BIG NEWS, art fans! First, I’m very excited to announce that I am officially represented by HANG Gallery at 567 Sutter St. San Francisco! Hooray! This is so exciting for me, as I have long appreciated this gallery, the artists it represents and the quality of their artwork. To be included in their family is an honor and a big badge on my imaginary artist achievement sash. So if you’re local to San Francisco, enjoy seeing regular rotations of local artwork, or ever find yourself visiting downtown San Fran and hankering for some art to ogle, think of HANG. They’re on Facebook, WordPress, Twitter, Tumblr & Pinterest – pick your social media poison to stay up-to-date. 😉
Next, I’m participating in Capital Artists Studio Tour 2013, an annual Sacramento area Open Studios event. Spanning the weekends of September 14 – 15 & 21 – 22, this free event gives art appreciators the chance to visit local artists in their studios. It’s a self-guided tour running from 10 am to 5 pm Saturday and Sunday. Preview artists in the digital version of the guide, available here, then set a course for an art class planet! Don’t forget to bring your wallet too, since Open Studios is a terrific time for deals.
My studio is open THIS WEEKEND, at 5850 Bridgecross Dr. Sacramento, CA. I will be opening the vault and displaying mixed media abstracts, original drawings, figurative paintings and experimental works from college- it’s an art clearance sale with many pieces under $50. I’ll also have those cityscapes that aren’t on display at HANG available for viewing / purchasing.
