Revisiting the move<div>Wow! I found this DRAFT of a post from 5 years ago, never published. Putting it out there in the world now, as I like how this marks a moment in time. </div><div>So, here it is, our transition from West Coast life to East Coast life. </div><div>Let's just say that I've settled in and have been very productive during this time in life and the studio. Follow me on IG for the most current happenings<a href="https://www.instagram.com/gisellegautreau.artist/"> https://www.instagram.com/gisellegautreau.artist/</a></div><div>****</div><div><br /></div>So many things happen in a year.<br />
<br />
I've moved back to the East Coast. We're now back in Virginia... Charlottesville to be exact. In some ways it's like a homecoming. D and I lived here quite some time ago when he was a grad student at UVA. At that time I kept various jobs and maintained a studio at the McGuffey Art Center, a wonderful artist-run space near the historic downtown mall. I was such a kid then! Early 20's. But I found my art community then, and I'm finding it now. While we were getting ready to move across country, I went ahead and applied for membership at McGuffey. I was told there was a long waiting list for studios. Somehow everything came together last summer. We got the house we wanted & my kids got into the schools they wanted. And as we drove across country, I got a call that informed me that not only was I accepted as a member of McGuffey, that there was a studio waiting for me. <br />

<br />
As you can imagine, it's been a long and time-consuming process. The decision to move. The process of getting our California house ready for the market and making our goodbyes to our friends and community of almost 10 years. The endless packing and purging of extra things. Kids finishing their school year with all of this happening. Packing up my studio. <br />
<br />
And then there was the starting up of our lives on this coast. The unpacking. The settling into our new home, new community, new logistics. I moved into my new studio, but it's taken some time to get into the swing of things. <br />
<br />
I like things calm and stable to be productive. Let's just say that 2016 was not the most productive year for me in the studio. Yet... I made new work! Part of me is still informed and enamored of the spectacular landscape of the West coast... and I'm just over the moon excited to get reacquainted with the East Coast again. <br />

I'm happy to say that this painting found a home with new collectors after being auctioned at our local school fundraising event. I loved making this painting specifically for this particular event, which is near and dear to me. I wanted to make a work that captured something of the essence of where we live. </div>

<br />
I'm pleased to announce that my solo exhibition, In Smoke and Fog, opens today at <a href="https://www.hangart.com/" target="_blank">Hang Art Gallery</a> in San Francisco. This new body of work reflects my exploration of the landscape through observing light, color and atmosphere. This time inspiration comes from my fascination with the phenomenon of wildfires. <br />
<br />
Please join me for the Artist Reception on January 8th, from 6-8 pm.<br />
The exhibit runs from January 1 to January 15, 2015. <br />
<br />

My work will be featured in two upcoming shows. Both are at <a href="https://www.hangart.com/" target="_blank">Hang Art Gallery,</a> in San Francisco. <br />
<br />
First up is Same, Same But Different, an exhibit at Hang Art. The exhibit will showcase the work of gallery artists. The work is unified by scale, as all pieces in the show will measure 16x16" <br />
<br />
Next will be my solo show at Hang Art. I'm very busy in the studio right now finishing up this new body of work. I'm planning on having 10-15 new paintings.... just in time for the New Year. <br />
<br />
Openings at <a href="https://www.hangart.com/" target="_blank">Hang Art</a> are the first Thursday of each month. <br />
<br />
Please stay tuned for upcoming details and images of the new paintings. <br />
<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
This group of paintings were a commission to create my own version of the four elements: Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Measuring 8x8", each painting is oil on birch panel. The end result were a group of paintings which have a distinctly West Coast influence. I chose to relate the theme to my own personal experience and observations. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Earth painting was inspired by the rich agricultural land of Monterey County, specifically the vast strawberry fields in Watsonville. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Circling honeybees were my approach for the Air painting. I presently keep bees on my Santa Cruz Mountain property. I think of them in correlation to our West Coast agriculture. </div>

California wildfires are the inspiration for Fire. Plumes of smoke have their own particular beauty that I find fascinating. </div>

The Water painting was a reprise of an image that I've explored before in my work. The clear and intense blue of Lake Tahoe's water was my inspiration and source. </div>

I really enjoyed this commission. In fact, one of these paintings has influenced a new body of work. Stay tuned for studio updates and news of upcoming exhibits. </div>

My painting, Up Through the Vineyard, will be auctioned at an upcoming Gala fundraising event that benefits our local public schools. This event is important to me, my family and our community. This will be my 6th Gala event, and the 6th painting that I've donated. Each year I try to come up with an image that feels connected to this place where we live. </div>

About the painting: Among the many benefits of living in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California, this area is also known for it's wonderful wineries. I've always wanted to create a painting inspired by one of our local wineries, and the Gala was my perfect excuse. I chose<a href="http://www.lomaprietawinery.com/" target="_blank"> Loma Prieta Winery</a> specifically because of their special connection to our local school and community. It doesn't hurt that they are North America's largest producers of Pinotage ... a particularly delicious wine.<br />
<br />
The Gala is set for October 4th. <br />
