About the Item
Artist Comments
A portrait of a woman against a striking red backdrop, rendered in artist Diana Rosa's signature mix of folk and pop styles. Diana simplified the figure's features to their simplest forms while managing to accentuate the character and expression of the subject. Part of an ongoing series of works accentuating the feminine figure. "I frequently manipulate images of women used to demonstrate fashion," says Diana.
About the Artist
Lighthearted and jovial by nature, Diana’s contemporary paintings depict people in varied scenarios of indulgence. Whether it is a quiet moment alone in the woods, or a tantalizing rendezvous in the tub, Diana creates private moments in carefree or comedic ways. Her narratives often include humorous sexual tension between unlikely bedfellows, enough to elicit a chuckle from even the most stoic art lover. “I create a visual dialogue where everything is possible and magic is the queen,” says Diana. “[There is] a subtle injection of ambiguity that blurs the gap between the ordinary and the fantastic. The background of this sub-world appears to be transformed into an innocent children’s fantasy that almost looks like a dream.”

- Timothy's Menagerie, Original PaintingLocated in San Francisco, CA
Artist Comments
Artist Johansen Newman depicts a portrait of Timothy from the book "Nothing Here to See" by Kevin Wilson. "This reminds me of my own experiences as an only child, when my room was my headquarters and the things inside were my comrades-in-arms for navigating the world of grownups," shares Johansen. In the painting, the boy finds comfort in his stuffed animals, using them as a shield from the people around him.About the Artist
Artist Johansen Newman captures various characters through charming scenes that often weave nostalgia. A reflection of her fondness for edge and funk prevails in her dynamic portrayal of humans with animals and objects of their affection. As a toddler, her mother gave her crayons and allowed her to draw on the walls of her room. She pursued a degree in painting and printmaking, then furthered her education by studying with Bil Baird at his puppet theater in New York, ultimately forming her puppet troupe. Years of crafting puppets, designing scenery, writing stories, and performing shows developed her arsenal of skills—going on to be an award-winning fiber artist exhibiting throughout North America. She integrates these learnings into her current art practice. "My paintings capture fragments of a tale in a time and place that was, is, or has the promise to become," says Johansen. She works at her studio and display gallery at Gorse Mill Studios, a 19th Century textile mill building in Needham, MA. Her woodworking shop doubles as her home studio, where she constantly evolves her compositions to satisfy her aesthetic. Johansen's work has been featured on the cover of local publications, in pictorial essays, and toured museums across the United States. She was a professional and published illustrator for more than 35 years, including two dozen children's books, three of which she also wrote. Besides creating art, she finds herself an enthusiast of vintage collectibles, jukeboxes, signages, tin toys, neon lights, cookie jars, carnival chalkware...Category21st Century and Contemporary Outsider Art Figurative Paintings
