Thank you all for a great weekend

A belated thank you to everyone who came by to visit at the Spring Open House. It was a great success, perfect weather, and even above average sales. I especially want to thank Joe (Baby Joe) Mueller who always knows just what needs doing and does it. Thanks Joe.

Biggie found last week making a break for it again. Luckily he hadn't gone far. Or maybe he (she?) was just on the way back from a little stroll. I wish I knew.

Back of the studio with Buffy hoping for a handout.

8th Annual Spring Open Studio Tour

May 1 & 2 11:00-5:00

175 N. Pueblo Ave. Ojai Ca

For additional information or directions call 805-640-8329

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.
