Gerane Mooney
Fine Artist

Gerane’s impressionist works embody a life-giving quality attributable to her fresh and vibrant sense of color. She combines images with a representational edge reflecting the beauty of the nature God created.

Gerane began the study of French impressionist works in 1975. Under the tutelage of several highly regarded art instructors, she developed and cultivated an innovative style that is well received, both artistically and commercially.

Classes and personal instructors include: Margo Lennartz, Martha Saudek, Pasadena City College, McGroarty Art Center, Brand Art Studio, Shirlee Prescott, Hal Hemlick, Betty Woodhull, Dottie Knight, Penny Durand, and continuing education workshops.

Gerane's works may be found throughout the United States, with most collectors concentrated in California and Oregon. Her works are shown regularly in juried and non-juried competitions, receiving numerous awards. Among recent juried competitions was the Oil Painters of America 2003 juried exhibition held at the Waterhouse Gallery in Santa Barbara, California.

In February 2000, Gerane began an annual series of four-week engagements as featured artist at Descanso Gardens in La Canada Flintridge. There, collectors acquire her works at a record-setting pace.

Both prints and original works are displayed and available at the Descanso Gardens Gift Shop. One original work – Calla Lilies – is on permanent display at the La Canada Flintridge Library. The Montrose Chamber of Commerce published her work, Small Town USA, in the May-June 2002 issue of The Boulevard Magazine and on the cover if its 2002 member directory. Gerane is the only artist whose works are held for sale by Mountain Rose Gallery, an upscale art, gifts and antiques retailer in Montrose, California.

Gerane’s professional affiliations include San Gabriel Fine Arts Association, Verdugo Art Association, Glendale Art Association, the California Art Club and Oil Painters of America (Associate Member).
