Educational Studies at Chapman University. Click HERE for more details!

Many of you are familiar with Dr. James L. Doti through his work as the president of Chapman University, but did you know he's also the author of two children's books? It's true! Both books are illustrated by talented artist Lisa Mertins, whom you may know through her delicate, whimsical ceramics.

Jimmy Finds His Voice, written by Dr. James L. Doti, illustrated by Lisa Mertins

We're excited to invite you to a very special reception for Dr. Doti and Lisa to mark the release of their second book, Jimmy Finds His Voice. Please join us on Thursday, March 14th from 6 - 9pm to meet both the author and illustrator, purchase original artwork and books, and sample Nonna's wonderful meat pie and biscotti recipies that are so dear to Dr. Doti's heart. A portion of all sales will benefit the Communication Sciences and Disorders program within the College of Educational Studies at Chapman University.

Jimmy Finds His Voice is a true story about little Jimmy's speech impediment and his journey to overcome his fears to become an inspiration to his peers.

Lisa's adorable mixed media illustrations are a perfect complement to the narrative. Her vivid colors are arresting and convey the mood and tone of Dr. Doti's works seamlessly.

Nothing but crowds & books!

We don't think Matt Tavares believed us when we told him there were a lot of books to be signed...

Fartiste, written by Kathleen Krull & Paul Brewer, illustrated by Boris Kulikov

Chemers Gallery is simply full of surprises, especially around this time of year! The authors of Fartiste, one of our most popular books this year, contacted us recently to ask if they could participate in our 21st Annual Children's Book Illustration Art Show & Book Signing, and we said "YES, PLEASE!" How lucky are we??

Kathleen Krull and Paul Brewer will be joining us this Saturday, December 1st, for the opening reception and to sign their "explosively funny, mostly true story" about a man and his unique "talent." PLUS, they will be opening our talks and demonstrations at 1:30pm with a dramatic reading of Fartiste! It's music to our ears!

Kathleen is also the author of the Giants of Science series and will be signing alongside illustrator, Boris Kulikov. And, if that weren't enough, we'll have a limited number of copies of her Lives of series for signing the day of the show. (Sorry, no pre-orders on those!) Check out our book list for updated info!

Even with the tremendous amount of preparation for our Children’s Book Illustration Art Show, this is my favorite time of year! Enchantment, excitement & emotions abound! It is always fun to see which books & illustrations are most popular and the adoring fans’ reactions.

I've been told that if reading were an Olympic sport, I'd be a gold medalist. So you must know what my favorite time of year at Chemers Gallery is, right? That's right, it's Children's Book Illustration Show time, when we get wonderous artwork and fantastic books from five talented illustrators!

Unusually, this year's book selection is on the serious side, with a great number ranging from historical to biographical to scientific. And oh my goodness, as if choosing my favorite books weren't hard enough already, this year we have almost 70 books to pick from! What is a girl to do? Crack open the books, I guess!

Looking at Bones, mixed media

I loved books about dinosaurs when I was younger - it's a subject that's not just for boys! Barnum's Bones would have been one that my little girl self would have enjoyed. It's all about Barnum Brown, the bone and fossil collector, who discovered his "favorite child," T.rex. He collected bones for the American Museum of Natural History, bringing their collection of dinosaurs from non-existent to the largest collection in the world! Barnum was quite an eccentric and would go prospecting in the desert dressed in suits and occasionally, fur coats. Boris Kulikov's delightful mixed media illustrations capture the excitement of first time discovery and make you feel like you're right there with Barnum and his "favorite child."

Jumprope, watercolor

The notion that any act of kindness, big or small, can impact the world and make it a better place is a pretty big concept, even for adults. That's why I love Each Kindness, a children's book that doesn't shy away from this lesson and instead shares it with grace and eloquence. E.B. Lewis makes the idea relateable to all ages with his wonderful watercolor illustrations. Instead of the happy ending you might expect out of a children's book, Each Kindness grants us an ending that is sad and cautionary, reminding us that to be kind to others is one of the greatest gifts we can give and one that we should give with unabandoned generosity.

