Creativity runs in the Eames family

Many of Llisa Demetrios’ earliest memories consist of sitting in the living room of her grandparents home, showing off colorful childhood projects fashioned out of yarn, clay and wood. As Demetrios grew, the creative couple taught her about various art forms and the necessity of hard work, but also the willingness to have fun. These grandparents were none other than internationally renowned design experts, Charles and Ray Eames.
Three artistic generations of this family is being celebrated in the Petaluma Arts Center’s newest exhibit, “Work & Play: The Eames Approach.” The gallery will feature a mélange of photography, film, sculpture and design concepts tied together with the themes of curiosity and experimentation.
