Living Large Exhibition

Featuring large-format, two-dimensional works, Living Large at the Bankhead Gallery revels in lush abstracts from seascapes, nature and figurative images, to non-representational works that celebrate “joie de vivre.” The exhibit showcases artists from across the Bay Area and features media as varied as the artists themselves including oil, acrylic, pour media, photography, and mixed media.


Living Large will be on display from January 8 through March 2 and is free and open to the public from 12:00 noon to 4:00 pm Monday through Friday and for ticketed patrons during performances.

An opening reception on Saturday, January 18 from 1:00–3:00 pm will offer the opportunity to view the works and meet the artists. Live music by Matt Finders and Friends.

East Bay Open Studios

I'm excited to tell you about an exciting free art event that I am participating in this June along with more than 200 other artists. 

The New East Bay Open Studios Event begins on Friday, June 2 at the festive Opening Celebration/Preview Exhibition and After-Party at the beautiful, historical 16th Street Train Station in Oakland. I will be showing my artwork in the Preview Exhibition at the Opening Celebration along with 100 other artists at the train station. After the Preview portion of the evening, there will be an After-Party with a cash bar, food options and inspiring live performances sponsored by Salle des Artistes. The Opening Celebration portion of the event is by invitation only, so I would like to invite you to come and be our guest. You won't want to miss this! To receive your invitation, please click here to submit your name for our guest list - http://eastbayopenstudios.com/guest 

The Opening Celebration is then followed by two inspiring weekends (June 10/11 and 17/18) of self-guided tours of artist studios and exhibitions throughout 15 different cities in the East Bay.  This is a great opportunity for you and other art lovers to come out and meet the artists in person, ask questions, view their art and make purchases directly from the artists themselves and in some cases watch live demonstrations and enjoy refreshments. I will be showing work at the Bothwell Arts Center during Weekend 1 which is Saturday and Sunday, June 10th and 11th from 11 am - 6 pm. I am number 205 in the artist directories and on the maps.
