The Connect the Dots Art Loan Program places collaborative, large-scale artworks into public and private spaces while remaining available for collectors. We’re excited to share our latest Art Loan Installation—featuring striking large-scale collaborative paintings by artists Barbara Libby-Steinmann and Anna Rochester, now on view in the professional office spaces, parlors, and boardrooms at the Marin Art and Garden Center in Ross, CA. Please stop in to see these paintings and say, “Hello” to our friends at the Center.

These expansive pieces bring a sense of calm, movement, and vibrant energy into the spaces—transforming the environment with bold color and expressive mark-making. Created through a shared, intuitive process, these paintings reflect Connect the Dots commitment to collaboration, connection, and art that lives beyond the studio walls.

Big Blue, installed in the Events Office, sparks meaningful responses. Cindy, who shares her space with the painting, shared, “Your work brings so much joy and happiness.” We’re grateful for her support and for the opportunity to see this work activate a space in such a positive way. Additionally, Coneflower, Kelp Forest I & II, and Abstract Echinacea, extend the presence of our collaborative work throughout the Marin Art & Garden work environments. Many thanks to Executive Director, Iris Lax, and her team for the warm welcome of these artworks. 

Each painting brings beauty and connection into everyday environments. For purchase details and art loan requests, please contact us via email: art@connectthedotsartstudio.org

Proceeds from sales directly support Connect the Dots Art Studio, a Marin Arts–based nonprofit dedicated to expanding access to hands-on art experiences and supporting artists and art educators in our communities.

Art that gives back. Art that lives with you.
