Hey everyone, It's that time again. Please join me May 1 & 2 for my 8th Annual Open Studio this year with guest artist Carmen Abelleira. If you havent seen much of her work hit the link below and you will get to see a few more. She has exhibited along with me for many years here at HumanArts Gallery along with Jack Fischer Gallery, Sundance Magazine, Los Angeles Times, Folk Tree, Art/Life Magazine, Farmer and the Cook, and Flatbreads. She is a self-taught artist originally from Cuba and works with found recycled materials making paintings and tin artworks.

I'm still having fun with my line of more affordable works that include jewelry, shadow boxes and small “recession buster” paintings. The garden after all this rain is looking fabulous and will be open (the great blue heron and the many gophers are especially loving it). Other reasons to visit this weekend are the Storytelling Festival and the Garden Tour in Ojai. Come by for a visit, refreshments and some inspiration.

Save The Dates! May 1 & 2

I'm busy getting ready for my 8th Annual Spring Open Studio . So If you can save the date and come by that weekend. This year the guest artist will be Carmen Abelleira (she's the one that doesn't look like a chicken). Carmen is originally from Cuba and does some really great work utilizing lots of scrap wood tin and whatever she finds. If you are an Ojai person you've probably seen her work at HumanArts Gallery, and she used to sell little tin dresses out of the Sundance catalog. Anyhow there is a sampling of some her stuff below.

Winter sketches

Here are some sketches that were my favorites from over the past few months that I think I will working into paintings somehow. The 8th annual Spring Open Studio is coming up May 1 & 2 so I'm working towards that. This year Carmen Abelleira will be my guest artist. (along with the garden looking quite good after the rain and I'm hoping two tiny new baby chicks)-More on all that soon. I just haven't posted in a while and wanted to share what's in the works
