ABOUT THE ARTISTS:
PATRICIA ARAUJO
The Meeting, 36" x 48", oil on canvas, by Patricia Araujo
Patricia Araujo was was born in Miami, Florida, the daughter of Colombian parents. She grew up in Bogota, Colombia and lived there until the age of 19. She began drawing at a very early age, always intrigued by architecture and form. After completing high school in Bogota, Araujo moved to Northern California and studied architecture, painting, and photography. In 2005 she obtained her second B.F.A in Painting, from the San Francisco Art Institute.
Araujo has been painting San Francisco’s central city architecture for over a decade. Her interest in the Mid-Market neighborhood continues, addressing the themes of urban growth and decay. Since 2008 she also devoted herself to a new body of work, "Tomorrowland Today". The newer series was inspired by futuristic, classical, and industrial architecture. Araujo's imaginary cityscapes are a mixture of old and new constructions from various places, East and West.
She has been exhibiting in San Francisco since 1998. In 2008 she published her first book, entitled ”SOMA SEEN”. Her work has been written about in the San Francisco Chronicle, ARTslant, Beyondchron, and the San Francisco Bay Guardian. She lives and works in the San Francisco Bay Area.

SPENCER SASS
The Transformation, 2.5' x 2.5', oil on wood, by Spencer Sass
Spencer Sass was born in Denver, CO in 1977 and received a BFA from the University of Northern Colorado in Painting and Graphic Design. He participated in multiple study abroad art programs at Humboldt State University, CA and Oxford Brookes University, in England.
After studies, Sass moved to Seattle, WA where he was part of the Art Collective “the Forgotten Works”. There he participated in monthly solo and group exhibitions. Since moving to San Francisco in 2007 he's had multiple solo exhibitions in a range of locations from boutique shops to ad agencies. Other side art ventures include a custom built and painted chai cart inspired by the elaborate truck art design of India for the Burning Man Art festival. He also led an international art project on a large scale mural in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, for a local childrens art class.
Much of his inspiration comes from travels abroad to areas such as Southeast Asia and India where the colors, typography and religious icons left a lasting impression. For more information about Spencer Sass please visit: www.spencerpaveksass.com
