Majio has training in the United State, several years in Europe with a Master’s degree from the Buddhist University of Naropa in Creation Spirituality. Her most influential training however was in Japan over a twelve year period. Her initial trip to Japan was to study Buddhist Art, but it quickly narrowed to the traditional arts of Zen and masters if that orientation in other cultural arts. It was not so much what was learned in a papermaking village, kimono dyeing studio or the making, filling and firing woodburning kilns but how to learn or, better said, how to practice. There are many words in Japanese for practice, the one here is the polishing of being. In painting, Majio has always flowed back and forth between figurative and abstract expression. The aesthetics and Cultural Arts--- like calligraphy and tea ceremony---- garnered during her apprenticeships in Japan, along with Zen practices and concepts weave many textures into her work. Majio’s pieces are created with the overarching concept that art is not a polarity between object and subject but rather, complementary, where each part works to define each other. Working from a collaborative process-with materials, with subject and with times, Majio releases herself as sole agent, even when hers are the only hands that touch the piece. This carries out to the viewer, opening a sense of participation, evoking involvement and discussion. Inviting a realization of recognizing and choosing to acknowledge a reality beyond what we have inherited provides a platform for evoking possibilities, innate joy and new vision.

"Take Your Pleasure Seriously" - Mixed Media Textured Collage Painting
By Cabell Molina
Located in West Hollywood, CA
This 36 inch square original mixed media painting on canvas is wired and ready to hang. Layers of patterned collage elements and acrylic paint bring this artwork to life. The layering and unique texture of colorful clippings and geometrical designs create a window looking into a luxurious escape perfect for any home or office. The sides of the artwork are painted and it does not require framing. It is signed and titled by the artist on the back of the artwork.
Molina's work is influenced by her prior career as an advertising art director–but now her goal now is to sell perspective rather than product. In this series, Cabell reclaims classic femininity as multi-faceted, giving voice and texture to lost imagery. Her art pushes for colorful expansion of a “woman’s place” while it explores the complex dynamic of a woman’s emotions, celebrating the bygone glamour of mid-century fashion and deconstructing its patriarchal underpinnings. Cabell’s painting/collages read as meditations on the female experience and the pursuit for sovereignty in a historically male dominated culture.
She studied graphic design, and fine art at San Diego State University and Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles. Her work has been featured in NYT The Cut, CNN Style, and Vogue, as well as shown in multinational galleries and can be found in private collections around the world.

Pipe Dreams: African American collage painting w/ photographs figures, objects
By Richard J. Watson
Located in Bryn Mawr, PA
This is an abstract collage / painting created from acrylic and found objects. It is framed in a wide, dark wooden frame with gold accents. It includes several manipulated historic photograph of figures in many guises, arranged as if on stage. It is signed and dated by the artist lower left.
PROVENANCE: Exhibited in "Portals + Revelations: Richard J. Watson," the African American Museum in Philadelphia, Oct 2021 - Mar 2022.
"Most of my works are supported by memories of the past and suggested realities. Issues of social politics, ancestral references, and astral projections are presented with fragmented elements of 'real life' collaged and collapsed, as dreams are prone to do. If connections are made, all the better. I feel that life should remind us of our dreams." - Richard J. Watson
Richard J. Watson is an icon in the Philadelphia art world. Much of his work relates to his experiences as a Black African American man. He is a graduate of Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (1968), has taught at his alma mater, and has served in the Exhibitions Department at the African American Museum in Philadelphia since the 1980s. He has been exhibiting his work for decades, and has an extensive bibliography. His work is held in the Petrucci Family Foundation Collection of African American Art; the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts; the Uniworld Corporation; Sony; the Federal Reserve Bank; the City of Philadelphia; Sprint; the Church of the Advocate; the poet Dr. Sonia Sanchez; and the Woodmere Museum...
