We are pleased to present Aligned, a group exhibition showcasing the work of six women artists, woven together in a vivid tapestry of expression.
Each artist, with her unique voice and vision, contributes to a
collective narrative that resonates with universal themes of connection
and creativity.
From the vibrant abstractions of Valerie Corvin to the surreal digital landscapes of Lisa Levine, Aligned maps a spectrum of style and sensibility. Kim Cardoso’s luminous encaustics converse with minimalism, while Anne Rabe’s photographs open a dialogue between tradition and modernity. Dee Tivenan’s emotive paintings echo the experiential textures found in Dobee Snowber’s mixed media works, bridging the gap between the abstract and the figurative.
Aligned
is a testament to the power of artistic community and the invisible
threads that bind us. It invites viewers to discover harmony within
contrast and to explore the diverse ways art can narrate stories, evoke
emotion, and capture moments of shared humanity.
Featuring:
Kim Cardoso, Valerie Corvin, Lisa Levine, Anne Rabe, Dee Tivenan, Dobee Snowber

ABOUT GRAY LOFT GALLERY
Gray Loft
Gallery has promoted the rich art culture of Jingletown and the greater
Bay Area for 12 years. The gallery has been referred to as a hidden gem
in Jingletown, and noted by the late Kenneth Baker, former SF Chronicle
Art Critic, in his Visual Arts Don’t Miss Column as “…A space gaining
prominence in the Bay Area…” The mission of the gallery is to provide
exhibition opportunities for artists in a setting that is an alternative
to the traditional gallery model. We hope to inspire, engage and
celebrate artists in our community and beyond. We acknowledge the
achievements of emerging, mid-career and established artists – with an
emphasis on those who live and work in the Bay Area – in a
non-traditional art space. We are proud that many artists began
their art career at Gray Loft Gallery.
“I have always enjoyed this gallery, superb atmosphere and lighting. The
polished and worn hardwood floors creek slightly in places as you climb
to the third floor, providing a granular and unique, organic aesthetic.
This is a do-not-miss venue in the East Bay.” – Facebook Review
Gray Loft Gallery has received "Best Art Gallery" in the Oakland Magazine's Readers Choice Award in 2016, 2017, 2021 and voted one of five top art galleries in 2022 and 2023.
