Join us for an intimate evening with Guy Diehl, one of the Bay Area's most celebrated realist painters.

In this special talk, Diehl will take us on a journey through his remarkable career spanning over five decades.

From his early days grappling with dyslexia to becoming a master of the still life genre, Diehl's story is one of perseverance and artistic evolution. He'll share insights into:

  • His transition from photorealism to a more restrained, minimalist approach
  • The influence of Bay Area art legends like Wayne Thiebaud and Richard McLean
  • His meticulous creative process and fascination with light and color
  • The stories behind his iconic pool series and art-about-art still lifes
  • His collaborations with prestigious galleries and print studios

Diehl's work, known for its elegant compositions and luminous quality, has been exhibited in major museums and galleries across the country. This is a rare opportunity to hear directly from an artist whose paintings invite us to see the extraordinary in the ordinary.

Whether you're an aspiring artist, a collector, or simply an art enthusiast, don't miss this chance to delve into the mind of a contemporary master!
