The 47th annual San Francisco Decorator Showcase — a design event and home tour that invites several top Bay Area designers to transform a home in the city — is open to the public from April 25 through May 25, 2026. Sonoma County Magazine featured the event. “…Maker & Moss’s design of “The Study” features several artworks by Petaluma abstract artist Lisa Lightman. Her piece “Highway 101 in The Morning” sits above the chaise. (Brad Knipstein Photography). The yellow in Lightman’s piece was a natural match for the punchy-colored chair, according to principal Maker & Moss designer Briana Tunison, who worked on the room with the firm’s founder, Matt Bissinger. Several of Lightman’s pieces are placed throughout the space.”

Co-Curator for Exhibition
In addition to my artist self, I’ve been active at the Petaluma Arts Center where I’m on the board and chair of the exhibitions committee. I am a co-curator for our exhibition in the main gallery called The Art of Materials. It’s been a wonderful and new experience for me and even more exciting to introduce friends to many exceptional artists in the Bay Area.
I had such a wonderful time at Open Studios last year that I’m doing it again. Please join me and 10 other artists who will exhibit their work amidst the contemporary furniture of Room and Board. It will be great to see you again.
