Bob & Donna Sellers

On a more personal note...

 
  Our work reflects our interest in Jungian symbolism and imagry that stimulates the imagination and evokes a resonance within the viewer. Our work has evolved into two main series of images, "Reflections of the North Coast," and "Reflections of the Feminine." In both series we use people and animals to reflect our intention and to connect with the viewer, always with an eye to symbolic meanings and unconscious possibilities.  

Reflections of the Feminine

During our many years of practice in psychotherapy, utilizing the expressive arts, we have been privileged to meet the endless variations of the human psyche. With our art, we are able to reflect some of these patterns of energy known as the Feminine, fully realizing that a work of this nature could never be complete.

"She awakens from the cool clay of the earth to express her limitless ways of being. She projects her instincts, her powers, showing her inner conflicts, and her evolving sense of self, without surrendering the right to her paradoxical, mysterious nature. She remains beyond definition." (Bob Sellers)

Reflections of the North Coast

More recently we have been focusing on producing art that reflects the wonderful area in which we live, including the feelings and flavors of "Old Town, Eureka," the marinas, and the boats on Humboldt Bay. Our intention is to infuse our art with feeling tone, color intensity and particular themes that go beyond normal reality. We use strong colors in our work to encourage the viewer's imagination.

Each art piece comes alive in our imagination before it ever finds its way onto canvas. We begin taking photos to reflect our ideas until we find just the perfect image or combination of images. Our love of vibrant coloration pushes us to infuse each piece with hues that take the art beyond that experienced in perceptual reality. Our originals include hours of painting, using natural media brushes and hand-painting with acrylics. All our prints are don with archival pigments on textured papers, linens and canvas. Our prints are museum quality (giclee) and expected to last 80 plus years under normal conditions and away from direct sunlight.

Copies of our original work are available for licensing or purchase. Our purchasing process is fully explained in the order link. Credit cards are accepted only by phone.

We are members of the Redwood Arts' Association and past members of Old Town Art Gallery and the Humboldt Arts Council in Eureka. Donna is also a member of the Eureka Art & Culture Commission. We have enjoyed participating in Arts' Alive each month and exhibiting our work in Eureka and Arcata the past few years. We have exhibited in many juried fine art and photography shows and have won awards. To find out where our art can be seen, visit our Exhibit page.
