Elly Simmons
January 1, 2005 through January 30, 2005
San Francisco Bay Area artist Elly Simmons (America, b. 1955) works with a wide variety of material, including paint, pastel, mosaic, and lithographic stone. Her work is shaped by the joyous symbols of the art of the Americas, her own Jewish culture, the commentary of political artists such as Ben Shahn, and by the rich visual diversity of San Francisco Bay Area cultures. Elly paints her love and exuberance towards life. She paints not only what brings her happiness, but also what moves her to sorrow or to anger. She paints to protest injustice, but also to celebrate the beauty of existence.
Elly lives with her lively and creative daughter, Maralisa in the town of Lagunitas, California, giving her access to both the urban cultures of San Francisco and the Berkeley Oakland East Bay, as well as the beauty and community spirit of West Marin. This mix of environments and neighborhoods contributes to her strong compelling imagery.
