Gabe Leonard spent his early years in rural Wyoming, sketching wildlife and selling his drawings for one dollar. After earning his BFA from Columbus College in Ohio, Leonard honed his talents on the ultra-competitive Venice Beach boardwalk. Described as "Johnny Cash meets Quentin Tarantino," Gabe Leonard's original art and prints possess an intense cinematic quality combining the gestural brushwork of expressionism with the expert lighting and framing of a Hollywood cinematographer. His oils are cinematic, atmospheric and moody, revolving around outlaws, rugged noir characters to create narratives full of dramatic possibility. While his subjects and compositions belie a heavy influence of modern and contemporary cinema, Leonard's artistic style is rooted firmly in a European tradition. While he often breaks from academic restrictions with his loose brushwork and characteristic drips, he counts Rembrandt, Mucha, Klimt and Schiele as amongst his influences. Following a string of sell-out shows and acquisitions by high-profile collectors, Leonard has quickly become one of the most sought-after artists in the world. Whenever his work is up for sale, galleries, art enthusiasts and high-profile celebrities rush to buy his admirable art and paintings. Recent celebrity collectors include Quentin Tarantino, Charlie Sheen, and Rueben Fleischer. Leonard currently resides in Los Angeles. The exhibition will run from Oct 10 - Nov 5.

Many of us have heard this often-quoted Buddhist saying: “There is no way to happiness; happiness is the way.” Zen in the Art of Invention is a class about how writers can stay creatively vibrant and “unstuck” using the overlapping principles of both Zen Buddhism and Positive Psychology—the science and study of happiness and human flourishing. In this combined seminar/workshop, we’ll explore strategies for staying engaged with our creative work; for maintaining creative energy and inspiration in times of both flow and challenge; and for effectively braiding together our creative lives and our day-to-day lives so each can work to enrich the other. In the workshop portion of the class, participants will be invited to start applying the principles to their own creative practices and projects, as well as get customized, direct guidance from the instructor and share discoveries with the group. There is no way to creativity—creativity is the way.
