As summer turns to fall, the days and the light they cast are golden here in the Golden State. And nowhere is that sublime mix of changing sunlight, shadow, and season more potent than in the work of artists Annie Clavel, Glenn Waggner, and Linda Stelling.

Like the season itself, these artists reveal their own golden days, expressing the beauty of nature and the rich, narrative stories of life in Southern California. Their imagery creates a sense of playfulness, joy, and wonder, introducing viewers to a shining new perspective on the world around them that transcends place and time, and lifts the eye to a land of artistic exploration and wonder. You’ll find lush impressionistic and abstract gardens, luminous abstract swirls and curls, and perfectly calibrated stories about LA urban streets, bars, and beaches.

Glenn Waggner

Working in oil, Waggner’s visual storytelling captures urban scenes, bars, and darkly noir rabbit characters as well as more bucolic landscapes. Born and raised in Southern California, Los Angeles, his work is infused with the rhythms of Southern California and the surfing/skateboarding culture of the 70s.

Annie Clavel

Clavel is a galvanizing mixed-media abstract painter who grew up in Paris, France. Moving to Long Beach, California in 2006, drawing on a background in science, her work explores perpetual motion, cosmic space, and the idea of infinity, evoking mystical landscapes, emotions, and countless untold stories.

Linda Stelling

Grounded in an enduring connection to nature, Stelling’s art practice is shaped by the earth and its living rhythms. Abstraction allows her to express this dialogue with freedom, using fluid curvilinear lines and layered surfaces to evoke a visceral response. Dreams and memory also weave through her process, guiding color and form as pathways between the inner and outer worlds.
