About the Artists
Keith Cranmer is a visual artist in paper and metal media – including etching, hand engraving in metals for intaglio printmaking, and wood engraving for relief printmaking. Representational figurative drawing/painting in graphite, gouache and ink are continued interests.
Since the early seventies, Kenjilo Nanao has been a quiet force in the San Francisco Bay Area school of art. Nanao first became known for his delicate and surreal lithograph still lifes with finely graded grounds of color, reminiscent of Japanese Shunga prints. In the early eighties he began to focus more attention on painting. His work is included in many museum and public collections.
Gail Chadell Nanao paints figures in an emotional and immediate landscape. She works in her studio in Berkeley. She has exhibited widely and her work is included in museum and public collections.
Peter Rutledge Koch, artist, writer, printer, and publisher, was born in Missoula, Montana in 1943—a genuine war baby—and is still alive and practicing in Berkeley where he has now lived half his life.
Ellen Heck is a fine art printmaker in Berkeley. A long-term artist-in-residence at Kala Art Institute, Ellen's figurative drypoints present narrative themes with an art historical background. She is represented by five galleries across the country.
Stan Washburn, at one time known as California's foremost 16th Century artist, has advanced more recently into the mid-20th Century, Bay Area style of painterly, low-concept images of daily life. More or less.
Rigel Stuhmiller is a printmaker and illustrator based in Berkeley. She is inspired by the East Bay's parks and open spaces, as well as her many years of work on the Chino Nojo Vegetable Farm. In her work, she tries to capture the beauty, wonder and happiness she finds in the world.
David Lance Goines is a printer, graphic designer and writer whose work largely celebrates his beloved Berkeley.
