Caitlin Schwerin is a pixie; a Tinker Bell of the modern art world who greets a visitor with a mischievous smile and a Dickensian urchin’s glint in her eye - a delightful presence that’s both beguiling and roguish. That radiance is also reflected in her painting, which captivates and seduces the viewer with its own [...]

He has the gentile drawl and the graciousness associated with his native Virginia, but he has put down deep roots in Santa Fe. His classic adobe home is a showcase, and he loves to show it off. The sunny [...]

Oliver Jackson blindsided me. Setting up our interview on the phone, he was polite and seemingly mild-mannered. Driving up to Oakland, I somehow avoided the infamous traffic on Interstate 880. I located Oliver’s place - a cool live/work space in an industrial building on the city’s busy north side - with no problem at all. [...]

When Marc Trujillo goes to Costco, it’s an inspirational experience. He walks around the store, sometimes with his wife, Linda, other times alone, taking it all in.
