I live in upstate NY, in the foothills of the Adirondacks. Making art is my passion and began early in my life and has remained an integral part of who I am and how I see the world. I have studied, and continue to study, under a number and variety of established, award-winning, and inspired artists, including Bernard Dellario, Ann Larsen, Mary Bentz Gilkerson, and Rita DiCaprio.
“When I paint, I get inspired by the places I have been and their people with diverse identities and cultures- but most of all I am inspired by our shared humanity.” Graciela Placak, a Bay Area artist, was born in Madrid, Spain ande was influenced by her large family of artists. She has been painting since childhood. After studying Architecture and Fine Arts, she immigrated to Northern California in 1983. Since arriving here, her work has been featured in numerous one-woman shows and she has been commissioned to make specialized pieces including murals, mosaics, stained glass, and portraits for both commercial and private clients. She is best known for her vibrant use of color and her realistic portrayals of many of Northern California’s most scenic locations. Contact her at Graciela.placak@gmail.com
