New Bronze Artist Edgar Allan Toh

Edgar Allan Toh was born in the Philippines and migrated to the US with his family as a child. As a young student, Edgar would sit in class doodling sketches of his chemistry teacher stuck inside a glass beaker. Edgar received a bachelor’s degree in biology and chemistry, while a college athlete. However, he continued his pursuit of art by painting wall murals and banners for his dormitory and campus events.

As fate would have it, Edgar broke his leg playing sports, so he focused on art as a way to fill his time. Edgar finds inspiration from things that make him smile.  Whether it’s a young lady swinging on a donut or dancing with a gummy bear, his playful combination is reminiscent of the Pin-up girls from WWII posters.

Recently, Edgar expanded his body of work with bronze sculptures that add “life” to his subjects by making them 3D.

New Bronze Artist Barbara Nagel

Barbara has a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Architecture from the Southern California Institute of Architecture, as well as a minor in Fine Art.

Barbara passion for sculpting accelerated with a figurative sculpting class taught by renowned artist Marton Varo, a Hungarian stone sculptor, known for his public installations at Fort Worth Symphony Hall and Laguna Beach Museum of Art. This experience motivated Barbara to become an apprentice stone carver at the Claudio Palla Studio in the village of Pietrasanta, Italy, world famous for marble and bronze sculpting.

After her apprenticeship, Barbara entered her work in juried shows, including the Pageant of the Masters and San Diego Trees show, where she won 2nd place. Barbara’s artwork is on display at the Women’s Pavilion of Hoag Hospital, as well as other venues. She has also performed solo shows at Myers Gallery and Studio Gallery.

New Ceramic Artist Jan Schachter

Jan Schachter enjoys making pots for everyday use; each is a subtle variation of a form – usually created in a series. Jan is a perfectionist (as much as the process allows) and she is constantly in search of the perfect surface and ideal form while striving to create pots that have life and vitality. Jan loves having the opportunity to fire in a wood kiln and make special work for that to take advantage of the ash & heat.Working in clay is an endless technical challenge. Perhaps her training as a microbiologist has helped provide her with the patience required to not just physically create her work, but to push through those technical challenges and the unending variables to create the work she envisions. Jan is also a very practical person, which leads her to primarily make pots for use.
