Artists Rosana Castrillo Diaz, Doug Glovaski, Ema Harris-Sintamarian, Darren Waterston, and Pamela Wilson-Ryckman have been selected to serve as the 2007 - 2008 artists-in-residence at the ICA Print Center.

Romanian-born Ema Harris-Sintamarian is a San Jose-based artist. She recently graduated with an MFA from San Jose State University and was the faculty pick for the ICA exhibition NextNew2007. In her latest body of work, Sintamarian evaluates our consumer culture and its influence on politics. Coupling images she culls from magazine advertisements with a complex environment of her own devising, Harris-Sintamarian examines contemporary American human behavior. She is represented by Jack Fischer Gallery, San Francisco and has exhibited her work nationally and in Europe. Ema completed her residency in September 2007. Prints will be available in early 2008.

The delicate beauty of Pamela Wilson-Ryckman's watercolors stands in stark contrast to her depictions of turmoil and disaster. Her brutalized landscapes with images of war and destruction are washed in pale pastel colors that create an intentional ambiguity in the work. Wilson-Ryckman's residency is in conjunction with her participation in the ICA's exhibition The Landscape of War this November. She is represented by Gallery Paule Anglim, San Francisco. Pamela completed her residency in October 2007. Prints will be available in early 2008.

Darren Waterston is internationally recognized for his unique blend of abstraction and precise attention to representational detail. He draws inspiration for his work from a wide range of sources - a fascination with the natural sciences, an appreciation for a variety of religious and philosophical beliefs (both Eastern and Western), and a long-standing interest in the genre of landscape painting. In November, 2006 Waterston transformed the ICA into an apocalyptic journey with his mural, Was and Is Not and Is to Come. Waterston is represented in Northern California by Haines Gallery, San Francisco. Darren will be in residence in January 2008.

Doug Glovaski's residency coincides with the opening of his long-anticipated mid-career retrospective. His large-scale, intensely colored abstract paintings and works on paper are based on childhood memories and current-day observances and experiences that evoke an intense sense of place and mood. Glovaski was born in Saginaw, Michigan and moved to the Bay Area when he was seven where he has remained ever since. His paintings are included in numerous public, corporate and private collections throughout the country. Glovaski is a recipient of the prestigious Pollack-Krasner grant and is represented by Dolby Chadwick Gallery, San Francisco and Sears Peyton Gallery, New York Doug will be in residence in February 2008.

Rosana Castrillo Diaz is interested in the fine line that separates representation from abstraction. She creates artworks that manage to be both at once. She transforms the overlooked moments, places, and objects into the sublime and ethereal. Castrillo Diaz was born and raised in Asturias, a small province on the northern coast of Spain. She received her BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1996 and an MFA from Mills College in 2003. She was one of four recipients of the 2004 San Francisco Museum of Modern Art SECA award. She is represented by Anthony Meier Fine Arts in San Francisco. Rosana will be in residence in April 2008.
