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”

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

I was turned on to an Korean artist recently whose photographs are at a gallery in SF right now. His work is rather amazing: http://www.kimjoon.co.kr/. Apparently he paints all the pieces first, then arranges and photographs them. Sounds easy enough – until you look at them. Wow!

The November show at the SF Women Artists Gallery is, not surprisingly, themed “Thanksgiving”. My two entries above were juried in. Thank You Notes (11×14 with black mat) was renamed for the occasion, otherwise seen on my website as “Music In The Air”, shot outside the Taste of Rome in Sausalito of the SF Medicine… Continue reading Thanksgiving Tributes

Two new pieces juried into the SFWA gallery October show: The Harvest Bowl was shot back in 2005 in London (at my friend Lindsay’s house). I retrieved it from my disk and ‘worked’ on it, cropping, moving, and finally adding some detail. It’s printed at 16 x 20, unmatted, in a really nice gold frame.… Continue reading Harvest Show

So, my photo, Piano Hands received one of two Merit Awards last night at the San Francisco Women Artists Gallery. The jurist was artist Joan Finton (see her art here). She’s done some wonderful drawings of musicians – maybe why she liked Piano Hands! I’m planning to go to an opening of her new show in Berkeley next… Continue reading Award

I was very pleased to have two of my photos accepted for the August Show at the SFWA Gallery (3489 Sacramento Street, SF). There’s an artist reception Thursday night (8/12/10) from 5:30 – 7 so if you’re in the area, please drop by.

I like EASY photo contests – and of course ones that don’t break the bank. I just found out about Travel & Leisure’s monthly photo contests which have no entry fees. I put up a few of my favorites – we’ll see….

During my show in May (where I sold 12 pieces!) I didn’t have time to update my website, though my camera was busy. I’ve just uploaded 9 new images to my site. Three new photos (the top row), three new digital paintings and the bottom three are abstracts which can be fun to gaze at:… Continue reading May was a busy month

Last night I went to the opening of the quarterly Art Exhibit at the San Francisco Dump (http://sunsetscavenger.com/AIR/). Amazing and quirky stuff made from what people throw away. Poetry, music and freshly made waffles. I only took a few photos before my battery died. Small versions here:
