This is the fourth piece in my artist series entitled L’ARTISTE

It is a “take off” on Stan Beckmans’ art booth at the SAUSALITO ART FESTIVAL (which is ranked #1 art festival in the country) over the Labor Day Weekend.

I met Stan about 25yrs ago at the SAF when my children were in strollers (gees has it been that long !!!) I instantly fell in love with his work, and his representation of France, Italy and other European countries. Throughout the years I have collected his lithographs and have a “gallery” of his work throughout the house. He is my inspiration for my art work.

The idea to make this piece came while I was recovering from shoulder surgery. I created this piece one handed , and could only work for limited amounts of time. Merci to his assistant Mike who helped me by printing the many “mini” glycee prints.

L’ARTIST will be permanently on exhibit at Stan Beckman’s home in Sherman Oaks, California.
