The Biltmore Hotel and Suites in Santa Clara is delighting the locals with a series of quarterly art shows in the lovely atrium there at 2151 Laurelwood Drive. The first show on October 22, "was an intimate and special evening," as guests sampled the generous refreshments and got to meet six area artists and experience their works.

One thing Karen Honaker, Lorraine Lawson, Lucy Liew, Bernard Renot, Chunming Yu, and Floy Zittin have in common as artists is the long time and dedication they have devoted to their art. "I see Art as a continuing adventure," shares Renot in his Artist's Statement. Renot began his career more than fifty years ago and believes twenty years of living in California "have helped to distill the essence of my style." (see www.studiorenot.us) Renot has had one-man shows in Cannes, Lyon, Venice, Paris, and San Francisco.
