I’m so excited to have a collection of 17 paintings in the Gallery Room of The Art House Hotel and Suites at 620 7th Street in downtown Santa Rosa. Please feel free to drop by any time to view them. And if you’d like me to meet you down there, please reach out. I’d love to have a coffee and chat in the space.

An exploration of inspiration, and the intersections between art and music. Featuring the ceramics of Joel Bennett, and the mixed media collages of Nina Bonos, Nishi Marcus & Gerald Huth.
On the Frame Shop side of the Gallery, these same themes are taken up by dozens more local artists! (That’s me!)

Get ready to visit an exciting exhibition revolving all thing FOOD. This is a colorful show that will not disappoint, with fantastic imagery and large sculpture. The Art of Food has partnered with the Redwood Food Bank for a Food Drive. Please bring any non-perishable food item to donate to be entered in a raffle to win a free ceramic class, a one-of-a-kind bowl by Robert Brent, or a print by Sally Baker!

I have a piece in this exhibition - very different from my usual style. If you go, let me know if you spot it.

Sonoma County Art Trails is in its 39th year of bringing artists and art lovers together in the place where the magic happens. Art Trails is a free county-wide art tour featuring over a hundred local artists.

In 1985, a group of artists started Sonoma County’s first open studio program. This was a chance to meet some of the County’s finest artists and discover how they create their art, while enjoying the beautiful fall landscape. In 2014, the program was officially adopted by the Sebastopol Center for the Arts (SebArts).

While visitors get to enjoy the art for two weekends each fall, the artists spend much of the year preparing for the event. The Art Trails Steering Committee is made up of artists who meet monthly to discuss the logistics and processes that make the program a well-oiled machine year after year. The artists in the program volunteer their time helping the program by doing jobs like creating and distributing the catalog, putting up signs across the county, setting up four preview exhibitions, mentoring new artists, and giving back to the community through various collaborations with Artstart, a local non-profit dedicated to empowering teens to explore their creativity through art.

Our artists rely on art enthusiasts throughout the region to visit, explore and support artists directly, helping to build a vibrant local art community.

In today’s fast-paced, often chaotic world, we find ourselves longing for spaces where we can feel comfort, engage in thoughtful contemplation, and experience a sense of security. Sanctuaries come in many forms, whether they be physical places, metaphysical states of mind, or places of human connection.

In this show, artists are exhibiting their version of Haven, beckoning viewers into these sanctuaries, and revealing the profound impact of these spaces through various mediums and techniques.

I’m excited to have been juried in this show. It is a wonderful collection of works. Let me know if you’d like me to meet you there to take a look around.
