This version will be displayed at the closing reception for COMING TO REALITY on Friday, 2/25. @mothbellygallery is open Thurs./Fri. 12-6 and Sat. 11-5. I've know Liane for several years now from our days at the @hemlocktavernsf. Originally from San Jose, Liane first started coming to SF at 15 years old as a part of the AAU high school summer arts program. She officially moved here at 19 in 2009 after enrolling in the AAU Interior Architectire program, in which she graduated in 2013. Liane had lived and practiced her fine art in the TL for a decade, showing at @the_loin_sf, @fleetwood_sf, @bookandjobgallery, @thefamilyroomsf and @pancakesandbooze. Her style is very detail oriented which comes from her training in interior architecture. This is where she picked up on pointalism, stippling and hatching. Her staining and ink techniques derive from custom furniture, cabinet and other wood working projects she designed and engineered in the past. Much of her work also contains spray paint and layering techniques in which she subtracts layers to create her final image. After spending a year in Mexico City with her wife, Dani; Liane is back in the Bay and officially on the 'HUSTLE'. Her new body of work will be focused on her Japanese heritage and culture, and contain a new variety of color and compositional elements not seen in her previous bodies of work. I'm looking forward to seeing what she musters up! ***Liane is also has a black belt in karate. She used to host martial arts classes at KY fitness in Nob Hill where her art studio was with @davidlawrencehemingway. Back in the day they'd host fight nights, punk shows and group art exhibitions that Liane, myself and other local artists would regularily participate in. Back in the @hemlocktavernsf days....
