I am so thrilled about this opportunity to share my artwork! It’s always been a goal of mine to have my artwork displayed. Here it is; now a reality. I’ve had various iterations of imposter syndrome, dread and anxiety. Ultimately, I pushed through, gave myself many a pep talk, and attempted to quash those insecurities. I know that I am my own worst critic. That’s a work in progress.
Gallery Hours:
Wednesdays: 10am-5pm

I gave the new studio space a “test run” this morning. I found the thermostat (much needed on this hot morning), figured the lighting (switches are in the utility closet, now new art studio space), and somewhat got use to a children’s piano recital happening in the next room over. With all that, I was mostly pleased with the experience. I tripped or bumped into some of my stuff while I work (I move around a good deal). Still need to get the wifi password and find an electrical outlet near my space. I guess it’s all in time.
Last night, I attended the artist reception of the LAA Spring Show. I was so impressed with the quality of art on display! There were many beautiful paintings and 3D pieces. The jazz band topped it off! Fun night!
3 Heart Pins – 12 x 12 acrylic painting
Well, here’s the next painting in my sewing series. I just love these heart pins. What a sweet way to add your love to a sewing project!
I chose red, blue and yellow as a tribute to the primary colors. They are the root to all other hues.
“Pin Cushion” is my latest painting. It’s part of my sewing themed collection.
One of my studio mates suggested that I make it 3D by hammering in pins. I’m kinda tempted to do this. What a great idea! I think it will look cool – plus I can avoid some more tiny bush work! I’m going to test out the technique on a different canvas. If it goes smoothly, I’ll do it on this one. Stay tuned!
I am planning on expanding my button theme to include various sewing notions. I’m going to explore the many wonders of thimbles, pin cushions, measuring tape and spools of thread in all sorts of colors. Yay, now I have another reason to get over to Britex for inspiration and possible source material.
This painting is 12×12 acrylic. Be on the lookout for my Etsy shop.
I entered this painting in the Alameda County Fair art competition. I really like having my art work out in the world! It will be a good excuse to actually attend the fair this year. Which deep fried delight will I consume?
I am thrilled to announce that my work is up! This has always been a goal of mine – to have my artwork displayed in a coffeehouse. It feels great to see this come together. It’s also pretty powerful to see them up on a wall.
If you are in the area – check the work out and enjoy a poured coffee at Panama Bay Panama Bay Coffee
