I moved into a new studio in April, sharing with the talented Kim Marra. Our work compliments each other and it's been such a joy to have her energy and inspiration in the studio. We invite you to join us on SATURDAY JUNE 9, 6-10PM as we open our door wide. EVENT DETAILS
We'll be one of 45+ studios open at Keystone Art Space.

So excited to be installing my show this week at Keystone Gallery! I selected each of these artists because they are all working around the theme of memory and place, but in diverse ways that will lead to interesting conversations. Show runs Feb. 17-26, full exhibition details here.
I have one painting in this fun group show opening on Saturday at Cactus Gallery. Full event details here.
Read about the inspiration behind my painting, "Yes She Can" here.

Read MoreThe StARTup Art Fair was an exhilarating success! Over the course of the 3-day art fair, my fellow exhibitor, Shannon Amidon, and myself gave away hundreds of cards and talked to close to a thousand people about our art. Here's a video of our room on Day 1:
The Fair takes place at Hotel del Joie in the Marina District of San Francisco. It was a gorgeous, sunny weekend, which helped bring out a record number of attendees. We transformed our regular hotel suite into a gallery by moving all the furniture, papering the walls, bringing additional lights and hanging our work without nails - it's magic! It was a lot of work, but well worth it. You can see a big of our process in this slideshow:
I couldn't have asked for a better exhibition partner! We were honored to have both been selected off our joint exhibition proposal, Seeking Harmony, a theme which really resonated with many of our audience.

Oh yes, and we got some press coverage too:
I'll be posting more about the couple of new series I debuted at the event soon, so stay tuned.
You can purchase Shannon's work here and mine here.

Read MoreWhat does "Pickles Galore" mean anyway? Answer: absolutely nothing. Here's how my fellow exhibiting artists and I came up with the name - we all wrote two random words on pieces of paper, put them in a hat, and picked out various combinations. I guess we were in a silly mood that day, because the best combination was "Pickles Galore."
This show features 9 artists who I have been meeting with once a month for the past year in a Peer Critique Group. What's a "peer critique group"? Good question. This is a group of artists who gets together and gives constructive criticism about each other's art. This particular group is made up of LAAA/Gallery 825 members.
The show is curated by the fantastic Linda Vallejo, who is picking the work tomorrow, so we'll all be surprised on Sunday!
Click here to RSVP at the Facebook event. This show is free and open to the public.
