Upcoming Shows
We are pleased to bring to "the Moon" two artists who are a prime example of how art enriches our lives and brings joy to the viewer. Charleen Martin and Diane Sherman are guaranteed to bring summer into your home all year long.
About Charleen...
Charleen Martin is a recipient of the “International Louie Award” for greeting card design and has done work for such prestigious institutions as the Julliard School of Music; Radio City Music Hall; the Delta Queen Steamboat Company and the National Museum of Women in the Arts, just to name a few. Her work has been shown in numerous juried art shows and galleries and is held in many private and corporate collections. Charleen now resides in Washington state.
Artist Statement:
"We all experience the same emotions of love and hate, joy and sorrow, peace and chaos, but the how, when, where and with whom, make those experiences unique to each of us. I love color. I love design. I love the pieces of life that make us who we are. So now, when you look at all those tiny bits of paper that I have used to complete a painting, imagine they each are just one step in a very colorful road of life. And then … you get to continue that road with your own imagination and interpretation of my work. I hope it makes you smile."

About Diane...
"I believe in magic! I believe in those special moments where you meet someone and it changes your life forever. I believe in listening to life’s oracles, signs and symbols to travel one’s own path.
I have been making art since I was a child, then studied art history in college, steeping myself in the mastery of artists throughout the ages. I lived a very practical, and yet dichotomized life in my 20s, taking art classes at night and working in the investment banking world settling bond trades during the day. During that era, I pursued a Masters in Arts and Consciousness which filled me with curiosity, questions and a foundation to move towards my next step….
Which was to become a yoga teacher. In my mid-30s, I took up yoga due to lower back pain and it changed my life. I loved it as a physical practice and that it embodied a deeply spiritual aspect. For the past 20 years I have practiced and taught yoga which has shaped my spiritual life.
In these last few years, I have returned to my artistic life, both painting and writing, with a passion like never before. I am an intuitive painter and allow the form of the painting to emerge as the process unfolds. I love painting as an expression of the soul, as well as a way to bring more love and joy into the world.
I’m a natural teacher because I love sharing what I’m passionate about with people. Currently I lead trips to India combining yoga, creative arts and seeing spiritual sites. I teach creative process, writing and yoga classes regularly."
