Fresh Works – opening reception April 5 – Pleasanton

I am beyond honored to be part of the Fresh Works exhibition at the Firehouse Arts Center in Pleasanton! This incredible show showcases amazing recently created artwork and it’s truly a privilege to have my work featured alongside so many talented artists.

If you’re in the area, I highly recommend checking out this dynamic collection of work. The opening is a great opportunity to connect with the art community and meet the artists.

The Firehouse Arts Center has been a cornerstone for art and culture in Pleasanton, and I’m thrilled to contribute to such a vibrant space. Come out, enjoy the art, and experience Fresh Works for yourself!

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Art Walk

Where you will find me!

October 14 – I’ll be at the ArtWalk event in Livermore. Booth #8 is on First Street, closer to Livermore Ave side. Let me know if you can attend!

Solo show is officially open!

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

Thursdays & Fridays: 12pm-7pm

Saturdays: 10am-3pm

Been a while…

It has been a while since I posted here. I changed jobs (now working in the department of psychiatry for Kaiser) and have been focused on getting ready for the PAL art wall exhibit. This has been a goal of mine to have my work displayed. I am thrilled that it is finally happening!

Stop by the Firehouse Arts Center in Pleasanton July 29 – September 9 – definitely visit the main gallery, perhaps see a performance, but do go upstairs and see my artwork! You’ll see my digital and acrylic paintings. I will be there August 5th for a meet and greet. Hope to see you!

more from making art everyday

I am still doing the Bardot Brush – Making Art Everyday (MAE) challenge. I have been doing all of the prompts so far! I really want to learn more about how to use Procreate and this is the way to do it (for me). I am also excited about getting a subscription to SkillShare – I hope that I do not go down rabbit holes and start taking classes on too many topics!! Work and the Senate hearings are taking up much of my space right now.

busy little bee

I took the day off from work and boy did I need that! I did not end up doing all (or most) of the things on my to-do list. Guess I just needed to chill.

I love bees – my morning ritual is to watch them and attempt to take photos of them. Most end up blurry – so I ended up using an image from Pixabay. Pixabay is a fun place to get inspired – tons of beautiful images there. Image by Anrita1705 from Pixabay

Cherry painting on paper

Worked on another small cherry painting – this time on paper. I did not get over to the farmer’s market this morning. Instead, we went to Alden Lane Nursery in search for strawberry plans. My daughter made a pallet planter and was hoping to grow strawberries in it. Apparently, strawberry plants are hard to come by. She instead got bush variety green and purple beans, thyme and edamame. I am happy with this substitution.
