All Media Show in Irvine
If you have not been to the Irvine Fine Arts Center, it is time to go. This community center is known for their ceramic studio, jewelry, photography, and art classes in various media. The spacious art gallery windows look out onto Heritage Park and create a perfect setting for rotating art exhibits.
Two of my paintings were juried into the All Media 2014. Last Tree in the City and The Last Horse were painted after I visited a stable in San Jan Capistrano. Stately old oak trees are being relocated while barns and arenas are being removed to make way for new development. Earth movers noisily roam the dusty hillsides of the rapidly disappearing open space.

OPENING AT SANDSTONE GALLERY
What a perfect night for the First Thursday Art Walk of Fall. Crowds walked the street on Gallery Row stopping to carefully look at my latest series of mixed media narratives. They are painted with acrylic, gesso, pencils, inks, charcoal, metallic powder, and collage. I have always been an experimental artist who loves to create paintings worth exploring.
Here are some photos at the opening.

FESTIVAL IS ABOUT TO OPEN!
It is always fun to see the Festival ground's gradual transformation from winter calm to summer excitement. Here is my BOOTH 137, in the middle, just beyond the information wall as you enter the main gate. You'll see my name on the beige wall. I will be showing a new series of paintings titled, COMMUNITY. Can't wait to show you!
This is Victor, the best booth-construction-builder ever. He's putting finishing touches on the storage closet. Below are a couple of small paintings I'll be hanging on that narrow door. You are the first to see!

INSPIRED BY SOUTHWEST LANDSCAPES
The first Art Walk of Spring in Laguna Beach was fabulous. Crowds filled the Skylight Room at Sandstone Gallery anxious to talk about my abstracted landscapes on canvas. I love answering questions about my inspiration, materials, colors, travel, and, yes, even my framer! All of this inquiring means visitors are really looking. And, you must look very closely
to see all the detail hidden in these imagined narratives.
Here are a few photos from the evening....
I enjoyed seeing my clients and meeting new friends.
Thank you to everyone who visited Sandstone Gallery Laguna.
