Postcard for Linda and Grace Exhibition, Nov 18 & 19, 2023

Linda and Grace is an exhibition that includes contemporary oil painter Linda Sorensen and famous Sebastopol watercolorist Grace Allison Griffith 1885 - 1955. Both celebrate Sonoma County landscapes in styles uniquely their own. Grace spent her youger and older years slightly north alongside her family's "Griffith Woods," and Grace and several of her family members are interred in Gilliam Cemetary on Sullivan Rd at Dyer Rd, overlooking Graton and Atelier One. Linda Sorensen has her artist studio at Atelier One in Graton. Having so many wonderful artist studio neighbors makes for a stimulating Atelier One atmosphere, and Graton itself has long been an artist colony.

Hallberg and Sons Apple Products, Graton, CA
Atelier One's building as it looked back in its apple warehouse days.
Atelier One is a brick-tile building in Graton and is an old apple warehouse which has been seismically retrofitted and divided principally into individual artist studios. Originally, Atelier One's building was home to O.A. Hallberg & Sons Apple Products in Graton. The Hallberg facilities were the core, if you will, of the Sonoma County Apple industry. Today, it is wonderful to have this historic building retrofitted and repurposed as a home to Sonoma County artists.

This year, the Graton Annual Open Studios Sale at Atelier One has at least twelve participating artists. Between 11am and 5pm, Saturday and Sunday, November 18 and 19, the public can come and feel part of this wonderful artistic community, visit with the artists in their working environs - including across-the-corner Studio 9000 collective - and even acquire a treasure to take home.

This year's Atelier event, Linda Sorensen is sharing her studio space with the works of a famous painter of Sebastopol's past, Grace Allison Griffith, 1885 - 1955.

Grace was a well-known watercolorist throughout California and even had an international reputation in what was then the Kingdom of Hawaii (in 1910-1911) and in both England and Scotland (during the first half of the 1920's). In Hawaii, the local Honolulu press dubbed her "the Wizard of Watercolor." In England, she was invited to become a member of the Royal Watercolor Society.

Grace grew up on the Griffith fruit ranch on Laguna Road not far from Graton. Her father was fruit rancher Nathaniel Griffith who brought the Gravenstein Apple to Sebastopol. It is kind of fitting that Grace's paintings are available for viewing in Atelier One. In her lifetime, she may well have visited Atelier One's building back in the day when the scent of apples filled the building.

As a young artist Grace did horticultural drawings for her father's close friend, Luther Burbank. She studied art with Bohemian Club member Lorenzo Latimer. As an established artist in California, she sold her paintings through prestigious galleries, such as Gumps in San Francisco, the Clairmont Hotel Galleries in Berkeley, and the Kanst Gallery in Los Angeles. (And of course Rosenberg's Department Store in Santa Rosa; it is not surprising when Sonoma County families have her paintings.)
