Connecting artists with art enthusiasts in the SF bay area. Open Studios first, second and third weekend of MAY (11 am – 5 pm) Saturdays and Sundays

Sheila Gamble Dorn is a visual artist working in f Sheila Gamble Dorn is a visual artist working in fiber, paint, kelp, and mixed-media. She has always been drawn to the natural environment and the ocean as subjects for her art. Several of her fiber pieces were done while living in Hawaii on the island of Kauai, where the giant leaves that grow everywhere became a big part of the fiber pieces she created there. She has also done tapestry woven commissions for banks and the State of California Art in Public Buildings Program.

She has an MA in Environmental Education with an emphasis on environmental art and a "Sense of Place." She recently worked with over 100 students to create informative art for three "Totem Poles" on Linda Mar Beach. This project was five years in the making and is meant to inform visitors to Pacifica beaches as to what lives here and how to protect them.

Guna is drawn to the subtle beauty of the natural Guna is drawn to the subtle beauty of the natural world, capturing local landscapes through plein air painting. Working in oil and acrylic, she blends observation with personal interpretation, using expressive brushwork and employing both classic and contemporary techniques to paint various subjects, especially florals and landscapes, in impressionist styles using bold colors.

Her artistic journey began early with formal training in India, where she developed a strong foundation in various techniques and styles and a love for working across multiple media. After years devoted to a career in science, returning to painting felt like reconnecting with an essential part of herself. She has exhibited her work in several solo and juried group shows in India and the United States, earning multiple awards for her contributions to the art community. She is actively involved in local art organizations, serving on the board. Additionally, she has taught art to students of all levels, has been featured on television shows, and her paintings are displayed in local galleries.

For LaRhee Webster, painting is personal. She pain For LaRhee Webster, painting is personal. She paints the things she loves and the places she wants to be, drawn to her subjects by a strong visual and emotional connection. Every painting tells a story, and her goal is to share that story with others. She celebrates nature through her art.

Webster's subject matter reflects a life-long love of the California hills, coasts, and the ranch animals she grew up with. She paints in oils, both en plein air and in her Palo Alto studio. She has exhibited in juried shows for the San Jose Museum of Art, New Museum Los Gatos, the California Art Club, the Pacific Art League, and the Santa Cruz Art League and other venues throughout the state. Her paintings are enjoyed across the US and internationally.

Steve grew up on a farm in Connecticut and has alw Steve grew up on a farm in Connecticut and has always loved the outdoors. As a youth, when he wasn't studying or working on computers, he spent his time hiking, biking, riding, and camping in New England and the Rockies. He moved to California for graduate school, then worked as a manager and consultant for tech companies. He began to explore the American West, gradually coming to appreciate its often rugged and austere beauty, so different from the East. Since then he has traveled and photographed around the U.S. and the world. His focus is on nature, especially landscapes and wildlife. We are all a part of this natural world and need that connection. He loves to capture and share it with others. His aim is to draw the viewer in through his images, creating a feeling of 'virtual presence' which is both artistic and natural. If his images help you feel that connection, then he has succeeded! He has exhibited at a number of galleries and shows and has received numerous awards in competitions.

Tara creates handbuilt ceramic sculptures through Tara creates handbuilt ceramic sculptures through slow, intuitive processes such as pinching, coiling, and slab construction. Her work explores feminine embodiment alongside whimsical, nature-inspired forms, with imagery and symbols drawn almost entirely from the natural world. Woodland elements, organic textures, and natural motifs appear throughout her work, often carrying symbolic meaning related to growth, protection, presence, and transformation. Clay invites her into a listening relationship, where forms emerge through touch, attention, and trust in the process. Her practice is both tactile and contemplative, rooted in a spiritual curiosity that remains grounded in the body and the earth.

Meet Charles Boris, an artist who gives weathered, Meet Charles Boris, an artist who gives weathered, reclaimed wood a remarkable second life.

Inspired by forests, nature, and the character hidden beneath years of exposure, Charles works with reclaimed lumber and driftwood—stripping away weathered surfaces to reveal the grain, color, and history within. His approach allows the material itself to guide the final form, transforming found wood into thoughtfully designed contemporary pieces.

In this short interview, Charles talks about his distinctive style, his creative process, and what draws him to working with reclaimed old-growth wood.
