In the midst of getting ready to leave for Iceland, prepping for Open Studios and having a slew of little pop up art events going on, I’ve also been getting ready for an installation at Cin-Cin Wine Bar & Restaurant in Los Gatos. This show will be up for about six months and includes work from the framed Bone Series pieces and a site specific installation of the Relic Series.

This space came with it’s own set of challenges but I think that I was able to over come them to create a really nice exhibit. Here’s a sneak peek of the work, but make sure to get down there and grab a glass of vino while you check out the art! And if you’re interested in purchasing any of these pieces for your own space, you can contact JCO’s Art Haus for details…

Cin-Cin Wine Bar & Restaurant
368 Village Lane | Los Gatos CA
Exhibit Reception: October 24th, 6-8pm

Did you notice there were no blog posts on ‘the dirt’ last week?? What?!?

Well, with the big news that we ARE allowed to have Open Studios in our studios at Mission Industrial this year, I got super busy getting the studio ready. If you’re not sure what I’m talking about, you can read more here and here. I know it seems a little early, but by the time I come back from my Iceland residency, I will have about 6 days before Open Studios, so I’m going to just have the studio ready to go!

This year I will have a ton of work on display- new work, old work and I’m including photos of my outdoor installations. There are some series (like the Nest series) that only have a few pieces left – so this is the last chance to add them to your collection! Plus I will have some seconds for sale at super low prices and Art Hearts will be available too!

So please join me October 13, 14, 20 & 21st from 11 – 5 at 2523 C Mission St Santa Cruz, artist #307 in the catalog!

Just a few days ago, the artists at Mission Industrial Art Studios got word from the powers-that-be that we WILL be allowed to have our studios open for this years Open Studios event in October! YAY!!

If you’re unsure why this is the BIGGEST NEWS OF THE YEAR, then read this post first about all the changes at Mission Industrial. Then this post about what I had planned to do for this years Open Studios.

With this new exception in place, I will now be showing my work in my own space, 2523 C Mission St, Artist #307 in the catalog and I can’t wait to see you all there! Now that you’re all caught up, aren’t you excited!?!?

I should also note, that none of the other changes at Mission Industrial have been revoked, so we are still unable to hold classes or have other events and as it stands now, this could be the last Open Studios at Mission Industrial, so make sure that you get over here to check out the eight artists participating.

October 13, 14, 20 & 21 | 11 – 5

Sometimes it’s easy to forget about older works when there’s so much shiny new goodies coming out of the studio! So, I wanted to bring to light the last four remaining pieces from the Specimen Series. These little bento box style sculptures hold abstract forms reminiscent of the collection of rocks or shells that you keep near and dear. Each box has a small loop one the back for easy hanging. They are available in the online shop or if you want to see them in person, come to the Blue Umbrellas Art Fair next weekend! They may be a few years old, but they’re still treasures waiting to be added to your collection!
