Having grown up in
Nashville, Tennessee, Edie
Caldwell sought a cooler
climate and moved to San
Francisco 40 years ago.
She traveled the world as

Sutter Street. In 1991,

Union Square. Specializing in contemporary realism and representation art,
the gallery had locations in
San Francisco, Sausalito
