Elly Simmons
January 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.
