Alice Warnecke Sutro has always looked to the land for inspiration. The rugged Warnecke Ranch, a 265-acre property in Sonoma\u2019s Chalk Hill region with over a mile of frontage along the Russian River, has been in her family for six generations. The ranch is the place that feeds her soul, she says \u2014 the place where she can be the best version of herself.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s why I manage the vineyard, make the wine and do the work. It\u2019s all about the connection to the ranch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Growing up, the river was a peaceful place to swim and explore. Now, she takes her two children there to do the same. \u201cIt\u2019s so beautiful down there. It\u2019s imprinted in my mind as the most energizing place I can go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alice \u2014 a grapegrower, winemaker and visual artist \u2014 studied art history at Stanford. She once held one of those student jobs that seem to only exist in the movies: maintaining works of art in the university\u2019s outdoor sculpture garden. While soaping down a priceless Rodin bronze, she realized she was drawn to explore the places that had been home to the great artists she loved. Being able to touch and experience art in person was grounding to her artistic\u00a0<\/span>practice. Alice later lived and worked in <\/span>Florence and Moscow before returning to<\/span>\u00a0the Bay Area\u2019s California College of the<\/span>\u00a0Arts for a master\u2019s degree in fine arts.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was in graduate school that the young<\/span>\u00a0artist experienced a bit of a creative crisis.<\/span>\u00a0A professor had questioned aspects of<\/span>\u00a0her work, and she retreated to the family<\/span>\u00a0ranch to regroup. Alice found herself<\/span>\u00a0sitting on the ground, with her drawing<\/span>\u00a0paper beneath her, inside a large pigeon<\/span> coop. Looking up at dozens of white pigeons,\u00a0<\/span>which had been raised on the ranch <\/span>for 30 years, she simply began to draw<\/span>\u00a0what she saw.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s hard to draw a bird because they always<\/span>\u00a0move. It was exciting, drawing faster<\/span>\u00a0and looser. Letting go of control made me<\/span> more creative, exploratory and adventurous \u2014<\/span>\u00a0and then the line in my work didn\u2019t<\/span>\u00a0seem stale,\u201d she says.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, Alice continues that freely given<\/span>\u00a0expression, and has become known for<\/span>\u00a0life-size figurative line drawings as well<\/span>\u00a0as live art performances. She likens the<\/span> performances to drawing under pressure \u2014<\/span>\u00a0a concept she explores in the tradition of<\/span>\u00a0artists like Niki de Saint Phalle, one of her<\/span>\u00a0creative inspirations.<\/span><\/p>\n

At Healdsburg\u2019s Gallery Lulo, where she<\/span>\u00a0first explored the concept of live drawing,<\/span>\u00a0she\u2019d sit in the gallery and invite people off<\/span>\u00a0the street to step inside, where she would<\/span>\u00a0draw them live and then give away digital<\/span>\u00a0copies of the portraits to the subjects.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think museums are always the<\/span>\u00a0best places for art. They make it rare and<\/span>\u00a0inaccessible,\u201d she says, pointing out that<\/span>\u00a0long ago, art was a form of ritual and often<\/span>\u00a0didn\u2019t culminate in a single, stand-alone<\/span>\u00a0work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last summer, Alice created a monumental<\/span>\u00a0outdoor piece set in an olive<\/span>\u00a0grove at Petaluma\u2019s McEvoy Ranch. Her<\/span>\u00a0\u201cI\u2019m On a Roll\u201d mural spooled out in one<\/span>\u00a0100-foot-long roll of paper, with 20 life-size<\/span>\u00a0portraits of real-life people, solicited on<\/span> the spot and drawn in a span of 12 hours \u2014<\/span> an experience she likens to running a marathon, as she dug deep for the physical strength and focus to finish the work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“I was looking at subject matter and drawing, so my brain was working there. While talking to them, I was an active listener and\u00a0<\/span>active in the conversation and tried to remember <\/span>things about them, but then I was also aware of the<\/span> people around me. They are my audience, also.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

The live performance aspect of her art creates a<\/span>\u00a0deep connection with people. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAt the heart of my<\/span> projects, there is always a person-to-person interaction,\u201d she says.<\/span> “Drawing from life gives my line a certain<\/span> quality and helps make my work look how I want it\u00a0<\/span>to.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Her recent installation, \u201cMistress of Memory,\u201d<\/span>\u00a0at Healdsburg\u2019s Harmon Guest House plays with<\/span>\u00a0the concept of hotels as transitive spaces, featuring<\/span>\u00a0life-size figurative drawings of women holding<\/span>\u00a0balloons over their bodies. Alice created art for six<\/span> guest suites, as well as a large mural in the hotel restaurant \u2014<\/span>\u00a0all accompanied by a flash-fiction writing<\/span>\u00a0project where hotel guest are invited to interpret the<\/span>\u00a0works. It\u2019s a narrative, she explains, about making,<\/span>\u00a0and perhaps losing, memories.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“I like to open up my practice to other people. I think of it more like theater, like having a director or set producer.”<\/p>\n

But drawing under such intense circumstances can take a toll. She utilizes her ranch as a place to recuperate \u201cbefore getting back out there.\u201d Her small, rambling studio, filled with family antiques and artifacts from around the ranch, was once used by her father, a landscape architect, as a drawing studio. It smells of the redwood from which it was built.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sonoma

Alice says the studio is a place to look inward and work privately on smaller art pieces as well as short stories for an upcoming book.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe internal work balances the public-facing part of the art,\u201d she explains.<\/span><\/p>\n

In late summer and early fall, Alice\u2019s art takes a back seat to her duties as a rancher, grapegrower and winemaker. Alice and her aunt, Margo Warnecke Merck, manage an 80-acre vineyard, which produces some 350 tons of grapes that they sell to labels like Decoy, Matanzas Creek and Herzog. Alice holds back an additional 20 tons of fruit for her own<\/span>\u00a0label, SUTRO Wine Co. Her favorite fruit to work with is Cabernet Sauvignon, she says. \u201cIt\u2019s the variety that can do the most. I love the grippiness and bitter taste.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI do often think about tannins as deep shadows on a painting.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

With a heavy harvest workload, Alice typically pauses larger works for a few months. Though, she keeps a list of musings and ideas close at hand and manages to create some time to write. She also occasionally uses an app on her iPad to \u201cfinish the stories\u201d on drawings that are not yet complete. But the time away from more ambitious projects is another chance to recharge. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI like that distance from it. I get reinvigorated to return to art-making with the seasons.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Ever the farmer, with the promise of the future in mind, Alice is hopeful that this fall\u2019s harvest will be the best vintage ever. After all, she says, \u201cAll farmers are idealistic romantics at heart.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Alice Warnecke Sutro\u2019s installations will be on display at Harmon Guest House<\/a> through September, and she is also currently at work on a new exhibition at Escolar on the Santa Rosa Junior College campus in November. <\/em>For more information, visit\u00a0alicesutro.com<\/a>.
