WINE and FINE DINING 2010

<p> WINE and FINE DINING 2010</p><p>Camphill Soltane is very pleased to announce that internationally renowned artist, Layla Fanucci, will serve as the Honorary Chair for our Wine and Fine Dining 2010. Layla’s artistic talent was first expressed in music, and was encouraged by her parents to study multiple instruments, learning to play the piano, clarinet, and guitar. She pursued a degree in sociology, and graduated in 1980. In 1999, she found herself wanting some “big, live art” (as she describes it) for her home. Finding nothing to her liking, she bought some art supplies and created a large, colorful abstract painting. During 2001, Layla’s first painting opened the floodgates to the hundred of paintings that have emerged during the ensuing years and she devoted herself full-time to making art. </p><p>Among her influences beyond Matisse, she cites the work of Picasso and Cezanne, her architect father, and extensive travels. In 2005, those travels emerged as a source of an on-going series of paintings, each inspired by a specific city. These dense images realized in black brush strokes on colored grounds, capture both a sense of place and the wonder and intensity of urban life. She has received many commissions and her work is in numerous private collections.</p><p>Layla lives and paints in St. Helena, California, with her husband, Robert, who practices law and produces Charter Oak Wine. Layla’s Schedule is indeed full, with a museum show of 30 of her Cityscapes opening in April of 2010 in Morocco, and continuing representation at the Water Wickiser Gallery in New York. Layla’s canvases entice a real pleasure in the act of creating, and she has said that, “Every time I paint I get the same feeling of electricity, satisfaction, and completion” that she first experienced in creating musical works.</p><p>For more information please visit www.laylafanucci.com. </p><p>By Renée C.
