Palette Art is so cool! You can mix and match any combonation of these easy paintings that are made from resin and wood. Almost like glass, the finish on these works is really unique. Come on in to check them out during the hours 12pm-4pm on Thursdays or call me, Obi Kaufmann, Art Director, 510-914-8364 for an appointment. 2625 Magnolia Street, Oakland.

Palette Art is made by our friends Anna Conklin and Genevieve Roland Smith:

Anna Conklin

While drawn toward art since childhood, Anna tried her hand in a few other areas before discovering the joy of an art career. After graduating from Stanford University with a degree in American History and Political Science, Anna spent time studying art in Florence, Italy. After returning from abroad, Anna worked in an educational start-up that soon grew to a national presence. Still, art called to her. So she switched back to art and in 2000, she received an MFA in textiles from California College of the Arts.

Genevieve Roland-Smith

Genevieve’s lifelong art career began when she enrolled in her first art classes at the age of four. Shortly after receiving a BA in studio art from UC Santa Barbara, she launched her art career with her first sold-out show, quickly establishing herself as an emerging fine artist, and talented decorative painter. Her personal art studio almost always has a work in progress on the easel. “My personal and my professional painting enhance one another,” she notes.
