"Our newest San Francisco Arts Commission piece is "No Other Lands Their Glory Know" by Alice Shaw. This photographic image is of a redwood forest on Mount Tamalpais in Marin County, California, just north of the City and County of San Francisco. The title for this artwork is taken from a line in a poem, The Redwoods, written by Joseph B. Strauss, the chief engineer of the Golden Gate Bridge. Visitors are invited to enjoy the natural splendor of The Golden State while at the airport. See "No Other Lands Their Glory Know" by Alice Shaw, post-security, above Gate 95 in the International Terminal" This was posted to our Instagram account on September 24, 2017 – https://millsfield.sfomuseum.org/instagram/1729359059/

My painting "Atmospheric River" was juried into the 2025 Salon at the Triton! I'll be delivering it to the Triton Museum in Santa Clara tomorrow. The jury selected 146 works from over 2300 entries so I'm pretty proud my piece got in.

The opening is May 17 2-4pm; I'll post more details soon.

Recently started a membership at makerspace in SF called Humanmade. The intent is to get back to woodworking and experimenting with the CNC but I'm also excited to have laser access again. Did some quick studies with paper over the weekend and once I got my settings dialed in I really liked the results.

As this piece was just an experiment to begin with I added some spray paint. Little too aggressive on the sanding to remove the paint from the top surface but still fun results. This one is headed to the bin but there is potential in the process.

Two individual artists, a couple, drive the move away from abstract expressionism to Bay Area Figuration as their life experiences, and their art, evolve. An impressive exhibition at Crocker Art Museum weaves the histories, the reciprocal influence with other artists, and simply wonderful, powerful works.

Martin Jambon - San Jose - at RAWartists.com

Martin Jambon is a French painter, programmer, and scientist living in Palo Alto. Born in Orléans in 1977, he studied biology and computer science before moving to California in 2004. His art career started “accidentally” in 2022 after he turned his old kitchen table into a permanent art workstation because “it would have been a pity to throw away such a sturdy piece of furniture.” The goal of his abstract compositions is to allow unlimited personal interpretations, free of taboos. He declares “I'm the happiest man when every morning, I look at the same painting and it starts animating and telling me a new story. I want to share this with the world.”
