Latefa Noorzai b. 1960 Kabul, Afghanistan, has practiced at Creative Growth since 2012. Latefa creates bold portrait paintings inspired by her memories and a plethora of source materal. Her strong and stark outlines, rendered with immediacy, provide loose structure for the heavy and confident brush strokes that permeate her figures with dynamic expression and presence.
Dan Miller b. 1961 Castro Valley, California, has practiced at Creative Growth since 1992. Dan overdraws letters and words into multilayered masses that hover on the page and obliterate the ground. Each work contains signifiers of Dan's interest in objects like lightbulbs, sockets, paint, paper, and a synthesis of his surroundings.
Ron Veasey b. 1957 Las Vegas, Nevada, has practiced at Creative Growth since 1981. Ron's portraiture demonstrates his fundamental interest in the human for as a vehicle of color and line. At once graphic and sculpture, his figures are a distillation of the original gesture.
Donald Mitchell b. 1951 San Francisco, California, has practiced at Creative Growth since 1986. Donald's most recent work maintains the foundation of his characteristic anonymous figures, but has returned to large scale abstraction with late-career artist’s skill. Colorfields separate Mitchell’s human forms and demonstrate his extraordinary color sense and ability to create rich visual texture.
