We are THRILLED with the recent review by Patricia Albers in @squarecylinder_artreviews of Simone Simon's work in her solo show presented by Gray Loft Uptown at The Orchard / Galleries on 25th Street. Thank you for the insightful remarks of our first show at this venue! An excerpt of Ms. Albers review: "Like much Romantic art, Simon’s is transitory. Astir in color and light, everything is dissolving and becoming. The effect is quasi-cinematic. Viewers can’t help but imagine what will happen next, however fleeting and ungraspable. Her paintings ask that we awaken our imaginations, lose track of time, and discover what we will — a pursuit not unlike cloud-gazing. It’s an appealing prospect at this dark, chilly, and often harried time of year." @palbers22025 Please read the full review linked in our bio or click: https://www.squarecylinder.com/2026/01/simone-simon/ Simone Simon at Gray Loft Uptown will be on view until January 31. The gallery will reopen next weekend. Please visit us on 25th Street! @oaklandartmurmur @the_orchard_galleries_on_25 #grayloftgallery #jingletowngallery #25thstreetoakland #the_orchard_galleries_on_25 #bayareaartscene

The Orchard Gallery Highlight!💥 Simone Simon Born in Panama and raised on the East Coast, Simone eventually made her way to California to study at the San Francisco Art Institute, earning both her BFA and MFA in Painting. In the 80s she helped launch ARE Gallery on Market Street, contributing to San Francisco’s vibrant alternative art scene. Alongside her artistic practice, Simone has explored body movement and psychology - dancing, teaching yoga, and working as a clinical hypnotherapist. About her work: “I see paintings as arenas where light and gesture are gathered and stored… Shapes and symbols build over time - marching forward like characters, forming relationships and memories. I work until a presence can be felt, an energy that might be provoked or invited to take center stage on the canvas.” Simone has been represented by Gray Loft Gallery for 14 years and has exhibited widely in California and beyond. Her work is included in major corporate collections such as Oracle and Bank of America. She lives and works in Petaluma, California. @simonesimonart Gray Loft Uptown’s inaugural exhibit in at @the_orchard_galleries_on_25 will feature three solo shows: Simone Simon, Suzy Barnard and John Wood. Grand Opening: Saturday, Nov. 15, 1:00 – 5:00 p.m. Exhibit dates: November 15 -January 31, 2026 Location: The Orchard / Galleries on 25, 489 – 25th Street, Oakland, CA Gallery Hours: Fridays and Saturdays 12:00 – 5:00 p.m. and by appointment @oaklandartmurmur @mlowedancekitty #the_orchard_galleries_on_25 #oaklandartmurmur #oaklandgallery #newartdestination #visitoakland #bayareaartists #25thstreetoakland #sfada
