It is inhabited by a diversity of wildlife, including over 450 species of birds, mountains lions, deer, bobcats, foxes, and elk. Ms. Hall who is a native of this area returned after spending twenty years in New York City.
In her book, “Painting Point Reyes”, Hall says, “Point Reyes is the center of my painting life. Point Reyes has been my life and when I haven’t lived here, it has been an underground stream that spoke to me in dreams and visions.”
While living and painting in New York City, Ms. Hall exhibited her work widely in museums and galleries. Among them are the Whitney Museum of Art; San Francisco Museum of Art; Nancy Hoffman Gallery, Trabia MacAfee Gallery, Phyllis Kind Gallery, Chicago; Ovsey Gallery, Los Angeles.
In addition, her work has been featured in group exhibitions throughout the United States and abroad, including the Whitney Museum of American Art, the San Francisco Museum, the Oakland Museum, Baltimore Museum, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the Hudson River Museum, the Brooklyn Museum and the Kunst museum Lucerne, Switzerland.
Ms. Hall has received fellowships from the Adolph and Esther Gottleib Foundation, two National Endowment for the Arts awards, and grants from the Pollack Krasner Foundation and the New York State Council on the Arts.
Her work is included in many public and corporate collections, including the New Museum, the Whitney Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, Carnegie Institute, St. Louis Museum, Storm King Art Center, Chase Manhattan Bank, Becton Dickinson, and the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

She has been on the faculty of the School of Visual Arts, New York City, and has taught at the San Francisco Art Institute, University of Texas at San Antonio and Austin, University of Colorado at Boulder, Sarah Lawrence College, Bronxville, and Cooper Union in New York City.
Since returning to Point Reyes, Hall has been very involved with painting. She also began to make ceramics that reflect the rich warmth and generosity of spirit of northern California. She has devoted time to land preservation and is a supporter of the Marin Agricultural Land Trust. Also of interest to her are projects that protect the cultural and environmental aspects of Point Reyes.
Her painting reflects the magical and metaphorical potential of West Marin. Hall says, “I see in landscape painting the reflection of the ever-changing canopy of the universe as well as the intimate recesses of the human psyche and soul.”

Susan Hall
Susan Hall creates paintings of contemplative figures that are enhanced by a Caravaggio-like lighting effect. While the single, internal lighting source provides drama, the contrast is softened via lacy or arabesque patterns that veil her subjects. The overall effect is ghostly, as girls, young women and animals emerge from behind shrouded motifs. When viewing Hall's work, there are numerous art historical references, from the eye-dazzling geometry of Islamic art to the psychological isolation of Andrew Wyeth’s paintings.

- Modernist Figurative Pop Art Etching and Aquatint "the Artist" Michael MazurBy Michael MazurLocated in Surfside, FLMichael Mazur "The Artist" Hand signed and editioned from the edition of 50 1967 Michael Burton Mazur (1935-August 18, 2009) was an American artist who was described by William Grimes of The New York Times as "a restlessly inventive printmaker, painter, and sculptor." Born and raised in New York City, Mazur attended the Horace Mann School. He received a bachelor's degree from Amherst College in 1958, then studied art at Yale. Mazur first gained notice for his series of lithographs and etchings of inmates in a mental asylum, which resulted in two publications, "Closed Ward" and "Locked Ward." Over the years, he worked in printmaking and painting. His series of large-scale prints for Dante's Inferno won critical acclaim, and were the subject of a traveling exhibition organized by the University of Iowa in 1994. Later he concentrated on creating large, lyrical paintings which make use of his free, gestural brushwork and a varied palette. Some of these paintings were seen in an exhibition of 2002 at Boston University, "Looking East: Brice Marden, Michael Mazur, and Pat Steir." (See also Susan Danly, "Branching: The Art of Michael Mazur," 1997).

He went on to earn both a B.F.A. and an M.F.A. from the Yale School of Art and Architecture in 1961. Mazur's first teaching job was at the Rhode Island School of Design from 1961 to 1964. He was awarded a Guggenheim Foundation fellowship for 1964–65. From 1965 to 1976, he taught at Brandeis University, and from 1976 to 1978 at Harvard University. As an artist, teacher, and writer, Mazur has been active in reviving the monotype process. He contributed an essay to the pioneering exhibition catalogue The Painterly Print, published by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1980. Mazur recently chaired the New Provincetown Print...Category
