Slide Show & Book Signing with Erin Lee Gafill: Jane Gallatin Powers - A California Modernist
While the Bohemians were writing poetry and making Carmel famous, a group of painters, mostly women, were doing the work of building a sustainable arts community that would become Carmel-by-the Sea. Jane Gallatin Powers was the “spiritual rock” of the nascent art colony. Her story and artwork have never been published...until now.
Jane Gallatin Powers- A California Modernist is Jane’s story re-constructed out of family letters, newspaper clippings and interviews with those few who remembered her, it is lavishly illustrated with Jane’s paintings, drawings, and historical photographs, researched and written by her great-great-granddaughter, Erin Lee Gafill.
Gafill is an award-winning artist and author from Big Sur. She is an artist member of the Carmel Art Association. She is on the creative arts faculty of the Esalen Institute and Rancho La Puerta in Tecate, Baja California.
Jane Gallatin Powers - A California Modernist will be available for purchase at the event.
