It’s a gorgeous day in Astoria! Sitting in my studio for Art Walk. I have recently painted my studio and am enjoying bright white walls which draw the light.
This weekend is also Astoria Regatta weekend so lots and lots of people are in town to enjoy the festivities.
if you get to Astoria please come by to see me. i’m open every Second Saturday 12-8.
I decided to take myself to two local galleries yesterday ... I needed to get out of my studio and seek inspiration. My first stop was the Bedford Gallery in Walnut Creek (www.bedfordgallery.org). It's small and easy to pop in when you have 30 minutes to spare. Their current exhibit is "About Abstraction: Bay Area Women Painters". It's a super diverse and interesting exhibit. I'm particularly in love with Cornelia Schulz and Linda Geary.
My next stop was the Berkeley Art Center (berkeleyartcenter.org). Their current exhibit is "Thread Heads" and it's nothing short of breathtaking. I'm not even going to say anything about it. Just go.
Needless to say, I got inspired and I've been working away in my studio. Sigh. We're super lucky to have such a plethora of talent in this area.
About a year ago, an artist friend (Susan Adame) invited me and two other friends (Wilma Wyss and Dobee Snowber) to create an exhibit idea to present to local galleries. We were lucky to connect with the Julie McCray, owner of SHOH in Berkeley, and a show was born! Please consider attending the monthly shows. You can follow SHOH at www.shoharts.com. AND, please come see what we've created!
