What a delightful afternoon welcoming the residents of The Heritage Downtown in Walnut Creek, California, for a private visit to our gallery today!

Our lovely guests began their afternoon with a delicious lunch at La Veranda, La Veranda Café one of Clayton’s finest restaurants, before stopping by JOR Fine Art Gallery to relax, catch their breath, and admire the beautiful artwork created by our talented artists.

One of the highlights of the visit was meeting Rita Robillard, a talented artist and resident of The Heritage Downtown, who thoughtfully brought us a copy of her book as a gift. What a wonderful surprise and such a pleasure to meet her! ❤️

A heartfelt thank-you to all the wonderful residents and staff of The Heritage Downtown for spending part of your day with us. We truly enjoyed your company, your smiles, and your appreciation for the arts.

Thank you for choosing to spend your afternoon in our charming town of Clayton! We hope you enjoyed the delicious food, beautiful artwork, and warm hospitality of our community.

We look forward to welcoming you back soon! ❤️

Art that can transform a room. ✨

Dee Tivenan’s beautiful abstract paintings bring together soft color, expressive movement, and just the right touch of drama. Her work is especially striking in contemporary and minimalist spaces, where a single painting can become the focal point of the room.

Moving into a new home, redecorating, or simply ready for a fresh look? Sometimes all it takes is the right piece of original art to make your space feel completely new.

Come by this week and see Dee Tivenan’s paintings in person at JOR Fine Art Gallery. ❤️
