About the Item
Artist Comments
A slice of grasshopper in a chocolate cookie pie crust, drizzled with chocolate and topped with blueberries and mint. Artist Pat Doherty's oil paintings draw on her experience as a former commercial art director and designer. "I seek out my subjects at farmer's markets and bakeries and then return to my studio to simplify the details into bright, graphic arrangements," shares Pat. "I take time to balance the elements in my compositions and establish good color relationships between light and shadow."
About the Artist
Pat Doherty follows in the tradition of Bay Area artists who paint what they love. Her culinary series is a reflection of her surroundings; Pat is a third generation San Franciscan now living in Marin. The Bay Area is the perfect place to find the petit fours and decadent pastries featured in her work "Sweet Choices." Similar in subject matter to Wayne Theibaud's desserts, Pat’s unique style starts with a rich color palette and an angled picture plane to achieve depth. The subjects are often simple, but Pat takes the time to understand them and develop a mastery of light and shadow. The art has a certain humor and light-heartedness as well, especially with her series of dogs and bite-sized confections. Pat's style is inspired by her previous work in the graphic design industry, when she was the art director of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce, art director of San Francisco magazine, and senior art director at a private design firm. Pat's work has been featured in American Art Collector magazine, several solo shows, including the Caffe Museo in the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, as well as many group shows, including frequent showings at the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art.

Artist Comments
A modernist painting part of artist Rachel Srinivasan's Cubist Coffee series. For these pieces, Rachel studies her extensive collection of cafetieres that she keeps in her studio. "The work is inspired by Modernism, Cubism, and even architecture," says Rachel. "It reminds me of the years I lived in Italy."
About the Artist
For Rachel Srinivasan, an idea is worth putting on a canvas only if it still feels exciting after a few days. Rachel enjoys mulling the idea over in her mind for some time before creating an artwork. She hopes viewers will engage with her work and wonder about the subject matter, shapes and colors. "My current work is all about creating a connection between the person on the canvas with the viewer," she explains. She prefers large paintings and sometimes even makes her own canvases. She currently lives in Arizona and enjoys baking rhubarb pies, reading, running and going to art museums.
