South Shore Boston artist Nikki Storer creates paintings inspired by the ocean, coastal landscapes, and the gardens surrounding her home. Blending realism with abstract elements, expressive brushwork, layered color, texture, and 24K gold leaf capture the light, movement, beauty, and emotional connection found in the natural world.

Samir Rakhmanov paints between realism and abstraction, not as opposing languages but as overlapping conditions of the same surface. Whether working from a landscape, still life, or figure, his goal is always the same: to construct an image that feels inevitable rather than merely descriptive.
