California Landscape
Paintings and Prints
Kathleen Lipinski has worked with images of the California landscape in painting and printmaking for over forty years, referencing her own photographs, sketches and memories to create oil paintings up to 14 feet wide. Her art combines a love of nature with her dedication to realism, attention to detail and ability to capture the quality of light. Local hikes, Sierra backpacks, raft trips and wilderness travel inspire her work.
Kathleen's shows include the deYoung Open 2020 and 2023, Triton Museum, Morris Graves Museum and Jenkins-Johnson Gallery in San Francisco and New York. Her work has been featured at Marin/Scapes, on the cover of Marin Magazine and the Mill Valley and Sausalito Arts Festival posters. Kathleen and her husband, artist Steve Emery, are the 2015 recipients of the Marin Cultural Treasure Award.
San Anselmo studio visits are welcome by appointment. www.emerylipinski.com
Ian Day is a Southern California-based digital artist and photographer. Originally from Omaha, Nebraska, his mother was an artist who encouraged his early passion for drawing. He began his art education at age six, taking lessons at the Joslyn Art Museum where his mother taught. His advanced training includes a BFA from the School of Art at University of Iowa and an MFA from Northwestern University, where he was a teaching assistant to Jack Burnham and was appointed a post-graduate instructor for several years.
Following graduate school, Ian turned to art direction for commercial and corporate clients. His career evolved into producing and directing film and video for Fortune 500 companies. His independent productions were featured in several film festivals and his screenplays received competitive awards and recognition from such artists as Robert Altman and Raymond Carver. In more recent years, Ian served on the Mill Valley Arts Commission, volunteered at the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito and is currently curating art exhibits for the Throckmorton Theatre Gallery in Mill Valley.
Ian works primarily in the digital art and photography realm, although he has past experience as a painter and printmaker. More recently he has begun experimenting with encaustics, utilizing some of his photographic images in the process. His foray into infrared photography has yielded a fresh direction for his engagement in the visual arts. Ian’s work has been exhibited throughout the Midwest and West Coast.
