ARTIST’s "in residence"
In our ongoing attempt to showcase local artists - which was been somewhat ambushed by that COVID-thing -- we are delighted to show the work of local artists our gallery wall.
Muriel Ullman
Watercolors
Her work will be showcased on our gallery wall through April.
Loose 'n Lovely
Muriel Schmalberg Ullman painted this group of watercolors, small, square, loose + free, at various kitchen tables and porches. Only a vineyard-scape was done, easel and all in rural southwest France, several summers ago, where the family has a summer place near a small village. The artist is a long time resident of Sausalito. She finds beauty and inspiration in her surroundings.
Gina Amador Oil Paintings "Home & Abroad"
Her work will be showcased on our gallery wall through January
Gina has a BA in Graphic Design and Packaging from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. She has also taken art courses at Parsons in Paris and the International School of Painting, Drawing and Sculpture in Todi, Italy. For 31 years she was an award-winning creative director/product developer at The Republic of Tea.
She has always searched for ways to be present and to slow down time. Plein air painting gives her the ability to be truly present – to capture a moment in time and interpret it in her own way. Most or all of her paintings are created on site, before light and shadows change, with details done later in her tudio. Her painting travels have taken her to vineyards in Italy, olive orchards in Spain and lavender fields in Provence.
She finds her home base in Marin County equally inspiring , with dramatic oaks, golden hills and ever-changing bay weather.
We are delighted to introduce the work of Sausalito artist and photographer Russ Eddy whose work will be showcased through August.
Marin nature artist and photographer, Russ Eddy, is best known for creating large, life- like images of trees. His work is reminiscent of Audubon drawings, bringing the viewer into the very forests and meadows where the trees stand – bridging the gap between the stark reality of a gallery and the natural landscapes described through his lens. Russ is schooled in art history & landscape photography.
His work will be showcased on our gallery wall through August. Join us for an opening reception for his show on Wednesday, July 12th, 6pm.

Elizabeth Needham
Elizabeth Needham, an accomplished portrait photographer, has captured evocative black & white portraits of the Marin Humane Pen Pals program which is a tribute to rehabilitation and the healing power of animals. The Pen Pals program takes dogs from the shelter who need extra care and training to live with specially selected inmates at San Quentin prison where the canines are readied for adoption. It is a win-win program for all involved.
We are also featuring her portraits of shelter dogs that were up for adoption. Proceeds from the sale of her portraits go to Marin Humane. The photos will be on display at our shop through mid-April.

Kay Carlson
In our ongoing attempt to showcase local artists, we are delighted to now have the work of Kay Carlson on our gallery wall.
Kay is a California plein air colorist in the impressionist tradition, creating an experience of visual drama when light transforms color. Her oil paintings are inspired by the Bay Area, northern California landscape, the Sausalito waterfront, and the Napa-Sonoma wine country as well as her travels.
Lucinda Eubanks
Some artists travel great distances to find inspiration for their art. Lucinda has always had a view from which to paint. She has lived on all three of the U.S. Virgin Islands, in the Napa Valley, CA, and now in Sausalito, CA.
“I have been fortunate to have lived amidst so many beautiful subjects that I could paint in either watercolor or oil. The vistas from above Sausalito looking out towards San Francisco Bay, the endless rows of vines in Napa Valley, or the turquoise waters of the Caribbean— in places like these inspiring views are unlimited.”
Thirty years ago, her career began with painting the narrow streets of St. Croix, and showcasing her work in a local gallery. Since, Lucinda has owned two galleries, served as resident artist for Robert Mondavi Winery, Caneel Bay, St. John and The Ritz-Carlton, St. Thomas (where most rooms displayed her work) and was commissioned to paint some of the artwork displayed at Peter Island Resort. Her art has also been featured in many publications, wine labels, and on The Today Show, and Law and Order.
Lucina Eubanks
In 1997 she added another aspect to her career: art teacher. Lucinda began offering watercolor classes to those staying at Caneel Bay and The Ritz-Carlton tutoring everyone from 5 years old to 97 years old. So many of her students thought they could never paint. Lucinda thrives on introducing people to their inner artist by taking the fear out of painting and making it fun.
