Inez Storer

Inez Storer was born in Santa Monica, California. She studied at the Art Center in Los Angeles, the San Francisco Art Institute, the University of California at Berkeley, and the San Francisco College for Women, ultimately receiving her B.A. from Dominican University in San Rafael, California (1970). She received her M.A. from San Francisco State University (1971).

After marrying fellow artist Andrew Romanoff in 1974, Storer took on the formidable role of caring for a blended family of six children, four of hers and two of his. Rather than keep her from working as an artist, the challenges of motherhood had the inadvertent effect of inspiring the “magical realist” collage method that has occupied her ever since. Storer also taught at the San Francisco Art Institute, Sonoma State University, San Francisco State University, and the College of Marin. In addition to her teaching work, she directed Lester Gallery in West Marin, which exhibited Carlos Villa, Richard Shaw, David Best, J.B. Blunk, John Roloff, Cornelia Schulz, and Irene Pijoan. Her paintings are included in the permanent collections of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, Oakland Museum of California, San Jose Museum of Art, and the de Saisset Museum at Santa Clara University. Romanoff’s work was exhibited all over the world. Inez Storer is based in Inverness, and has her studio in Point Reyes Station, California.
