The Gallery has 8 spaces 5.5 feet wide for 8 artists to show 3-5 works of art. We are taking applications which put artists on a waitlist from which the top 8 artists will be selected to show their work in the next cycle. Each group of artists will have their work in the Gallery for a 2-month period after which the next group of 8 artists will then display their work. More information is on the application form below.

Alyssa Klonaris has been passionate about art from an early age. This led to an intensive desire to practice her craft at every opportunity. Inspired by the natural environment around her in Northern California, she strives to depict the rolling golden hills and majestic oaks that surround her. She also enjoys painting the coastal locations of Carmel and Monterey, which she grew up visiting. Alyssa creates these landscapes in plein air as well as in her studio. Overtime she also developed a love for portraiture in a black and white style. Inspired by old film, she works to recreate a timeless elegance to her work. Alyssa has been the recipient of the El Dorado Hills Art Association scholarship, the Kingsley/Crocker scholarship, and a 3rd place winner in the El Dorado Hills Art Association Membership Show. Her work has been featured on the Folsom Lake College billboard, Ragged Glory Trading Co. Gallery, Gallery 48 Natoma, and Bank of America Gallery at the Harris Center for the Arts. Currently, she is pursuing a degree in Studio Art.
