The recently launched site, gallery and store, include her own original, professional photographs from across the country, ranging in location from Alaska all the way down to Florida. Her photography subjects range from a dogs life on the water and incredible birds-of-prey action shots, to winter landscapes and abandoned cabins in the forest.

Elizabeth’s original prints are available for purchase from the site, via a secure checkout. Each photograph can be purchased in a variety of different sizes in order to fit any space or location in your home and to add that extra touch of warmth to any room. Some of these options include canvas wraps, magnetic wall mounting systems, custom glass and aluminum prints, and specialty prints on apparel items, all of which are available for the photograph of the viewers choosing.

In addition to her online galleries and products offered, Elizabeth is a writer, and she has included an essays section to the new site with one post so far, entitled For the love of a dog”. She plans to start a blog on the website to attract nature, animal and photograph lovers from across the globe. Clients of Elizabeth Sohnle may securely log into the site via their access code, to review their personal photographs.

Elizabeth states that, Ive been fortunate to come across some particular locations and subjects that strike up my own feelings and passions about what lies before me. It gives me great pleasure to share with you a few images of these wonderful settings.

When asked how she goes about capturing the photographs that bring such emotion to the viewer, She stated, My goal is to recognize and understand the feelings and emotions that a particular image will elicit in other people as well as myself. If I get the view just right, then all of us will probably be pleased by that certain look on a puppys face, the colorful symmetry in a bit of forest, or even the unexpected hues seen in an old building.

World-Renowned Muralist ARYZ Begins Painting His New Mural in San Francisco, Co-organized by Upper Playground, Fifty24SF Gallery and WallSpaceSF

May 9th, 2013

0

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) April 29, 2013

Barcelona-based artist and famed muralist, ARYZ began work on his latest large-scale mural in San Francisco over the weekend. The wall located in the Tenderloin district, will feature a striking portrait of a woman drafted in ARYZs signature style. The new mural due to be finished this week is sponsored and co-organized by local support from Fifty24SF Gallery, WallSpaceSF and Upper Playground.

ARYZ, arrived in San Francisco earlier this month to open his highly anticipated, first solo show in the United States: STYLE IS THE LIMIT. The show at Fifty24SF Gallery opened on April 19th with a new body of work featuring studies, canvases and a sculpture that ARYZ has been working on between his murals across the world. The show will remain open until May 31st.

As a muralist, ARYZ is regarded by some as a transformative figure in contemporary muralism. He has been described as an artist who has taken on heavy-metal-influenced illustration and a tradition of European street art by combining them both into his own style of public art. He has achieved widespread acclaim in recent years, due in part to his artwork being featured on Aesop Rocks recent album Skelethon and a recent January 2013 cover and editorial feature in Juxtapoz magazine. But his well-received murals around the world speak for themselves and to the testament of this young artists talent and unique vision. Many of his fans in San Francisco and abroad highly anticipate what this finished mural will look like once it is completed this week. The latest news and updates about the mural will continue to post at http://news.upperplayground.com/news/aryz-mural-in-sanfrancisco.

Treasures of Louis C. Tiffany from the Garden Museum, Japan, Part 2

May 8th, 2013

Alameda, CA (PRWEB) May 01, 2013

Michaans Auctions is proud to announce the Treasures of Louis C. Tiffany from the Garden Museum, Part 2 auction to take place on Saturday, May 18.

Japans famed Garden Museum Collection was known for the assembly of the finest Tiffany masterworks ever produced. Michaans held the honor of presenting a portion of the collection in the first Treasures of Louis C. Tiffany from the Garden Museum, Japan Auction held on November 17, 2012. The auction led to an unprecedented sales figure for Michaans, becoming its highest grossing sale to date with a total of over $ 4 million. Over 75 fine lots originating from the Garden Museum will be featured, accompanied by additional Tiffany consignments from other private sources. Discriminating buyers from around the world will now have yet another exclusive opportunity to bid on magnificent Tiffany treasures.

Two important Tiffany floor lamps lead the Garden Museum highlight selections. Both are in excellent condition and are exceptional glasswork examples in their own right. An Oriental Poppy floor lamp standing 79 inches in height is a spectacular example of Tiffanys brilliant mastery of color. Petals were executed in ample cuts, allowing large sections of concentrated color to shine through. The red blossoms in this piece wonderfully reflect technique and bring the flowers to life in quite an inspiring way ($ 600,000-800,000). Another top-tier example is found in a Yellow Rose floor lamp ($ 750,000-900,000). The lamp is an exceedingly rare piece, sure to be coveted by the most knowledgeable of Tiffany collectors as only one other example is known. Branched, lemon yellow blooms spray out amongst a trellis backdrop, creating a beautiful juxtaposition of intricate design.

An additional piece of Tiffany lighting is offered in a geranium table lamp ($ 150,000-200,000). The conical shade is fashioned with standing geraniums, peeking out from broad leaves. The lamp is completed by a bulbous bronze base decorated with a blue and green palette of mosaic tiles. The mosaic bases are highly coveted, considered the most desirable by Tiffany enthusiasts.

Several original paintings by Louis Comfort Tiffany also make an appearance at this auction. Included is a 1925 oil on canvas titled Painting on the Beach at an auction estimate of $ 40,000-60,000. Tiffanys personal nurse, Sarah Hanley, and a fellow artist are depicted painting on a South Florida beach. The bright and airy composition incorporates expressed color and light, playing out the idyllic scene. Another Tiffany artwork in the auction is found in a watercolor on paper deemed Desert Scene ($ 35,000-50,000). Tiffany was fascinated by North Africas intriguing combination of exoticism, daunting vistas and intense sunlight. He credited his painting excursions to Algeria, Morocco, Egypt and the Levant with awakening him to the importance of color. In painting Desert Scene, Tiffany combined opaque and transparent watercolor pigments to create the effect of heat haze, giving the work marked depth and perspective.

An outstanding Tiffany armchair is to be included in the offered lots ($ 120,000-140,000). The massive oak and quilted silk velvet chair was originally designed for the New York residence of sugar refining magnate Henry O. Havemeyer. A repeating, interlaced strapwork design is utilized throughout the carved oak frame as well as the quilted upholstery, giving nod to Celtic and Norwegian Viking prototypes. The mate to this chair is in the permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Decorative works of art from the Garden Museum Collection are quite varied in the sale, providing an exciting representation of artistic disciplines produced by Tiffany Studios. Amongst the offered lots is a circa 1900 Calla Lily and Poppy enamel-on-copper vase ($ 70,000-90,000), also an enamel-on-copper Sagittaria vase whose lip displays a foliage form ($ 70,000-90,000), a bronze candlestick decorated with Favrile glass balls ($ 30,000-40,000), a Scarab humidor ($ 35,000-40,000), a bronze Casket inkwell inset with Favrile glass turtleback tiles ($ 30,000-40,000) and an important set of Tiffany & Company mixed metal silver exhibited at the 1878 Exposition Universelle in Paris. Rounding out the highlighted Tiffany selections are many examples of vases and blown glass, as well as several Tiffany windows.

An addition to this sale will be four extraordinary modern works in glass by Steven Stelz as well as a contemporary stained glass window in the style of Tiffany by Michael Mattei.
