It’s Only Rock & Roll

Tonya Cameron started painting faces in the fashion industry over three decades ago. She has worked in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Miami, New York City and now lives in the Midwest. In 2020, the world shut down and so Tonya picked up a different kind of brush and paint and looked to her first love for inspiration, rock & roll. A lifelong fan of rock and the people that make it, her first painting was Stevie Nicks and it took off from there. Now with over 55 musicians under her belt, she is the featured artist at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Impressions

Impressions features a few of the continent’s most highly regarded contemporary impressionist painters, Samir Sammoun and John C. Traynor. Like the many Impressionist painters that came before them, both artists work with loose, expressive brushstrokes and focus on the effects of light. A colorist by nature, Sammoun uses a rich palette to create Mediterranean landscapes. His rhythmic gestures and delicate touches make the viewer feel as if they are experiencing the painting. Traynor is a skillful painter of every genre often depicting life around him whether it is nature, a still life, or the people. These everyday scenes allow Traynor to connect with the viewer sparking a memory from their past or a moment in their life.
