Christian Ehrhorn Fine Arts is known for displaying unique visual arts and can be found nestled in the Theatre District of downtown Orinda, California.

On December 12 artists Christian Ehrhorn and Peeta Tinay of Orinda, Karen Frey of Oakland and Aaron Webb of Petaluma recorded their live online opening hosted by the gallery. Visit www.christianehrhornfineart.com/ to view the event.  Entitled “Arrivals,” the exhibit offers a variety of artwork including oil paintings, basket weaving, watercolors and encaustic paintings.

Tinay, a basket weaver, creates large scale baskets unique in size and multi-color finishes. Her bold constructions are often dyed, weathered and wax finished resulting in stunning pieces to be used and/or displayed. Visit www.tinaystudio.com to learn more.

Webb, a Navy Veteran and visual artist, creates deep, meaningful paintings utilizing dyes, paint, cold wax and texturing elements such as salt. He explores different materials to process personal experiences, emotional responses and surviving trauma. See www.aaronwebbstudio.com for more of his work.

Ehrhorn’s recent work explores depictions of place through the often fragmented and hazy residuals of memory. His oil paintings prompt the viewer to recognize their own experiences while hunting for figurative elements within his paintings.

Karen Frey works in watercolor and encaustic – a process using beeswax and pigments on birch panels. Her masterful paintings in both mediums depict intimate still life moments, sweeping landscapes and bustling urban scenes. Keep up with Karen at www.karenfrey.com
