Drawn from the Beverly Hills Art Show, the ACCA Senior Director has curated a select group of artists whose practices demonstrate singular approaches to material and form. The following artists are recognized for their distinctive contributions to the contemporary art landscape.
Anastasia Smolenscaya
My work is inspired by the landscapes and light of Southern California. Through soft, layered colors and simplified forms, I translate everyday scenes into emotional landscapes, spaces shaped by memory, feeling, and imagination.
Rather than literal representations, my paintings are interpretations of atmosphere and inner states. I create calm, dreamlike compositions that invite viewers to pause, breathe, and reconnect with a sense of warmth and belonging.
Based in Los Angeles, my practice reflects my ongoing exploration of place, identity, and emotional presence. Painting has become both my language and my way of grounding, a quiet dialogue between the outer world and inner experience.
Dave Krovblit
David Krovblit is a contemporary mixed-media artist whose work examines transformation, identity, and the tension between beauty and impermanence. Combining digital composition with hand-cut collage, painting, and sculptural layering, he creates richly dimensional works that merge vintage imagery, symbolism, and contemporary culture into complex visual narratives.
Originally trained as a photographer, Krovblit brings a meticulous eye for composition to a practice that blurs the boundaries between painting, collage, and relief sculpture. His work has been exhibited internationally and is held in private, corporate, and hospitality collections. Through a visual language that is both playful and thought-provoking, Krovblit invites viewers to consider the layered nature of memory, perception, and the human experience.
JP Greenwood
JP Greenwood is a fine art photographer based in San Clemente, CA. He originally began his career in commercial photography after graduating from Art Center College of Design in 2001 with clients including Vanity Fair Magazine, American Express, Anthem Blue Cross, and Travel & Leisure Magazine. He transitioned over to fine art photography in 2011 and since has accumulated collectors who admire his clean and straight forward minimal aesthetic worldwide. His permanent showroom is located at 151 Del Mar in San Clemente, CA.
Rebecca Plachte-Zuieback
A California-based textile collage artist and the founder of Sustainable For Good. Working intuitively with fabric and thread, she creates large-scale stitched landscapes that blur the line between painting and contemporary craft. Sourced from her sustainable design practice, her materials utilize reclaimed fragments too small to repurpose functionally but too meaningful to discard. Through intricate layering and machine stitching, these remnants are transformed into immersive, painterly worlds that reward slow looking. Exhibited across the United States, Rebecca’s work explores environmental interconnectedness, inviting curiosity and connection with the natural world.
Natalia Fedner
A Los Angeles–based couture designer, inventor, and artist, Natalia Fedner (@nataliafedner) creates work at the intersection of craftsmanship, technology, and performance. Born in Ukraine and trained at Parsons School of Design in New York and Paris, she refined her skills with Calvin Klein, Donna Karan, and Marc Jacobs before gaining acclaim for inventing her patented six-way stretch metal textile—worn by icons like Beyoncé, Jennifer Lopez, and Cardi B. Expanding beyond fashion, she now incorporates her signature material into sculptural works that explore movement, texture, and transformation, challenging traditional boundaries between art, design, and innovation.
