Gisela Embree
'Rain', Los Gatos Woman Artist, China, Germany, Santa Cruz, California

About the Item

Inscribed verso, 'Gisela Embree' and Titled 'Rain'. Born in Germany in 1927, Gisela Embree immigrated to the United States in 1948. She began to study Chinese brush painting in 1975, and it became her artistic focus for the rest of her life. Embree studied art both in the United States and in China, and was a member of Gallery Saratoga and El Gatito Gallery, in Los Gatos, CA. She was also a frequent exhibitor in both Santa Clara and Santa Cruz counties. Her paintings are included in collections in the United States and Europe. Embree gave numerous demonstrations and lectures in the San Francisco and Monterey Bay areas and was a popular instructor in the art of Chinese brush painting at Cabrillo College in Aptos, CA. We are pleased to offer this extraordinarily delicate and lyrical winter landscape which exemplifies the talent of this bicultural artist.
