Matisse Presents JD Miller with the Rising Star Award

November 9, 2007 was an unforgettable evening. REFLECTION Fine Art was packed with art lovers and a sense of history.  Pierre H. Matisse was here to support JD Miller and to present him with the Rising Star Award. Hotel Palomar was the location for Fashion Group Internationals Rising Star Award. Pierre H. Matisse was personally impressed by Miller’s 3D sculpted oil paintings.  Matisse stated, "As for me J.D.’s artistic composition, combined with his use of vibrant colors applied in lavish generosity, express this artist’s exuberance for living with a heart full of love."

JD Miller donates painting to Honduras Charity Auction

Our Operations Manager, Tanner Lawley, is traveling in July to Honduras to build a house for a homeless family.  He will manage a staff of volunteers who are all donating their time and energy toward a good cause.  JD Miller was so inspired by Lawley’s mission that he donated a 3-D oil painting to help raise funds for the trip.  Taylor Art & Frame donated the custom Italian porcelain frame and Laura Baldwin took home the original JD Miller piece.  We’d like to thank Will Taylor, Gregory Beck, Dick & Nicke Hetzel, Xanthy Sotiriadis, Michael Brusard, and Randall Cass for their generous donations.

Alexandra Nechita Paints with Kids @ the Gallery

On Saturday, May 5, the gallery celebrated Cinco de Mayo by hosting an event for child art prodigy, Alexandra Nechita.  Though she is now 21 and attending UCLA, her child-like innocence radiated as she painted with the kids on paper rolled out like a red carpet covering the gallery floors. 

The thing that struck me most was how the little ones were unaware they were in the presence of one of the most prolific artists of our time.  The priority of the day was to create a masterpiece while playing and I imagine many families are displaying the child’s work of art on their refrigerators.

Who knows… we may have witnessed a new creative spirit’s inspired birth as children explored color and form in water color, crayon and marker.
