I'm Arshla from 9AM.art, an abstract mixed media artist based out of San Francisco. This city reignited my passion for art. I discovered here my affinity for abstract expressionism.

Since then, abstract art has become my chosen medium. Morning time after breakfast is my utmost creative rush hour, which is why the name 9AM.art. I paint without a plan, allowing each stroke of my brush to be raw, resulting in compositions that reflect the essence of acknowledging imperfections in life.

I love including textures with paints to give a third dimension to the artwork which speaks directly to the art lovers. This series of abstract florals is inspired by the beauty around Golden Gate park and depicts each painting as a lady with a name, synonymous to bouquet of flowers we bring home from our grocery runs and co-live with it like a human.

I’m a San Francisco-based painter by way of Texas, and have been teaching art at the same public school in the Peninsula for over 20 years. My paintings reflect my love of nature, and the two in this exhibit focus specifically on the ocean and the passing of time.

I received a BA in Studio Art and a BFA in Visual Art Studies from the University of Texas, Austin, and more recently a Masters in Art Education from Eastern Illinois University.

Troubled by the proliferation of what the San Francisco Chronicle terms “gentrification grey,” Chloe Roth created her Outer Sunset series to memorialize the seaside neighborhood before it loses all its color, figuratively and literally. In protest to the modern trend of repainting the historically sherbet-colored row houses grey, her work celebrates the colors that cut through the mist of the perennially foggy neighborhood. The series incorporates orthographic drawings, watercolors, collages, cross-stitch, and bead embroidery.

Through my paintings, I create a portal that takes viewers on a visual journey into a meditative state - a way to dive into a calm and balanced mind. My creative practice is inspired by Sacred Geometry, Zen teachings and meditative practices. I use simple bold shapes, repetitions and gradients to create a refreshing effect that brings viewers back to the present moment. Painting is a meditative process and I'm hoping to evoke this feeling through my work.
