Growing up and working in Los Angeles, being on the back lots of movie studios informed Caren Wynne's perception that architecture gives meaning to a larger story. Her paintings transform real life environments into stagecraft, telling the story of domestic and secret spaces. After earning a BA in drawing & painting and a MA in Illustration from Cal State Fullerton a long circuitous route away from painting began. In 2019 she picked up where she left and returning as a fulltime painter. The atmosphere gives up the most surreal interplay in San Francisco. Wynne hopes to find a singular approach to depicting its architecture, void of ubiquitous hills and the cars parked on them. Rather focusing of the effects of sun, shadows and light from within. Beginning each work with detailed colored pencil drawings, transitioning to the final panel with a grisaille painting, ending with color glazes. Everything is planned, any spontaneity comes from the moment she finds the subject in real time and photographs it.

Show Title: San Francisco Nocturnes Nocturnes by definition portray a pensive and still mood. San Francisco is surprisingly extremely quiet at night. This city sleeps.
