🌞✨ Mark Moore Fine Art invites you to explore the exclusive ARTSY online exhibition, “A Place Where We Are In The Sun,” by the talented artist Amy Elkins.
In her powerful series (2022-present), Elkins weaves a narrative that connects family archives, historical documents, and early Alta California maps, illuminating the stories of land loss, assimilation, and resilience amongst Indigenous, Mexican, and multiracial ancestors in Southern California. As an 8th generation Angeleno, her work reflects a deep introspection into the historical conditions inherent to the soil—all while highlighting original indigenous names for locations and plant life both native and introduced.
Elkins, an acclaimed visual artist and educator, tackles themes of gender, race, and identity through a lens that examines the influence of systemic structures—from colonization to power dynamics. Her thought-provoking approach oscillates between formal, conceptual, and documentary styles, inviting viewers to engage with her family’s complex history on Tongva/Gabrielino land.
📸 Discover Elkins’ captivating works that have graced international exhibitions and revered publications, and learn how her art challenges perceptions and fosters understanding about our shared histories.
Don’t miss this opportunity to delve into a narrative that is as enlightening as it is transformative. Join us in reflecting on the landscape of our past and present.

Mark Moore Fine Art is excited to unveil its latest online exhibition, “Allison Schulnik: Rejects, Misfits and their Landscapes – A Career Survey“. This exclusive ARTSY event showcases a curated collection of significant pieces spanning the past two decades of Schulnik’s career.
Allison Schulnik draws on historical images, outsider art traditions and holiday snapshots to construct paintings in which diverse subjects like naval battles, skulls, dying flowers, volcanoes, waterfalls and herds of wild horses become the subject for fantasy and imagination.
Schulnik is the daughter of an architect from the Bronx and a plein air painter from British Columbia, both of whom studied at Pratt Institute in the 1960’s. After studying and performing many forms of dance, including a long period of modern dance with Isaac’s, McCaleb & Dancers, she left San Diego for California Institute of the Arts. Combining the movement of dance with painting, Allison chose to study Experimental Animation and received her BFA in 2000. Her paintings have been exhibited internationally at venues including Mark Moore Gallery, Los Angeles, Black Dragon Society, Los Angeles, Bellwether Gallery, New York, Groeflin Maag Galerie, Basel, The Armory Show, New York, Rokeby Gallery, London, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Santa Monica Museum of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. She has completed two award-winning experimental animated 16mm films that played at many film festivals internationally. Schulnik was just selcted as one of the ONES TO WATCH by ART REVIEW, March 2008 (Issue 20) and was featured in the LA TIMES article that appeared December 2, 2007 on the “45 Painters Under 45 You Should Know” that included both Ali Smith and Allison Schulnik from the Mark Moore Gallery – both artists are featured on the cover of the CALENDAR Section – in which critic Christopher Knight selected both of the artists as part of the impressive and acclaimed core of young artists that “Help Make the L.A. Art Scene”. Allison Schulnik lives and works in Los Angeles.
Schulnik says, “The bulk of my paintings are about love, death and “end of the world” chaos. I see my canvases as a theater stage where a ballet or dance is performed — sometimes choreographed, sometimes free form and spontaneous. The compositions often depict epic scenes — high seas disasters, stampeding horses, fiery eruptions, fantastical dramas and wondrous landscapes, while still attempting to reflect simple, expressive moments amongst creatures, which directly relate to human-like conditions. More recently I have allowed my imagination to revel in its own world — where thickly-sculpted oils, historical fact and blatant fiction collide to form images of tragedy, farce, and raw beauty.”
