In light of the recent turmoil of wildfires in California, I reflect on what is important. To my family, friends and acquaintances from Nevada City and Grass Valley to those in Napa, Santa Rosa, and beyond, I wish for hope and renewal during this time of devastation of our beautiful land.  
 
It is now a well-known fact how art plays such an important part in the healing process. I encourage you to spend time with your favorite pieces of art where ever you may be.  
 
Warmly,
LeeAnn

Art Graces the Offices of Capital Advantage, Inc.  
 
 
I am honored to have had my paintings recently purchased by Capital Advantage, Inc. as part of their new 5,000 sq. ft. offices. Capital Advantage is the largest fee-only independent wealth advisory firm in Lamorinda, CA (a suburb in the San Francisco Bay Area).
 
"We were particularly drawn to Ms. Brook's art because the color palette is both vibrant and soothing, and the paintings feel alive with movement. We are thrilled with the energy they've given to our large space."

Major Purchase by Kaiser Permanente    
 
 
I am pleased to announce that four of my large format paintings have been acquired by Kaiser Permanente for their newest medical facility in the heart of downtown Sacramento. Kaiser Permanente has long been a leader in recognizing how the arts play an important part in healing. The paintings will be in the lobby of their new medical building that will be completed early Spring, next to the Golden 1 Center in downtown Sacramento, CA. A BIG thank you to Grigio Art Consulting for bringing me into this great project!
