Off to Europe

I will be spending some time in Europe this month, leaving on Tuesday.

Thanks to all of you who came out for the Mission Artists Studio Stroll this weekend. I enjoyed lots of interesting conversation and had a good time.

I also wanted to share two write-ups on local blogs about the show:

The Shadow SF

Mission Local

Thank you so much for coming by, for all the nice and thoughtful comments and for signing my mailing list!

See you at the next show.

Party tonight!

So I found out that I will have a really beautiful space for this weekend's Open Studios- it is very close to the entrance when you come up the stairs to our courtyard on the second level:

studio# 225.

Hope to see you there!

ActivSpace Open Studios- tarot readings anyone? moped parts perhaps?

This is my first Open Studio event in this fabulous building- we are hosting a much anticipated 

Opening Party on Friday, 4/24

I really hope to see you there!

If you can't make it, all participating studios will be open Saturday and Sunday as well.

(4/25 & 26)

You should not miss it, this major event happens only twice a year.

We are an amazing mix of artists and entrepreneurs and the place buzzes with energy.

There is a lovely second floor courtyard surrounded by small chic storefronts you can't see from the street- that's where we have our parties... you have to see this in person, it is really pretty.

statement for City Skies

My subject is what I am surrounded by- heavy sky against the silhouettes of the city.

San Francisco can be easily lost under a haze of habit and drowned out by floods of spectacular sights. My paintings look for the noteworthy in the everyday, surprise and beauty in the seemingly mundane- an abundance of which is undeniably found here.
