Discover the artists who made this collection a reality.

 

 

Lollie Ortiz, Moon Galaxy Abstraction Series

 

 

Bold blues, greens, and yellows mingle together, creating abstract images rooted in the natural quality of their organic subjects. Lollie Ortiz, a San Francisco based designer produced a series of photo prints entitled Moon Galaxy Abstract, located in the lobby’s entrance. Combining her experience in graphics, design, photography, and fine art, Ortiz plays with her own personal forms of artistic expression in relation to contemporary art and wall decor. The muted colors and sense of movement visible in this series creates a serene contrast to the buzz located just steps from the lobby’s entrance.

Carl Yoshihara, Cascade (Deconstructed) and Cascade (Line Series)

 

 

Carl Yoshihara (born in Hiroshima, Japan) is a multi-media artists based in San Jose California. Not to be contained by one style or media, Yoshihara visualizes life as art and art as life. His role as an artist is to explore, discover, and connect it all together. These intersections are visible in the large vinyl wall works he executed for the Marriott’s corridors. Shades of blue and green lines intersect with one another, forming a web of intermingled digital imagery.
