Catherine Dellor, Botanical Art
April 28, 2023 - June 29, 2023
Catherine Dellor studied commercial art in college and ornamental horticulture. She now fulfills her love of the botanical world by trying to capture it with "plant portraits." She works mostly in watercolor but also likes colored pencil and pen and ink. Catherine holds a Master Certificate from the San Francisco Botanical Garden program under Mary Harden and sits on the board of the American Society of Botanical Artists. She has exhibited with groups at several local venues including Filoli, UC Berkeley Botanical Garden, Marin Art and Garden Center, and UCSF. She has three pieces in each of the Alcatraz and Mt. Tam Florilegiums, and her work is held in several private collections.

Rose Hagan, Glass Art
May 9, 2023 - June 29, 2023
After a successful career as an intellectual property lawyer, Rose Hagan turned her passion for art into a second career. She has always been entranced by glass - its ability to transmit and reflect light and color, its fragility and sometimes deceptive strength. She is especially interested in pushing the boundaries of the medium and playing off contrasts: mass and space, strength and fragility, solid and ethereal. She creates kiln-formed tableware, sculptures, wall art and furniture inspired by nature and color. Her work has been exhibited in galleries in California and Missouri and is in private and corporate collections throughout the U.S. as well as in Canada, Germany, and Israel.
