Local artist, Nancy Gray, presents Color with Love  a collection of heart paintings that thob with dynamic color and vibrancy.   Tapping into the versatile acrylic medium, the artist creates works that express her lifelong love affair with hearts. She collects them, she paints them and  enjoys sharing her hearts with special friends.   In that spirit, Gray  invited other gallery members to contribute heart paintings to ths month’s exhibit.  So this year, the Valentine spirit is expanding to a month of Love in the form of multiple works rendered “from the heart.”  Gray noted, “It’s a loving universe, and, for me, hearts are all about love.”

Art has always been Gray’s passion.  A native Texan, she grew up on its Gulf Coast.  Her art accolades started early when, as a second-grader, she won a brand new bike for her painting.  She began showing her work in Houston before moving to the Bay Area in 1997.  Gray exhibits in the region and joined the Upstairs Art Gallery in 2021.

The Staircase Showcase on the stairway presents  Willow Laland’s In Love with Sonoma, a collection that highlights the  local landscape and natural beauty, capturing the essence of wine country. Viewers  are engaged as these works elicit the senses with crystalline glasses of wine and freshly  baked bread.  The exhibit will also include works in fauve, a bright, surrealistic color polette.
