For a decade now, Varnish Fine Art’s Jen Rogers and Kerri Stephens have created a sense of community and fam-ily that embraces the Pop Surrealism/New Classical/avant-garde world. Their gallery showcases strong & strange art. They are stand-up gallery owners with an appreciation of both art and the nature of work. Varnish’s presence in San Francisco and awareness of the artists they represent has expanded with Varnish’s participation in art fairs, and the gallery has worked to create a vital community and forge connections between artists.- Cartwheel
