Artist Robin Galante examines life in San Francisco's Richmond District in a series of watercolor paintings depicting the neighborhood before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.
When Galante first began the series in 2018, her hope was to preserve the character of her evolving neighborhood through art. Having witnessed the city change rapidly since she moved to San Francisco in 2003, she painted scenes to capture what she loved about San Francisco's west side; pastel-hued homes and classic movie theaters, towering cathedrals alongside quirky dive bars. Using watercolor pencils and ink as her medium, she imbues her work with a sense of affection and nostalgia.
