as a sample of "Fresh Works," here is a brand new painting by Karen Leoni
For Iris Sabre plein air painting is a bold and daring adventure. She is never sure what the outcome will be. It is this uncertainty that gives the painting spontaneity and makes the process new and different every time it is undertainken. When plein air painting Iris is totally "in the zone," working rapidly on a large format with oil paints, she completes a work on site with bold strokes and vivid colors. "You have to love it," she says..."to love being out there on the edge of the cliff over the sea or the high hillside painting. This is paradise."
Born and raised in San Francisco, she received her bachelor's degree in painting at SF State University, as well as two teaching credentials, Multiple Subjects and Fine Art. She has continued to take workshops and study with local painters Randall Sexton, Pam Glover, and Van Waldron. A member of the California Art Club, her work is also shown at the San Francisco Women Artists Gallery and the Marin Society of Artists Gallery in San Rafael.
