ARTrails Open Studio tour

ARTrails Open Studio tour
October 12 & 13, 19 & 20, 2013
Sonoma County's Premier Juried Open Studio tour

Studio 103 in the catalog
3840 Finley Ave, Building 32, Santa Rosa

Come by my studio during the ARTrails tour  to experience my new art.

For this year at ARTrails it will be predominately photography and I
will have new artworks of photography assemblage with 150 year old
windows from the Leesville Hotel, a landmark from historic California
stagecoach-stop days.

I have a new large studio and have filled the lobby with windows -
all that is needed is people to look through them, each one a unique
vision of nature, dreams, and mythology. I've been creating some of
the best yet for this show.

Hope you can make it out.

10am - 5pm all four days

Dreaming Ourselves Awake on the Equinox

With Mardi Storm & Travis Wernet
Friday September 20 to Sunday September 22

Remembering our dreams and exploring their meaning provides us with a rich imaginative doorway into the embodiment of truly creative approaches to being alive. Projective-style Dream Work is an ‘in the moment’ exploration of how we invoke the “not-yet-speech-ripe” unconscious. Combining this deep work with Intuitive Process Painting, using methods from Michele Cassou’s Point Zero process and Stewart Cubley’s Painting Experience, we will further explore what wants to be expressed in and for ourselves and each other, allowing what is not conscious to move through us by listening to our intuition...

Open Studios! Sat & Sun Nov 5th & 6th, 2011

I'm delighted to share with you that I am participating in Open Studios at The Studio Santa Rosa on Nov 5 & 6th. Please see flier below for details... The Studio is located at 3840 Finley Ave, in West Santa Rosa.

Art is always a worthy investment for what it does for the soul. Art has impacted and uplifted humanity since the beginning, our ancient ancestors committing brilliant pigment to rock in the deep darkness of sacred caves, and artists have continued to create throughout history regardless of economic and political climes. Purchasing art that speaks to the soul or uplifts the spirit can be supportive of your own transformation during changing times.

New Etsy Shop for Small Artworks
