“Instant Bliss”
18 x 24 inches
Nihonga painting on board
2017
One of the paintings kozy made for our 2017 exhibition “The Golden State” at Greg Escalante’s Gregorio Escalante Gallery in Los Angeles. kozy was exploring the use of traditional Japanese painting medium and techniques for this series of paintings about our Los Angeles life. “Instant Bliss” touches on things we turn to for a quick outlet for relief - from stress, from pain, or whatever else - personified by a baby goat (due to kozy’s obsession with watching goat videos) and opium poppies from our garden (due to, well, opiates of course).

“RIP Puffin”
18 x 24 inches
Nihonga painting on board
2017
Created for our 2017 exhibition at the late Greg Escalante’s Los Angeles Gallery for our double exhibition “The Golden State”. Purchased by one of our favorite collectors, Eric Ayzenberg.
Kozy made this painting of some of our friends’ chickens from their homestead in Santa Cruz, CA. Unfortunately the hen on the left, Puffin, was later eaten by a coyote. Rest in peace, Puffin! We recently went to visit them again and they currently have 3 ducks, 7 turkeys, and 29 chickens!!!
