2023

About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Libby Ramage presents an image of two human figures and an insect. She paints the glove crimson and attaches beads and pages of a book for a revolutionary flair. "This piece was inspired by a wasp that uses false gifts to attract its mate," shares Libby. The rough texture of the handmade paper emphasizes the emotional nature of the human quest for love.


About the Artist
Libby Ramage infuses a playful and whimsical mood into her works. In fact, she credits the children she works with for greatly influencing her aesthetic. She often uses children’s abandoned work in her collages. Libby currently lives in New Jersey and finds inspiration in the work of Rauschenberg. She believes collectors should buy from the heart.

  • Envy, Original Painting
    By Sharon Sieben
    Located in San Francisco, CA

    Artist Comments
    Artist Sharon Sieben paints a woman in the foreground, keenly observing the other pair in the background. Minimal representation and primitive paintwork constitute the conversational display. With her hand on her hip, the main subject implies an air of conflict. "She is not included in the conversation," says Sharon. The piece makes the viewer question the engaging narrative between the characters.


    About the Artist
    Sharon Sieben prefers working in a loose, fluid technique and finds inspiration in the most unexpected things. Her parents bought her a set of oil paints when she was ten years old and it sparked her love of art. She especially admires the work of Impressionist artists such as Paul Cezanne because of how they broke tradition. When she's not making art, she enjoys reading and playing classical guitar...
