Sonoma Backroads Art Exhibit

Sonoma Backroads Art Exhibit at The Upstairs Art Gallery in Healdsburg

Local artist, Beverly Bird, presents Sonoma Backroads, a collection of works that explore the rich bounty of Sonoma’s natural beauty. Whether in acrylic, oil or watercolor, each painting presents a special aspect of the region’s backroad highlights. “Celebrating Armstrong Woods,” depicting a favorite scene in the State Park, fetes the park’s re-opening after the devastating fires of 2020. Looking down from the rolling west county hills, Sonoma’s dramatic coastline is highlighted in “View from Coleman Valley Road.” Several pieces feature Sonoma’s iconic vineyards. “We may not have the Eiffel Tower, but Sonoma’s natural attributes are a constant inspiration – life is good when such beauty is at your doorstep,” stated Bird.

Art was always key in the artist’s life. Studying art throughout her school years, she received a degree in art from CSU Long Beach. After a fulfilling career in government, she retired to Sonoma County to seriously focus on painting. A seasoned participant in the Art at the Source Open Studio program, Bird exhibits throughout the region.

Meet the Artist: Beverly Bird will be hosting the gallery August 19 and August 26 11-6.

The Staircase Showcase presents Willow LaLand’s A Taste of Wine Country, a collection of small works that capture the beauty of Sonoma Wine Country. “August Vines” showcases the vines rich and varied colors. The artist’s mastery of detail and lifelike representation led one collector to note that hanging her painting was like installing a window. Her wine glass pieces show such depth of color and intricate glass reflections, one can almost taste the vintage.
