Next week is a very busy week for me! I’m hanging my Open Studios show at Secession on Monday, and then hanging another show at RAG Co-op in Hayes Valley on Tuesday. The reception at RAG is on Thursday, the Secession party is Friday, and then I’m at the studio all weekend for Open Studios. Whew! Hope I make it.

So, the events this week:

Reception on Thursday, September 29, 6-10pm
RAG Co-op, 541 Octavia St in Hayes Valley, San Francisco

Reception on Friday, September 30, 6:30-9:30pm
Secession Art and Design, 3361 Mission St at Virginia, San Francisco

Open Studios Saturday and Sunday, October 1 & 2, 11am-7pm
Secession Art and Design, 3361 Mission St at Virginia, San Francisco

I hope you can make it to one or both of the show openings. If not, both shows will be up until November 27 – Secession has my very newest work, if you haven’t seen it, but RAG will have a great selection of recent pieces too.

Tuesday I got all my work photographed by Bob Hsiang, who as usual did a fantastic job documenting my often-challenging-to-photograph work. Take a look at it in my gallery! Much of this new work will be up on the walls soon at Secession, for my October show. I hang the show on September 26 and it’s up through November 27.

Please join us for the opening reception on Friday, September 30, 6:30-9:30pm, or for our Open Studios weekend October 1 & 2, 11am-7pm. I’d love to see you there.

Visit me for Open Studios! I’m participating in the first weekend of Open Studios (Mission, Noe Valley, Bernal Heights, Castro, Excelsior neighborhoods) by hanging my latest and greatest work on the gallery walls of Secession Art and Design, where my studio is located.

Visit Secession Art and Design on October 1 or 2 to see my latest mixed-media paintings and my working studio – I’ll be there all day Saturday and Sunday, 11am-7pm, to tell you about my work and answer your questions. Joining me will be Hilary Williams, Rachel Znerold and Colleen Mauer, along with Secession’s curator, Eden Stein. It’s a great opportunity to view the newest work of several artists and get to know them a bit.

Also please come to our opening party on Friday, September 30, 6:30-9:30pm – it’s a great way to start off the Open Studios weekend. Have a glass of wine or some snacks with us – Secession promises to be very festive!

If you miss the weekend of Open Studios, please know that my newest art will be up on the walls through November 27th, so come by and take a look when you can. Secession is open noon to 7pm 5 days a week (closed Monday and Wednesday), or you can make an appointment to see them outside of those hours.

I’ll be showing my newer work at Andalu (3198 16th St, San Francisco) along with Sonya Philip from July 11 – August 8. Sonya is a fiber artist whose work I’ve always admired, and I’m honored to be showing with her.

Please come to Andalu Monday night, July 11, for our opening reception.(They’ll be offering half-price drink specials!) Dinner begins at 5:30pm. If you decide to join us, please mention my name when you make the reservation or when you arrive. It promises to be a great evening.

Xanadu Gallery has recently begun offering some of my work online, on its “Xanadu Studios” website. Take a look!

I have work in this show – from what I saw in the pre-jurying phase, there’s going to be a lot of great work, all affordably priced. Can’t wait to see it Saturday, I hope you’ll join me!

OPENING RECEPTION

Pick your piece,

take it home,

and hang it on your wall.

Overturn the establishment, strike a blow against mediocrity, and shatter the status quo at Arc Gallery’s “THE GUERRILLASHOW: Join the Revolution.”

The term, Guerrilla, has come to refer to unconventional and unexpected techniques that small groups employ to shake things up, force one to take a second look, and change preconceptions about the everyday world, often in a mobile and temporary manner.

“THE GUERRILLA SHOW” is a unconventional pop-up exhibition of artwork by Bay Area and Northern California artists where affordable artwork will be sold off the wall during the event. This is a great opportunity to add art by local artists to your collection.

All artwork on sale for $300 or less.
