Selections 2017

I'm happy to announce that my work will be part of this year's ArtSpan SELECTIONS and on display at the ArtSpan Gala on Saturday, February 11, at Heron Arts in San Francisco.

This is a true San Francisco Gala, and if you can still get tickets it's highly recommended. Tickets start at $300 and proceeds support all ArtSpan programs. There will also be a free artist reception on Sunday.

I'll be in superb company- among this year's Selections artists are Catherine Mackey, Rodney Ewing, Carlo Abruzzese, Randy Beckelheimer and my Revere Studio colleagues Vince Koloski and Lea Feinstein.

I hope to see you there!

We are going to Hollywood

I am getting ready for the
LA StARTup ArtFair, January 27 - 29 2017

WE ARE GOING TO HOLLYWOOD!!

I'm so excited I was selected to participate! I'll be showing with 35 great artists from all over, and it is going to be at a very special place: The infamous Highland Gardens Hotel in Hollywood.

From the ArtFair website:

"The Highland Gardens Hotel, a chic 1950’s era hotel (formerly known as the Landmark Motor Hotel), was a magnet for rock n’ roll elite in its former days, and today continues to be a beacon of old Hollywood glamour. The hotel maintains its renegade spirit, and its reputation as a playground for the artistic. Fair attendees may recognize the hotel from the 2004 documentary Camp Hollywood, its infamous connection to Janis Joplin, and the steady stream of famed and aspiring talents moving through its doors. Through its rich legacy and cultural connection, the Highland Gardens Hotel provides the perfect backdrop for stARTup Art Fair Los Angeles’s artist exhibitors to showcase their work."

More info soon.

If you have friends in LA, let them know we are coming. If you can make it down there, do it! You won't be disappointed, I promise.

Visit the Revere Studio, 1044 Revere Avenue C76

You are always welcome to visit the Revere Studio in San Francisco Bayview/Hunters Point, where I actually paint.

You get to see work in progress and whatever I have on the walls that day.

You can view reference shots, books and catalogs of all my paintings.

My paint tubes will be there and my messy brushes and it's generally a fun place to visit.

I will probably be painting when you come by, so be aware that there could be wet paint everywhere.

There is free parking on the street or in the lot downstairs, please don't block any roll-up doors or other cars.

The studio is located in Hunters Point, at the Bayview Industrial Park, the entrance to 1044 is midway down the building, behind the tree. See picture with the red arrow (left).

Come up the stairs and my studio will be in the first hallway to your right, number C76. 

 

 

 

Unfortunately, there is no passenger elevator.

Two large loading docks are available on the North and South sides of the building.

Also, you can purchase work if you wish, I have a card reader but also gladly accept checks.
