 Museo ItaloAmericano
Building C
Bay Area Italian American artist Frances M. Galli has a retrospective showcase of her lively oil paintings, pastels, and watercolor images at Fort Mason Center's Museo ItaloAmericano in spring and summer 2009.
Galli has studios in Sausalito and in an ancient farmhouse in Italy's Tuscany region and both areas have influenced her work.
In her paintings, she incorporates colorful Tuscan landscapes and elements from whimsical Mediterranean ceramics. She also populates her paintings with figures based on the Italians she has encountered in her journeys.
 Galli studied art at two venerable Bay Area institutions -- the California College of Arts and Crafts (now called California College of Art) and the San Francisco Art Institute.
She has participated in many group and solo exhibitions and her work appears in collections all over the world.
"The Art of Frances M. Galli " is on view May 12 –July 5, Tuesday through Sunday from Noon–4:00 p.m. Admission to the Museo is free.
