Born in Hong Kong and raised both in Hong Kong and Yorkshire, England, Catherine Fasciato was influenced by the aesthetic appeal of Asian Art and the love of Nature.

Ever since childhood, drawing and painting have been both a means of communication and of escape. She paints plein air at least twice every week and has won numerous awards in plein air competitions.

Nancy Meaden grew up in the Chicago area, then raising her children in New Mexico before coming to Northern California.

She has always loved the arts, and today she channels that love into colorful and artfully crafted ceramics and hand-dyed silk scarves.

She was recently elected president of the Valley Art Gallery.

The work of Catherine and Nancy as well as the entire collection of original works from the best of the best East Bay artists — more than 300 works — are available for sale or rent-to-purchase through our exclusive "No Regrets" rental program.
