About Art at the Bioneers Conference:
At Bioneers, we believe in the power of art to inspire action, facilitate cross cultural understanding and dialogue, and give voice to important issues. We believe in art as a form of protest, resistance, and hope. In honor, this year’s conference brings together a wide variety of artists who have devoted their lives to using art as a vehicle for personal and social transformation.

I wanted to share some new work that I’ve been finishing up from my Bone Series. There are 8 framed compositions of ceramic discs that were inspired by bone fibrous structures and they are held together with steel cable. The pieces and the cables float just off the wall so they cast really beautiful shadows that really enhance the pieces. The square formats are 2.5′ x 2.5′ and the rectangles are 2′ x 4′. I’m really excited to share these pieces with you all at Open Studios this October!
I’ve been cleaning, rearranging and organizing the studio for weeks to get it ready for my 14th (or maybe 15th??) Open Studios Art Tour. I’ll be showcasing brand new work from my Bone, Lichen & Umbel Series, so please come by and visit me at the studio!

I hope you can join me and 21 other talented artists at JCO’s Art Haus for the Affordable Art Fair. I’ll be showcasing work from the Lichen Series, so if you’ve had your eye on these pieces, this is your chance to grab them at very very affordable prices!
If you want to learn more about my work, come and meet me on Thursday October 12th from 5 – 8 for the meet and greet!
Many of you got to see, walk and experience the Umbel Series path since the exhibit Environmental Installations opened in late May and I’ve been so thrilled to hear how much you’ve enjoyed it. I had hoped that the piece would be on display until the end of the exhibit in November but unfortunately we’ve had some incidents of vandalism and the arboretum is also planning on some dirt work close to my installation, so I’ve chosen to remove it early from the exhibit. If you didn’t get a chance to see the piece in person, the drone video of it will give you as close of an experience as possible to being there yourself.
Art in the Arboretum: Environmental Installations still has eight spectacular installations up until the close of the show November 17th and I encourage you to go explore the arboretum and discover these beautiful works.
So where have all the umbels gone? Right now the flowers are in my studio and are available for sale via the online shop. Next week, the remaining unsold Umbel Series flowers will be making their own pilgrimage to south county. They will be assembled in a completely new formation at Sierra Azul Nursery in Watsonville as a part of the Sculpture IS: 2017 exhibit put on by the Pajaro Valley Art Gallery. Photos of the new installation will follow soon and I hope you get a chance to see it on display there as well.
Thank you for all the positivity that’s surrounded this installation!
