Here's my final chance to share this year’s work and catch up with new friends.
Holiday gifts, home decor, mental health boost: Original art enlivens a home!

I'd love to spend a few minutes in deep looking and conversation with you.
In addition to large pieces, I have Inspiring small landscapes, tiny paintings of my birds, digital prints, or note card collections ready to take home.
Or brainstorm a commission!

Studio is 1 Block north of Solano at Peralta. Look for signs.

Larger pieces on view to pique your interest, possibly in a commission. I’m looking forward to having the discussions that come with deep looking together.

Juror Emma Acker, American Art curator at the De Young chose the works on view at Bay Area Life 2018, at Valley Art Gallery in Walnut Creek.

She chose my piece as her favorite, but there were lots of great pieces.
