Peter Leventhal’s paintings blend narrative, tradition, and beauty. Rooted in the legacy of the great masters, his work captures both timeless stories and the emotional depth of lived experience.

Born in New York City in 1939 to immigrant parents, Peter Leventhal devoted his life to drawing, painting, printmaking, and sculpture, with more than 40 solo exhibitions to his name.

In his 60s, he left the city to settle in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, where he met his wife and lived until his passing in 2019. Despite living with Parkinson’s disease, when the tremors in his right hand became too severe to work with, he switched to his left hand and continued creating art for another ten years.

In his own words: “I proposed to myself to find a way to the aesthetic beauty of painted images, and I wanted my work to emulate the ample, complex construction of the art of the past—figurative, narrative, and elegant.”

Clearly, he lived by those words.

Keith Miller was born in 1949 in Canada but has spent much of his life abroad. At first traveling and working in Europe and S.E.Asia in the 1970’s and 80’s, he later settled in the Mexican town of San Miguel de Allende where he continues to live today.

He has exhibited in his native Canada as well as in the United States, the U.K. and in Mexico.

George Krause is an American photographer, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 1937. Krause studied at the Philadelphia College of Art where he explored painting, sculpture and photography. It wasn’t until his career in the US Army in the late 50’s that he began his full-time venture in documentary photography. Segregated neighborhoods in South Carolina were his main subjects, documenting the racial limitations of a community.

After his military service, Krause became the first photographer recipient of the Prix de Rome and Fulbright/Hays grant. He went on to be awarded two Guggenheim Fellowships and three separate grants from the National Endowment for the Arts.

The photographers before him that have influenced Krause in his artistic endeavors are the classic philosophers of photography as Cartier-Bresson and Strand. The work he was producing began to shift from documentary to a more dream like view that let the audience interpret. His work seeks to observe and question the human condition. Though his work is formally classic, his subject matter stretches to fantasy and emerges within the realm of surrealism. With traditional photography medium he has harnessed contemporary ideals.

The artwork of Krause has been extensively published, exhibited and collected. His photography can be seen internationally in gallery collections as the Art Institute of Chicago, Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, D.C. Texas is now his home where Krause continues to make new and impactful photographic work.

Paul’s paintings reflect the deft hand of an architect who celebrates the bold and mysterious effects of color and dramatic lighting. His passion for urban landscapes such as Baltimore’s working harbor, Manhattan cityscapes and the rustic, colonial beauty of his San Miguel de Allende, Mexico collection portray a tangible sensitivity to form, movement, and light.

Cissy’s focus on a unique approach to portraits, through an astonishing palette of color and texture, has earned her both praise and a faithful following. Her larger-than-life portraits depict strong personalities in colorful and flowing clothes that delight the senses and evoke curiosity.

Gordon Morris has been drawing and creating images for most of his life. As a child in Mozambique he and his brothers began to play drawing and concept games to entertain themselves in a non television world.

He moved to Canada and eventually graduated from the Ontario College of Art with a degree in illustration. He then worked doing airbrush images for the CBC national news program the Journal. There he learned to use some of the first computer paint programs.

I never envisioned living an artist’s life. But visions change. In 2019, it was art that drew me to move from Northern California to beautiful San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. And after years of admiring (and buying) others’ work, the urge to create struck!
