Hello,

My name is Loana and I have been painting scenes of Nevada County, California for 42 years. I have ink sketches, large paintings in mostly watercolor and I have also done some collage and mixed media. Most of the time I love to paint on-site and I use my camera to take photos to work from back at the studio.

I love rural scenes as well as town vistas especially in both Grass Valley and Nevada City. Schools, churches and most of the local historical sites have not escaped my pen and ink.

I can draw or paint your home or business site for use on personal or business stationery, I do notecards for use as seasonal greeting notecards and these are available in assortments of ten scenes in a gift box with stretch ties.

I love to paint my kind of posters commemmorating local events. I am most well known for the "Victorian Christmas" in Nevada City. There are 20 posters which I have designed over the past 10 years for the Nevada City Chamber of Commerce. If you have an event or project that needs my kind of art work, I can be reached by telephone (530) 265-4112.
