East Bay Open Studios with 2727 Gallery Co-Op

Our twelve gallery artists will be presenting their art in a variety of forms: watercolor, oil, collage, ceramics, encaustic, paper cut, print making, digital medium, fluorescents, from figurative to abstraction. Nearly all the artists use found or recycled material.


Our twelve artists are:

Maria Tuttle’s 
pieces are created in a state of deep connection with the natural world, and they offer a glimpse into her personal journey. The collection is a mix of materials and techniques including oil paintings and watercolors completed using open-air techniques.

Tiffany Conway 

is an award-winning painter from the Bay Area who creates vibrant, imaginative works celebrating the African Diaspora. Her emotionally resonant paintings explore the intersections of past and present, using bright colors and fluid forms to depict daily life and the inner landscape of the human experience.

Annie Artell is a multimedia artist known for her architectural abstract ceramic work, which combines symbols, poetic writings, and found objects. Her unique visual language invites viewers to explore the intersection of storytelling and symbolism within her art.

Mary Witkop Coffield

began her foray into abstract painting by translating shapes and patterns viewed under the microscope during her career as a scientist onto the canvas. She produces both abstract and figurative work, often rich in biomorphic imagery.

Carla Golder's 

work focuses on Black women and various aspects of their journey through the African diaspora.

Emma Fenton-Miller 

makes work in papercut, enamel and natural pigment craft / painting. She explores relationship and belonging in human realms and the alienation built into the systems of our time. For her, making artwork is a practice of experiencing and noticing the aliveness of the world.

Josh Stein

works in metallic and fluorescent acrylics and industrial plastics. His works are interactive, meant to be touched and played with in various ways.

Quinn Keck 

is a multidisciplinary artist working across traditional printmaking, painting, and digital mediums to create dialogues on human experience. Quinn abstracts layers to explore the absurdity of patterns in a chaotic world. Constantly iterating new and old versions of ourselves improving each iteration but never fully finished.

Emily Keyishian

she creates abstract pattern paintings with layers of oil paint to explore the idea of where our bodies belong on the earth and how tapping into to the memory of textiles from one’s homeland can create a sense of connection.

Charlene Steen

expresses her emotional feelings through abstracted figurative pieces created with molten wax (encaustic). She paints with the hot molten wax, further melting it to get desired effects, and also utilizes collage for texture in some of the pieces.

Kelly Dunagan’s 

small watercolor and gouache paintings make use of pentimento and painterly style to explore the subjective realities of childhood and parenthood and to invite the viewer to peer beneath the surface of domestic life.

Janet Brugos 

gathers experience, plays with proportion and paints with texture. A mixed media artist her themes are Climate Awareness, Urban Landscapes and Status of Women World Wide. She chooses her mediums tactically be that paint, fabric, twine, stitches or found objects.
