Doug Glovaski's residency coincided with his mid-career retrospective at the ICA in April 2008. His large-scale, intensely colored abstract paintings and works on paper are based on childhood memories, current-day observances, and experiences that evoke a strong sense of place and mood. Glovaski was born in Michigan and moved to the Bay Area as a child. His paintings are included in numerous public, corporate and private collections throughout the country. Glovaski is a recipient of the prestigious Pollack-Krasner grant and is represented by Dolby Chadwick Gallery, San Francisco and Sears Peyton Gallery, New York.

 

The delicate beauty of Pamela Wilson-Ryckman's watercolors stands in stark contrast to her depictions of turmoil and disaster. Her brutalized landscapes with images of war and destruction are washed in pale pastel colors that create an intentional ambiguity in the work. Wilson-Ryckman's residency took place during her participation in the ICA's exhibition The Landscape of War in November, 2007. She is represented by Gallery Paule Anglim, San Francisco.

 

Rosana Castrillo Diaz is interested in exploring the fine line that separates representation from abstraction. This duality is represented in her work. She transforms overlooked moments, places, and objects into the sublime and ethereal. Castrillo Diaz was born and raised in Asturias, a small province on the northern coast of Spain. She received her BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1996 and an MFA from Mills College in 2003. She was one of four recipients of the 2004 San Francisco Museum of Modern Art SECA award. She is represented by Anthony Meier Fine Arts in San Francisco.