Thumbelina in the Mole Hole, watercolor

For all classic fairy tale lovers, Sylvia Long's version of Thumbelina is simply enchanting! Thumbelina is a tiny, thumb-sized girl who is destined for huge adventures. She meets many friends like the kind-hearted field mouse who takes her in over the cold winter, and encounters unexpected foe during her journeys, like her neighbor the mole whom she's expected to marry. Thumbelina eventually finds her happily-ever-after with another tiny, thumb-sized boy. Sylvia's beautiful watercolor illustrations perfectly portray the story and lend an extra layer of magic. Each page is full of details that enrich the experience of reading this familiar tale.

Peering Through Bookshelves, watercolor & Prismacolor

Is it any surprise that one of my favorite books this year is about a book? No, didn't think so. The Lonely Book is a wonderful story about a book that's beloved when brand new, but as time goes on and it loses it's shiny luster people read it less and less. The book feels very sad but then a little girl discoveres it and it becomes her favorite. They are eventually separated but find each other once again with the help of a kindly librarian. Chris Sheban's whimsical illustrations convey the wonder of truly connecting with a favorite book and sharing its story with the world.

Team Picture, watercolor

When you're the shortest baseball player on your team and no one thinks you'll even hit the ball, much less a home run, what do you do? You step up to bat and prove them all wrong! Mudball places us right in the middle of a down by three, bases loaded, one out left game. All of a sudden, it starts to rain. Not just a drizzle, a regular downpour, turning the playing field into mud. Set in the early 1900's, Matt Tavares' sepia-toned watercolors capture the time period and atmosphere of that rainy day to perfection. And, did you notice that Matt is the author and illustrator? Now that's what I call talent!

Which books are your favorites? You still have a few weeks to decide, until close of business November 24th to be exact! Check out this year's Book List, complete with age ranges and pricing, or come on in if you need help choosing.

While you're browsing the books, don't forget to preview the original illustrations, both on our website and in person.

Boris Kulikov
Returning to Chemers Gallery for a second time, Boris' illustrations really capture the imagination. His bold colors and exaggerated perspectives work hand in hand to bring the stories to life. A graduate of The Institute of Theatre, Music and Cinema in St. Petersburg, Russia, Boris delights with a mixture of watercolor, gouache, pen & ink and pencil on highly textured paper. Boris won the Sydney Taylor Honor for The Castle on Hester Street and has had several books chosen as "Best Books of the Year."


E.B. Lewis
Sensitive, gestural watercolors are the cornerstone of the work of E.B. Lewis. The winner of both the Coretta Scott King award and a Caldecott Honor, E.B. has over 50 books to his credit with more to come. He began to study art in 6th grade at the influence of two artist uncles and later attended Temple University Tyler School of Art. His masterful watercolor illustrations portray stories of both cultural and historical significance.

Sylvia Long
An avid observer of nature with a keen eye for detail, Sylvia brings us brightly hued watercolors with a strong natural theme. In another lifetime, she wanted to become a veterinarian, but later discovered her true love in illustrating children's books. Her books have been chosen by Scholastic as part of the "Top 100 Children's Books of All Time."  Sylvia's vibrant watercolors sparkle with life and charm.


Chris Sheban
Chris's humorous watercolor & Prismacolor illustrations simply leap off the page! He has illustrated numerous books and book covers including Because of Winn Dixie. His process of layering color and medium lends a velvety texture that shows off the details of his work to a tee. With talent like that, is it any wonder he's won multiple gold and silver medals from the Society of Illustrators?!

Matt Tavares
Engaging us with graphite, watercolor and gouache, Matt has a style distinctly his own.  His first book, Zachary's Ball, began as a senior thesis project at Bates College, and later went on to win awards and honors, including an Oppenheim Gold Seal Award. Matt's subtle detailing works wonders in his many baseball and biographical books - you just have to see his work in person to catch every nuance!





Every year, the Children's Book Illustration Show benefits a local children's charity. This year, Chemers Gallery has again chosen to work with...


The Wooden Floor's mission is to empower low-income youth from diverse backgrounds to strengthen self-esteem, self-discipline and a sense of accomplishment through dance, academic and family programs. Since 2005, they are pround that 100% of their young artists graduate from high school on time and go on to pursue higher education. This is about 3 times the national average for their socio-economic peers.
