Friday June 3 is the end of a month-long art auction at the SFWA gallery. SFWA is a non-profit artist organization, and this is a way to raise funds for the gallery as well as to offer some great art bargains to the public. There are still close to 100 pieces of art to be… Continue reading SF Women Artists Auction Closing Reception

And the winners were…
My reception last night at the Bay View Boat Club for this month’s Art Wall was well attended, fun, and my work was very well received. Even though some of my fellow club members sucked up quite a bit of the smoked salmon before a single one of my invited guests arrived, I consider the… Continue reading And the winners were…

So back in February I started an email newsletter to disseminate my art news. Rather than duplicate the content here, you can now get this short, picture-full piece right in your own mailbox. Reaction has been very positive, so why not subscribe? Just go to my Contact page (under Artist Info) and fill in your… Continue reading Newsletters
¡Hola Oaxaca!
I’m off to Mexico in the morning – looking forward to sunshine, great food, wonderful art and colors, colors, colors everywhere. First Stop (and last) will be Mexico City. Loved it last year. Expect to again. Then short visits to two colonial cities, Taxco and Puebla – one for silver, one for history – and… Continue reading ¡Hola Oaxaca!
Award for Fresh Start
The February theme for the gallery show is Fresh Start. My first entry was easy – New Day On The Bay, originally a photograph taken off my aft deck one early morning in December. After much head scratching, I came up with a second one. And for lack of a better name, called it Fresh… Continue reading Award for Fresh Start

[Bright Spaces is a program of the Bright Horizons Foundation for Children, whose… Continue reading And now for something completely different
Framed Buddhas
There are 54 pieces in this month’s show – I’m not surprised that PEACE is a popular subject right now. My two are in the front and visible from the street – can’t ask for better than that. Here they are framed. Lots of nice work to see in this show, worth a visit if… Continue reading Framed Buddhas
Framed Buddahs
There are 54 pieces in this month’s show, so I’m glad my two are front and center – and visible from the street. Here they are framed. Lots of nice work, worth a visit if you in the Presidio Heights area.
January Gallery Show: “Peace”
I have two Buddhas in the next show at the San Francisco Women Artists Gallery. Buddhas struck me as the most appropriate way to signify peace. Both started with photographs of statues at the SF Asian Museum, but changed greatly along the way with the help of photoshop. Reception is Thursday and the postcard art… Continue reading January Gallery Show: “Peace”
December Art Show
Well, I have two pieces in the SFWA monthly show again, and one of them won a ‘Merit Award’. The theme is Holidays and I don’t do much in the way of holiday artwork, but I thought my End of the Party, left above, was appropriate, and then I remembered a photo I took last… Continue reading December Art Show
