Severe Peace Series Upon Inspection
By Marina Diaz;18″ x 24″ chalk pastel
Gallery Price: $2,000
Starting bid: $700
Marina Diaz was born in Long Beach, California and grew up in South Pasadena, California. She is half Indigenous Native American and European descent. As of the first grade, Diaz was sure that she was an artist. In 1988, she attended Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California to study advertising and found herself in a drawing class. Her drawing skills advanced almost overnight, and she was offered time to hone her drawing and painting skills while studying advertising-design.
Portraiture and the human figure have always been Diaz’s focus. Using her Indigenous intuitive skills, she listened closely as art spoke and emerged onto her canvases. It has never been her intention to create an exact representation of any subject. Comparatively, she uses pigments to represent the aesthetics of: love, grief, healing, strength, and courage through portraiture and seascapes. In addition, the emergence of our collective soul is her primary creative journey. Using her advertising skills, she has had the ability to successfully curate her own solo art shows as well as participating in many group shows.
Diaz was recently included in the IEMA Collection of Art and had one of her drawings from the series: Severe Peace be selected as the banner to their first show. She is primarily a studio artist; finding that she works best alone with loud music playing.

Conceiving of (small trio)
By MaryLinda Moss;5″ x 4″ x 4″ each mixed media
Gallery Price: $1,800
Starting Bid: $600
MaryLinda Moss, artist, art consultant and owner of Source Art, has a tremendous passion for art grounded in a degree from the Art Institute of Chicago.
Her keen sense of aesthetic acquired over decades collaborating with Interior Designers and rich experience in many realms of artmaking sets her up to be a perfect bridge between the Fine Art and the Interior Design worlds. Tapping into an exciting array of art from her relationships with hundreds of artists, galleries and dealers and inspired by the Interior Designer’s vision, MaryLinda enhances each project with exceptional art. She has developed a process that guides designer and client through the art selection and procurement process, allowing for an evolution of the client as collector.
MaryLinda’s sculpture and installations are an abstracted embodiment of our emotional and spiritual experiences, with an ancient, earthy quality. They delve into the ephemeral, the transitional, the transformative in ourselves; the vulnerable point from which we come to a new awareness of self. The intricacy of detail and the sensuality of surface invites an intimate, fresh look at how we experience the body and ourselves. Her use of organic matter in conjunction with other materials is aesthetically engaging, but also presents a concept essential to the work. With inspiration from the natural world, she uses a variety of materials and media including bronze, wax, stone, and natural fibers to create sculptures and installations that relate to the body and its processes.
