About
Linda Lee Calvan Drake, a local artist and Point Richmond native, debuts selected works from her series, called “Vintage Views of Old Point Richmond Town” at the Point Richmond Art Collective on July 23. "“I illustrate colorful whimsical interpretations of Victorian residences on the hills of Point Richmond, treasured beaches, boats, secret places and vintage buildings,” said Linda Lee Calvan Drake. “"I call this series of images Vintage Views of Old Point Richmond Town. As a Point Richmond native, I have always appreciated the ability of Point Richmond to be an oasis in our reality. Each Victorian home brings interest to the present with surprising tales from the past. I have collected many of the vintage tales from family and friends in Point Richmond. Illustrating, painting and writing allow me to share this knowledge with some artistic license.”"Drake embraced Point Richmond, the area in which she was raised, and used it as the source of her work, allowing her memories to become her inspiration. "“The Point was a very cool place to live in as a child,” Drake continued. “I have memories of paddling my surfboard out to the end of the Keller’s and Long Wharf piers. I still find joy in the relentless sound of fog horns, watching the tug boats, children playing on the beaches and the occasional resident kayaking along the shoreline. While I have witnessed the slow growth of commercialism and the ever growing population on the vacant hills of my youth, I will always enjoy the whimsical characteristics of Old Point Richmond Town.”"
