Four Elements

Fiery Path, oil on canvas 9 x 12 in.

This month my work will be included in an exhibition at the San Francisco Zen Center for their celebration of Earth Week.
Honoring Earth: The Four Elements will be on display in the Julia Morgan-designed City Center at 300 Page St. at Laguna in San Francisco from April 1 - 30 with a reception on Friday April 26 from 7:30 - 9pm.
The Zen Center is open to the public, and has a bookstore that is open Mon. - Fri. 1:30 - 5:30pm and Sat. 11am - 1pm. The The SFZC website will give you information about other hours and events. I hope you can go and experience the architecture, the art, and the Zen.

Mission Nights

Woman at Velvet Underground Night 2012, oil on canvas, 10 x 10 in.

How lovely to be invited back to ArtZone 461 to show again in a group exhibition of small works. E. Dale Erickson is in the main gallery, and about ten of us, several of us as guest artists, have a few works each in the side gallery. Tracy Taylor Grubbs, who was my studiomate at Belcher, is in Small Works too so it was nice to be reunited (well, I've seen her many times since we all lost that beautiful studio, but now our paintings are together again)! The current show runs through March 31 and is open Wed. - Sun. noon - 6.
A funny thing happened with "Woman at Velvet Underground Night" on Facebook: ArtZone put up an album, comments started on this painting and the multi-band tribute night it was from, and we were able to determine who the mystery woman in the yellow dress was! She seems happy with it.

Happy Valentine's Day

"Heart of Candles" 2013, oil on canvas, 11 x 11 in.

Sorry this post is a couple days late! I'm still planning out what I will be doing and trying this year. I look forward to receiving lots of rejection letters and having a few exciting new things pan out in 2013!

In the Spring a. Muse Gallery will host a special fundraiser for Maitri (residential care for people living with AIDS). "Significant Others" will feature readings of residents' amazing stories, and an art exhibition which I'll be a part of. I'm currently working on portraits of a couple of Maitri residents.

I hear that some of my little fire in the woods paintings will be included in the San Francisco Zen Center Art Lounge's April group show; in honor of Earth Day it will have a four elements theme.

SFZC Exhibits

I have an Etsy shop but don't know if I'll continue:  it feels like Etsy has changed and it's really hard to get views of your shop now without promoting. So, please visit my shop!

Finally, I have a Pinterest (and am trying to figure out what that means). Why not go see and share my stuff on there as well as my board of artists who inspire me.
