Hello all-- long time no see :  ) I haven't been officially on the Open Studios roster for a few years. Maybe next year. In the meantime, my studio (at the Atelier One in Graton) is always open by arrangement (Lisabee@sonic.net); I post more frequently to Facebook (under my name) & Instagram (@lisabeerntsenart); and my work can be seen at the Sebastopol Gallery on Main Street. Hope to catch up with you somewhere soon!

Holiday Sales 2021! December 4 & 5th in Graton (2860 Bowen St.)

 

Nature drawings-- Inktober and beyond!

I began this series of small, nature based watercolor drawings in October '19, as part of the online 'Inktober' daily challenge. As I found that the format & discipline suited me, I've continued into November & December (with somewhat less discipline. I'd like to try to keep it up yearround... a record of our Sonoma County seasons. Stay tuned

From the Summer Files

In summer, I often begin a series of smaller works on paper. It gives me more room to experiment and generate ideas than I feel with larger  work. Here's some of what this summer (2019) looked like.

Exhibition January 14-31st, 2019 in Santa Rosa

Where to find me

No, I'm not very active on blogs anymore...
I do post images of what's going on in the studio
pretty regularly now over on Instagram, username LisaBeerntsenArt (formerly lisakaebee-- that page is defunct!). Also on Facebook as Lisa Beerntsen -- (though not so much on the 'Art Business Page' because of Facebook's algorithms). You are welcomed to 'follow' me either place, and best way to contact me is  email:  Lisabee@sonic.net

Just a quick update after a long absence from the blogosphere: this summer I worked on a project called 50/50: in which almost 70 artists created 50 small works in 50 days.
