Remembering the Romance of Art – Mixing the Beautiful with the Profound
Genre-busting San Francisco artist Marilyn Yu has a knack for creating magical experiences. To celebrate the launch of her latest book, La Femme Fatale, Marilyn is creating a multi-media experience of her heroine Eva’s world complete with beautiful objects, videos, live music, ritual, and intimate story-telling. Marilyn and her co-writer Heather Papp will do card readings from La Femme Fatale accompanied by the band Laguna Sunrise. See the sensual and mysterious short video about Eva building a life in San Francisco’s Barbary Coast by Marilyn and Matthew Abaya. Relax and enjoy a guided journey inward.
Guests are encouraged to come dressed for a mystical journey (to be interpreted as you wish).

Marilyn will be signing copies of her books on Eva: La Femme Fatale and Relations That Suck.
“La Femme Fatale†tells the mythic story of Eva the vampire encapsulated in a deck of cards. Intricate illustrations enliven the personal narrative of a struggle for self-determination. This contemporary heroine inspires compassion while the card format encourages introspection. “La Femme Fatale†is an art tool to catalyze the spirit.
“Relations that Suck: The Story of Eva and Dries,†a fable about the friendship and destiny of Eva, a creative vampire who likes people, and Dries, a traveling spider who disdains web-spinning. “Relations That Suck†is a piece of art in book form that bridges the worlds of fine art, fashion, and fiction. It portrays the tragedies of denial and guilt through thirty-five dramatic photographs accompanied by a poetically heart-breaking narrative.
