San Francisco artist Lisa Demb continues her “Happy Armageddon” and “Margaritaville” series with further work, again experimenting with gentle transitional shading and different color schemes.

Each set of color evokes slightly different feelings in many viewers, and Demb has created a personal gallery where the multiple renderings of the similar images hang next to and flow into one another. No one knows exactly how the ‘end of the world’ or the future will look, and the variety calls attention to the idealized, conceptual images which appear for every color scheme while drawing viewers in through the visual brilliance.

Recently I had the privilege of visiting her home artist studio, and we discussed her creative process over Beethoven sonatas and warm tea. For Demb, pencil drawing is one current manifestation of a lifelong creative journey and a means to explore personal questions of faith and destiny.

Lisa Demb welcomes comments, questions, requests, and any feedback regarding her artwork. She also produces custom-designed stationery, which you may order directly from her. You may write to Ms. Demb at 140 Jones Street, San Francisco, CA 94102 or call 415-776-2115 and ask for her by name.
