The boys at Good Mother Gallery just did a sweet little article on my work. You can check in out here: goodmothergallery.com/blog.html. I really love these guys and they are working hard to keep the Oakland art scene alive and thriving. If you happen to be in downtown Oakland, stop by the gallery and say hello. I have a few pieces up in their current group show. 308 13th street.
Tiny paintings for tiny people!
My wonderful friend Sacha runs a darling store for kids on Piedmont Avenue in Oakland. I did a very special, limited edition set of tiny paintings for her. They are available now and will be up for the next few weeks. Stop by and check it out! They are very affordable and a perfect way to kick off spring! Valentine's Baby & Kids is located at 3820 Piedmont Avenue.
PS-This could be the beginning of the children's book I keep talking about writing...
The amazing Mike Garlington!
My darling friend Mike Garlington is one of my favorite artists and collaborators. We fell into deep friendship love many years ago and have been supporting each other's creative adventures ever since. He is building something really magical and BIG this year and I'm super excited for him! You can keep an eye on him here: www.michaelgarlington.com
The funny thing about updating your website...
...is that you uncover all sorts of images that you forgot about. There was an archive of some of the more awesome moments in my life that were unearthed when I took the plunge and redesigned my website after 8 years. I hope to NEVER wait that long again, but it sure did give me a kind of perspective on my life (and how it has developed), and brought me back to all the wonderful times I have had in the Bay Area since moving here over a decade ago.
One of my oldest and dearest friends, Marcus Guillard (www.onehatonehand.com) took these pictures of me when I was in grad school. What I remember most is that I was tired...like super, duper bone tired. I was also really lonely, but at the same time incredibly happy. Marcus has always had a special way of capturing me at my most vulnerable moments, and I cherish him as one of the people that knows me best in this world.
Painting bikes forever!
I LOVE painting bikes and was invited by the SF Day School to paint a beautiful bike for their yearly auction. The bike was donated by Public and it was already super amazing! I just added a few finishing touches!
