This painting depicts the view from one of Carol Moore's regular morning walks on Bernal Hill in San Francisco. The work is part of her cargo ship series. In these pieces Carol embeds maps and guitar strings to show the music of our one world, and the exchange of ideas and materials that support our lives.

About the Artist
Carole Moore works as a massage therapist and finds a lot of inspiration in her various clients. Art is something she needs to do - she feels irritated when she goes without painting for too long. Oftentimes, she sits on her feet while painting and does not notice they are asleep until she tries to get up. She enjoys spending time with her family, tending her garden and rock climbing. Carole currently lives in California, but was an exchange student in Mexico and Japan and was highly influenced by both cultures.

I was surprised to find when I did my dna test that I am part Native American, and wanted to honor those that came before me with a series of portraits. The cross symbol is prevalent in the culture. I also have beading, arrowheads and horsehair tassels...

Artist Comments
Heavily collaged piece featuring handwritten notes, book pages, flowers and delicately crossed hands. Darlene says the artwork is centered around the concept of renewing our soul. "We all need quiet time where we can think and dream, whether it is just enjoying nature, reading a book or thinking of special people in our life."

About the Artist
Darlene McElroy sees creating art as similar to reading Turkish coffee grounds. A story becomes revealed as one looks at the surface, texture and color. Her works use a variety of materials ranging from acrylic paints to photo transfers and collage. She currently lives in New Mexico and has been greatly influenced by the work of Robert Rauschenberg. She encourages viewers to search for their narrative interpretation when viewing a work.
