Studio Open by Appointment
Even if you're unable to make it to my studio during an open studio event or to a gallery where my work is being shown, you can still have a look--and meet me. For a limited time, I'm opening my studio by appointment. No pressure or obligation, of course. Just call for easy directions, then come say hello and have a look at my work. I hope to see you soon.
Winter Open Studio
12/10, 12/11, 12/17, & 12/18/2011: I hope you're enjoying fall and the holiday season.
For two weekends in December, 11 a.m.-6 p.m., I'll once again open my studio (map and directions) to the frenzied art-buying public.
Here are some of the items you can take home with you to treat yourself or someone you love:
- My first book of night photos, Good Night, Ocean View, in softcover and hardcover
- Matted prints, framed prints, and even unmounted prints you can present however you like. They come in sizes from 8"x10" to 32"x40" and beyond.
- My Night Photos screensaver is only $20 and makes a unique stocking stuffer or Hanukkah gift. Kwanzaa? Solstice? Hey, I'm an equal opportunity gift supplier.
There will still be time during the show to order most prints in time for whatever holiday you celebrate. And there are lots of prints on-hand to take home with you. Plus, I offer domestic and international shipping.
Whew! I better get busy. All the best this holiday season. Hope to see you at my studio soon.
Exhibit and Reception at Domain
10/22/2011-1/22/2012: My work has been chosen by a trio of Bay Area art consultants for a three-month exhibition at Domain, a luxury apartment building at 1389 Jefferson St. (at 14th St.) in Downtown Oakland. Join me for a reception on Thursday evening, December 15, from 5:00 to 8:00. There will be food and drink and merriment. Come out and meet other art lovers, and be sure to say hello.
Excellent Use of Government Funds
7/26/2011: I must say, Alameda County has wonderful taste in art. For the second time, my work was chosen from a slew of work submitted (you can see a huge 32"x40" print of Overpass 1 in the county recorder's office in Oakland).
This time, two pieces, Tracks in Field and Silos, were chosen from among 2,300 pieces submitted for consideration. Hmm, does that make me a one-in-a-thousand artist?
Anyway, thank you, selection panel! And congratulations to the other 31 artists whose work was chosen.
East Bay Open Studios 2011
6/4, 6/5, 6/11, & 6/12/2011: For the eighth year, I'm happy to be participating in Pro Arts' East Bay Open Studios. I'll have some new prints and old favorites. My book of night photography is only $50, and my Night Photos screensaver is $20.
East Bay Open Studios is produced by Pro Arts, an Oakland-based nonprofit that supports the arts within communities by serving the ongoing needs of artists. Open Studios connects the public with over 400 regional artists and is accompanied by the Directory of East Bay Arts. More information and online gallery at www.proartsgallery.org.
So please stop by my studio between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., say hello, check out my work, and tell me what you think. If it moves you, please take some home so you can be inspired every day.
Interview with Me on Berkeleyside
5/19/2011: I'm excited about an interview with me that was just published by the Berkeleyside news site. Tracey Taylor, cofounder and editor of Berkeleyside, interviewed me and wrote up the piece. (UPDATE: She also came to my studio for East Bay Open Studios. Nice to meet you, Tracey!) Thanks to everyone who left compliments about my work, "liked" the article on Facebook, and tweeted about it.
The article also got picked up by SFGate (home of the San Francisco Chronicle) and The Bay Citizen.
My New Book of Ocean View Photos Is Out!
12/15/2011: I'm excited to have around 30 of the best photographs I've shot for my "Good Night, Ocean View"
project in a new book I created titled Good Night, Ocean View.
You can preview a few pages on my book page and buy it online or
from me in person. I'd be happy to sign your copy.
Winter Open Studio
12/11, 12/12, 12/18, & 12/19/2010: I hope, like me, you're enjoying fall and the holiday season. These two weekends, 11 a.m.-6 p.m., I'll open my studio to the frenzied art-buying public.
And to make my work even more affordable for those on tight budgets, I've made a few changes:
- 8"x10" prints are available again.
- Unmounted prints. You can mat and frame them however you like. They're much cheaper to ship too. You know I offer international shipping, right?
- New, lower pricing.
There will still be time to order most prints for Christmas or winter solstice. And there are lots of prints to choose from to take home with you. Did I mention that my Night Photos screensaver is only $20 and makes a unique stocking stuffer? It's so true.
Also, I'm excited to have finished my book of photos, Good Night, Ocean View. I expect to have copies of it by the second weekend. You can preview and buy it online or at my show.
Whew! I better get busy. Hope to see you soon.
Grant Won. Millions Rejoice.
10/15/2010: I won my first grant! It's a Quick Grant from the Creative Capacity Fund, a collaboration of the Center for Cultural Innovation and several California arts funders. Thanks, CCF!
I'll use the grant for art career coaching by Martha Zlatar of ArtMatch. She's a wonderful Bay Area art success coach. I had the pleasure of meeting with Martha in February, and I look forward to continuing our coaching relationship. If you're an artist who wants to be more successful, I highly recommend Martha.
Windowed Wall Selected for "Glimpses in Time" International Exhibit
7/2/2010-7/30/2010: Windowed Wall,
one of my newest night photographs, was juried into this year's
"Glimpses in Time" exhibit at the Joyce Gordon Gallery.
The exhibit opens Friday and runs through July 30. As always, it features
dozens of photographs from artists across the U.S. and around the world,
so there will be plenty of fantastic photography to see (and, ahem, collect).
I hope to see you at the free reception, which will be this Friday, July 2, 6-9 p.m. Refreshments will be served.
My work has been juried into all four annual "Glimpses in Time" exhibits. The juror this time around was Linda Connor, professor of photography at the San Francisco Art Institute, where she's taught since 1969.
"Glimpses in Time" is always a tribute to a late photographer, and this year we're honoring Imogen Cunningham. She was a peer of Alfred Stieglitz, Edward Weston, Dorothea Lange, and others, and her influence on the art form is still felt today.
The Joyce Gordon Gallery is at 406 14th Street (at Broadway) in Downtown Oakland, steps from the 12th Street BART station. You can catch the exhibit Thursdays and Fridays, 9 a.m.-6 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays, 1-4 p.m.
