About the Artist

“Many years ago I felt it necessary to paint exactly on paper or canvas what I saw. Reporting accurately, that which existed in my line of sight, was critical to my success as a painter. Now, after years of studying under master teachers, I look for shapes in the landscape. I look for value differences and color temperatures in every scene,” says Fred Ekman.

You can also bid on a Debbie Brooks designer handbag or a lovely piece of hand-crafted jewelry.
Enjoy the best Chardonnay and Cabernet that has ever touched your lips, generously donated by Cakebread Cellars. And as our gift to you to help you remember this special occasion, each guest will be presented with a stunning hand-painted specialty wine glass.
Tempt your palate with a delectable assortment of hor d’oeuvres, from mini tea sandwiches to swiss cheese souffle.
