This season we present the unique artwork of V.E. Long. This artist works in a variety of media and imagery, so the figures, landscapes and abtracts are extremely varied yet all from one artist. Her figure drawings begin as classically drawn charcoal renderings. Then she deconstructs the drawings with paint pushing the figure toward abstraction. She is constantly experimenting with materials and imagery including monotypes, assemblages and wood constructions.

Born in Vietnam, Vi Botarro came to the United State in 1970 to attend college. Moving to the Napa Valley to pursue her love of nature and photography she has been capturing the pulse of our vineyard life. “Using the different techniques in photography to express how I feel of what I see is my passion. I feel very fortunate to be a photographer in this incredibly beautiful part of the country.” Vi's photography can be seen on display at Domaine Chandon.

Napa Valley resident, Richard Botto, is well known for his rock sculptures, originally displayed his work on his property along the Silverado Trail. He finds inspiration in the special shapes and forms in the vineyards and the natural rock from his creek bed. He initially worked exclusively in stone, but later introduced steel to support his sculpture.
