Nick Robles, a Brooklyn based artist, is dedicated to making quality limited edition objects while keeping a childlike curiosity for adventure and a playful view of life. Constantly experimenting with new techniques and materials, Nick employs a variety of mediums to create his very original work. Nick’s hand-dyed printed textiles, prints, drawings and photography reflect his world travels and his interest in integrating new processes into his work. A three week visit to Africa this fall appears in his most recent Technicolor Dino photographs and will surely impact other work to come.

Anna Robles is a ceramic artist who lives and works in Redlands. Anna’s functional and decorative ceramic pieces are strongly influenced by her interest in Mexican folk art and the many plant forms in the garden outside her home studio. Anna uses terracotta clay to hand-build elements and slip-cast organic forms to create uniquely decorated utilitarian pieces. Using low-fire, food safe slips and glazes, Anna intricately decorates each platter, bowl or vase with patterns of brightly colored forms inspired by the folk art she loves and the world around her.

For 30 years Mary Grinyer has worked in various mediums leading to a passion for ceramics, mixed media, jewelry and printmaking. She loves to experiment with textures, shapes, and colors. Many of the same tools are used to create texture in clay and prints. In printmaking the heart and the interweaving of people, the web of life has been a major theme. Now, in ceramics, the practical use of art in the form of bowls, vases, and bottles is dominant although she is now studying sculpture in clay. The subtle variances in color add to the shape of the clay. The glazes lead to unexpected results just as the pressure of the press can alter a print and add to the art form. This surprise effect is part of the fascination for her in printing and ceramics.

He currently builds pots at his Earth Pottery studio in Beaumont, California and fires his pots at Silica Studios in Palm Springs.

Linda Willason has been an artist here in Redlands for over five and a half years. Her artistic journey began quite by accident, when she accepted a friend's ticket for a painting event through the Orange Conservancy. It was the "Parties for the Necklace" pastel painting event that set in motion a future packed full of art shelves and art shows! She immediately fell in love with art, specifically in the field of pastel painting.

Linda started primarily painting landscapes and animals. After combining her passion for pastels with her passion for Redlands, her art slowly changed. Although she'll paint a variety of subjects, she focuses primarily on Redlands and it's iconic buildings, scenery, and history.

She is a member of the Redlands Art Association, and an award winning artist in the annual Multi Media Mini Show.

Linda participates in many local art shows and was the featured artist at the Banning Art Association this past August. She has a solo art exhibit at Augie's coffee shop this November and December, and can be contacted at [email protected]

In preparation for the open studios tour on Dec. 2nd, we will be sharing the bios of each artist. Today's artist is Brad Willason. Willason has lived in California all his life. Raised and attending school in Riverside, he achieved a Bachelor degree in biology and chemistry from the University of California San Diego, moving to Redlands in 1999. He has always been a creator and even designed and personally built a custom triangular shaped home. After spending over 2 decades in medical sales, he has retired from corporate life to “work” in his new endeavor of unique metal and wood artistry. He currently lives in a South Redlands home and creates his art pieces in several outdoor areas there. They include a metal sculpting/welding area, and wood frame construction area. The metal images are cut through 20 gauge steel with a plasma cutter, and the frames made from weathered, re-purposed fir and pine wood. Many of his works sold, and currently available, include depictions of the wonderful historic buildings and structures of Redlands. The Morey Mansion, The Asistencia Bell Tower and University of Redlands to name a few.
