Yvette Molina is a regular (if you will) at Oakland, CA’s Johansson Projects’ gallery, although her work has been all the way from Uruguay to France to Hawaii. I happened across her most recent exhibit at Johansson Projects just this past weekend and became fascinated. Her work is inspired by a deep fascination with plant life, in which she pulls from extensively from her collection of living specimans. Her signature is to paint upon aluminum which gives her paintings a rich and unique texture and glow. Yvette’s bio mentions her move into the public art work… I can’t wait to see what this form of art for her will look like.

Here are some of Yvette’s other paintings from her web site.
