Spectrum Art Auction

Last Sunday I went to the yearly Spectrum Art Auction benefiting Access Institute for Psychological Services at the Mezzanine, for which I donated a Limited Edition Print (of which there are still more available should you be interested).

It was a great event for a great cause, as Access supports San Francisco's low income and uninsured residents in need of urgent mental health services, something that has never been more critical than now under the current economic situation.

We saw a great performance by my student Theo's band from Bird, a San Francisco music school.

Open Studio at Workspace Ltd

It's time for Mission Spring Open Studio. I am taking part in the event at the Workspace Limited building where my studio is now, along with 300 other artists in the area.
Due to quite a bit of of reshuffling this past year I won't be showing a lot of new finished work, but will exhibit some of the same work as in the Fall Open Studio last year, oils and lots of work on paper. Saying that, I have worked on some new oil sketch portraits on panel that I am quite exited about and there's some work in progress also.

Yes, I moved studio again! I now work out of a nice quiet space with northern light at Workspace Limited on Folsom Street in the Mission district of San Francisco. Workspace is a beautiful old industrial building that has been converted into a large arts facility with approx 65 artists spaces. It also has a great gallery/events space downstairs available for rent at a very reasonable price.
