Dublin artist Chelsea Tikotsky has submitted her oil and acrylic on canvas painting “Setting Sun” for the 2025 PBS KVIE Art Auction, which is raising money for local public broadcasting in the Sacramento area amid reduced federal funding. 

“‘Setting Sun’ is an impressionistic waterscape inspired by an Indian summer evening I shared with my sister — warm air, a cool breeze from the bay, and a sense of being fully present. I wanted to capture that feeling and my connection to nature through water, trees, and light, using palette knife textures in crimson reds, yellows, and blues,” Tikotsky told the Pleasanton Weekly.

The art exhibition and online bidding end during this week, with the live auction following Friday through Sunday. Tikotsky’s piece, No. 36E, will be up during the “Landscapes” section of the live auction on Sunday (Oct. 5) at 2:30 p.m. Learn more at kvie.org/artauction.
