I'm working hard to finish a new series of blank art cards to have on hand starting in September -
'Local Tweets' (Backyard Birds along the American River). I enjoy watching and hearing them all in my garden. They are all so different, and it's been challenging and fun to try and interpret their movements and personalities.

'Summer of Love' Art Reception
Please join us local artists for a very groovy art reception at City Hall commemorating the 50th anniversary of the 'Summer of Love'. We'll have live music, wine, and snacks catered by Costa Vida. You can wear your hippie clothes or come as you are. :-)

I have one watercolor piece in the show - 'Epiphany'. This psychedelically bright show stays up through mid-October, and City Hall is open during business hours.

This is a fun one. Fifteen of us local artists opened our 3-weekend temporary art gallery in Rancho Cordova on Black Friday. Television show, 'Good Day Sacramento' sent Deuce Mason to interview us at O-Dark-Thirty the following morning.

You'll get a pretty good view of my art hanging at eye level and below, and my 'Aunt Amy's Tea Cups' series. Also, you'll see that I'm definitely a morning person!
