About the artist
Anna Conti is
quintessentially a San Francisco artist. Once or twice a week she
heads out to paint and/or photograph the natural and not-so-natural
world of San Francisco. She finds her inspiration equally on the
ocean beach and on the neighborhood street corner; in the underbelly
of the bridge, in the architectural drama of a construction site.
Her work tends toward the close-up rather than the expansive view,
and it makes her powerful paintings strangely intimate. They are
comfortable to be around, and make you want to come back for another
look. It is that refinement of the familiar San Francisco places
that Anna Conti captures in her series of cityscapes.
