Guest Artist MAY—Virginia Stella “In Her Garden” - Drawings, Prints, Photography
As a child, I went to church on Sunday mornings and often roamed the galleries of the Cleveland Art Museum in the afternoon. Other Sundays I spent in the parks gathering pods and leaves to play with. My early interest in mysticism, art and plants all came together as an adult. I have been an artist of earth and sky for many years. I use drawing and printing mediums and photography. The sacredness and beauty of the natural world and the wonder of the life cycle inspires my work. I have studied art at Dominican University and the Pacific School of Religion. I am co-ordinator of art exhibits at Marin General Hospital.
Guest Artist APRIL—The Dee Levin Collection “A Retrospective” Watercolor, Fiber Art, Paper Constructions
Dolores (Dee) Levin (1933-2008) was a well-known San Francisco artist whose work, until the 1980s, focused on weaving. She then broadened her studies into papermaking and watercolor painting. Her work was influenced by her world travels and studies in Chinese calligraphy and art. Never afraid to experiment, Dee’s work always had the stamp of her distinctive artistic originality. This collection of her work contains examples of her work which are now in the collections of her friends. Some is for sale. Proceeds from these sales will benefit the City College of San Francisco art department galleries.
