Trendy jacket from the 80s (I hear they are back!) or how I’m getting some art out into the world this summer? Well, with the temperatures already hitting the triple digits here in northern California, I don’t think I’ll be needing a jacket, so I’ll just participate in a couple gallery member shows over the summer months. I think that is a better fit for me. And the galleries are always air conditioned! First up I will have a photographic print – a gold toned kallitype self-portrait to be exact – at Viewpoint Gallery:Silver Anniversary Members’ ExhibitExhibit Dates: Wednesday, Jul. 6 to Saturday, Aug. 6Artist Reception (Member Event): Friday, Jul. 8, 2016 – 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm2nd Saturday Opening (General Public): Saturday, Jul. 9, 2016 – 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm And then a couple weeks later a mixed media collage at Blue Line Arts:Membership MedleyExhibit Dates: Friday, Jul. 15 to Saturday, Aug. 203rd Saturday Reception:Saturday, Jul. 16, 2016 – 6:00pm to 9:00pm There are a couple more upcoming shows I plan on entering in the coming months.

The Whole Ball of Wax
The Sierra Wax Artists group will be holding a member show next month at Arthouse on R. I will have at least one piece in the show, hopefully two. It is going to be a really strong show! So many beautiful pieces – encaustic paintings, monotypes, cold wax paintings – something for everyone. Hope to see you there! I will be participating in another group show at Arthouse in June. “Collage – Invitational Group Exhibit”. In the meantime, I need to start thinking about my submissions for the upcoming Crocker Art Museum Art Auctions and the California State Fair Fine Art Exhibition.
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: Received an Award of Excellence!!And the second piece is my latest painting “Singing Over the Bones”: Received an Award of Merit!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 6×6 | 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. _________________ 6×6 at the Sacramento Temporary Contemporary: June…
