This Friday I have a bright and colorful treat for you in the form of 20x200 darling, Jennifer Sánchez. I've asked Miss Sánchez to turn her starry eyes towards our archives to chose her number ones.

Owl No. 1 by Lisa Congdon
I love the colors and especially all the little lines that make up this wonderful owl.

Squeeze by Gary Petersen
Really, his work is quite beautiful. His subtle shifts in color can give me inspiration for days. Please do check out his website - his work breaths and expands, but also calms.

Contact High by Jeff Lewis
The freedom and looseness of this print is what attracts me - and well, yes, so do the ovals and circles! It seems that he never runs out of color variations for them. The interesting layers, splotches and drips of paint are perfect eye candy.

Well-being 2 by Valerie Roybal
I want to see her work live! I don't know what's happening and that's part of why I like it. The shapes she cuts her material into are very odd to me, they look like the left overs, but look closely and you'll see hands, bits of leaves, writing, etc - there's always something new to find.

Praia Piquinia by Christian Chaize
Look at that gradation of color from surf to sea, and the multicolored umbrellas that dot the sand! A perfect balance of color and form is created. I was fortunate to see his work at the gallery and the tonal richness is amazing!

amnh #10 by Joseph O. Holmes
"Your photos aren't tweaked in photoshop?!!"
When I met Joseph at the 20x200 Collectors Confab at White Rabbit he told me that his photos are un-retouched my jaw dropped. Those are peoples' real silhouettes! I like this series, there's a sense of humor I can appreciate--being watched without knowing it.

Mossball by Don Hamerman
I like it when it seems that someone has an obsession - especially an odd one like rotting or disintegrating baseballs. I happen to own this print and love it. I like to call it a chia baseball. That pink background really brings out the green in the moss.

The Mountain of Tomorrow's Sunrise by William Crump
Here's some of that lovely white space I was talking about. The quality of his line reminds me of etchings, and those bands of color at the bottom are gorgeous. I've also seen William's work live and it's quite lovely.

AA, 2007 by Jacob Magraw
This guy has to have a great sense of humor, right? What the hell is going on here? Looks like a shoe?! On what planet?!
The colors are great--acidic yet there are some very nice blues and pinks in there. It's a wasteland of a stump that I want to climb around.

Cul de Sac by Michelle Weinberg
The bold use of color and the graphic quality of her work is what I like. The patterns as backdrops and the inclusion of words are fantastic. It's like a cartoon of the feelings, colors and sounds in a neighborhood.
