Adele Gilani [Oakland] is known for her imaginative, glistening, Fauvist-like landscape paintings.  The freedom and joy she experiences in the great outdoors are palpable in her large color-saturated paintings. Many of Adele’s paintings have a pink sky as a self-referential nod to motherhood. She also incorporates glitter into many of her works as a reminder that we are all stardust.  This is sometimes juxtaposed with raw canvas to create a wabi-sabi effect, celebrating transience and imperfection. Adele graduated from the University of Kentucky with a degree in fine arts. She is a graphic designer, printmaker, painter, and art gallery owner in Sausalito.  She is also an experienced teacher, avid nature-lover, and mother of two.
