Past Exhibitions
I remember my first visit to the Casa.
Wandering slowly through the white stucco home
Counting patterns,
Arches everywhere,
Dark wood,
Stars on the ceiling.
Ole Hanson and his wife each had their own bedroom.
Each bedroom had a bathroom —
Floor to ceiling Catalina tile.
One was green
One was blue.
Lisa Jonas Taylor is an artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Though she uses several mediums and often incorporates elements of theatricality, she primarily considers her work to be painting. Frequently pulling from landscape imagery, cultural myth, and direct experiences, she explores the limitations of knowledge and potential for new possibilities by presenting relationships between the subjects, materials, objects, space, and viewer.
Taylor has exhibited at Bass & Reiner Gallery; Southern Exposure; and the Contemporary Jewish Museum; in San Francisco, CA and the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, in Berkeley, CA; among others. Her collaborative projects include the performance piece God Sees Everything, part of San Francisco Museum of Modern Art’s Fertile Ground at the Oakland Museum of California and Solarium, filmed during a residency at This Will Take Time and later exhibited at City Limits Gallery. She received her MFA from California College of the Arts and her BFA from CSU Long Beach.
