ARTISTICALLY INCLINED

Lake County's Resident Artist Expands Her Offerings
Inspirations Gallery, Lake County's premier source for fine art and framing, is celebrating its ninth year in the heart of Lakeport, at 165 N. Main Street. Resident artist and owner Gail Salituri continues to offer a wide variety of artistic creations, including a wonderful assortment of her own work. Those featured at the gallery include renowned nationally known artists Leonard Wren, Karen Noles, Howard Behrens, Barbara Sullivan, Cliff Myers, Paul Youngman, Howard Terpning, Pino and Thomas Kinkade.

"The tastes of those who visit my gallery are wonderfully varied," Gail says. "The artists I've chosen to carry are each expressive in their own way, with individual styles that appeal to different people in different ways. These are all outstanding artists whose work differs from my own, which means that visitors to the gallery have a real assortment of excellent pieces to choose from. There are both limited edition offerings of various types as well as originals, in various sizes and at a variety of prices, so there really is something for everyone."

Gail's own work continues to delight a growing audience, and she has established herself as one of the premier painters of building, landscape and still life studies in California. Besides being featured at Inspirations Gallery, Gail's originals are now regularly shown at the prestigious Lee Youngman Gallery in Calistoga, as well. Her expanding line of limited edition lithographs is finding a growing audience in Lake County and beyond.

The latest in Salituri lithographs will appear this summer and fall, two new still life studies published by Shared Visions that feature pears and grapes. For a change of pace, Gail recently began painting koi fish, taking direct inspiration from the aquatic denizens of the koi pond in her own backyard.

The Inspirations Gallery features not only original artwork and limited edition prints, but also offers custom framing services. Browsers are invited to come in and look around to discover what is available. "I really welcome anyone who loves art," Gail Salituri says. "I believe that the paintings should be as accessible as possible, and a gallery should be a welcoming place where the works delight the eye and warm the heart. I strive for that in my own creations, and want nothing less for the gallery itself. I invite anyone to come in and see what they like, then imagine it bringing them a lifetime of pleasure and enjoyment as it hangs in their own home or office, where it will delight them every day."
