upcoming and current shows




I just found out today that "Basilisk, Orchids, Frogs" was accepted into the 26th Annual Juried Show at Gallery Route One in Point Reyes, CA. "Beautiful Beetles" and "Connections" have been accepted in previous years, but I do not always get into this show. The juror this time was Rene de Guzman.
There will be an opening reception on Sunday, Jan 23, 3-5pm. I'll send out an email notification, and I do hope lots of friends can come.

Another thing I'm excited about is that I will be in a two person exhibit at Gallery One in Petaluma, CA from February 28 - April3, 2011. I'll also be the featured artist in the Craft Gallery of Marin Society of Artists in April, 2011.

Currently, I am exhibiting beaded jewelry in juried shows at the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art (MarinMOCA) and the Marin Arts Council Gallery; miniature shoes and beaded jewelry in Marin Society of Artists' Small Treasures show; watercolors in the Marin General Hospital exhibit; a painting in the current Gallery One juried show; paintings and prints in a MarinMOCA satellite exhibit at the Squadron Building in Hamilton Field, Novato, CA. I also have paintings, jewelry and cards at my local Curves in Novato. More cards and jewelry are in the Craft Gallery of Marin Society of Artists and the Gift Shop of MarinMOCA.

Trying to keep track of exactly where each item is, what the drop off and pick up dates are, etc. is quite challenging. I hope I never lose the "Art On Location" chart on my computer!

New Cards


I just received 500 "Basilisk, Orchids, Frogs" greeting cards from my online printer, PrintPlace. They look terrific! It's a risk getting them printed without a hard copy proof, but I've had very good luck with this company. Also, it's hard to find a good, affordable printer that uses heavy stock that's glossy on only one side, and PrintPlace does it.

The first order for the Basilisk cards goes to the Discovery Corner at the Lawrence Hall of Science at UC Berkeley. (They carry a few other of my cards as well.) It would be fun to go visit sometime.

Now to think of who might like a boxed set for Christmas...
