Summertime Shows

The school year is almost over, the temps are rising, summer is just around the corner. And summertime means the California State Fair and Viewpoint's Annual Member's Exhibition!

And while as long as I pay my annual membership fees, the Viewpoint show is a gimme; I am beyond thrilled to again have 2 pieces accepted in the Fine Arts Exhibit at this years State Fair!

The first piece is a triptych of B&W photographs:

And the second piece is my latest painting "Singing Over the Bones":

This is a 30"x30" acrylic/mixed media painting. This canvas has been through so many stages and layers before this final version, it is a new direction for me and I am so pleased it will be included in the exhibition.

I'm also working on an extremely small by comparison 6"x6" piece for the The Temp's 6x6 | Year 2 show opening on June 6th.

And I'm still trying to decide on the piece to hang for the Viewpoint Member's Show. If I have the time between my son's volleyball tournaments, I might try to hand-color a print. No promises.

Heart for the Arts Benefit

I know this post is a bit last minute, but I have been sick since last week. So sick that I can't even attend this event tonight. So bummed. But here are the details in case you can make it.

More info can be found here at the event page.

I created a new piece for the this "heart" themed event:

"Hope"  20x24" acrylic on canvas. This is one of the selected pieces included in the event's Live Auction!
