What was I doing at 5:00 this morning? Creating a Pinterest Holiday Gift Guide! (Do you love Pinterest as much as I do?)

My Holiday Gift Guide features gifts and stocking stuffers from $2 - $160, and includes a few of my photographs and some Able + Baker originals, as well as an array of items to love from other Independent Designers, Artists, and Vintage sellers.

If you're looking to support Independent Designers and small businesses this holiday season, my Pinboard may be a fun place to start.

I'll be adding more items throughout the week, including items from fellow Unique LA participants. Have I mentioned that I'm participating in Unique LA this weekend? It's going to be one busy and exciting week!

What is my Gift Guide missing? Send me links of the products you're loving this holiday season... I'd love to see.

Thanks everyone, I hope you have a great day!

Exhibtion + New Work at SFMOMA Artists Gallery

The week's off to a sunny start, and I have two bits of new to share... I've been invited to participate in a Bay Area exhibition curated by Carrie Lederer of Bedford Gallery, and Steve Pon of SFMOMA Artists Gallery.

"Habitat: Explorations of Home and Shelter in Contemporary Art"
California Bank of Commerce
3595 Mt. Diablo Blvd., Second Floor
Lafayette, CA

20x30 prints of "Life in Lemon Yellow" and "Valley of the Moon Apartments" are on view through May 13, 2011. I attended the Opening Reception on Thursday, and really enjoyed the work of Kerri Lee Johnson, Tyler Bewley, Mary Bayard White, Michelle Nye, Terry Hoff, Jeannie O'Connor (to name just a few!) and encourage you to check out their work.

Also... "Life in Lemon Yellow" and "Palm Springs Imperial" are now available for rental or purchase at SFMOMA Artists Gallery in Fort Mason Center (San Francisco). The Gallery is in such a beautiful space with gorgeous views of the Golden Gate -- if you're in San Francisco you really must visit! Also, you might like their new blog, here.

Thanks everyone...

SFMOMA Artist's Gallery Warehouse Event

I am proud to be participating in this year's Warehouse Event, which kicked off last night and will run through Sunday, May 9. Each year the SFMOMA Artist's Gallery invites 300 Artists to participate, and let me share with you how it feels to be 1 of the 300... it's nice. really. very. nice.

Last week, I volunteered at the Gallery and it was so much fun. I helped check-in artwork, and got to peruse much of the work for sale. Truthfully, the amount of really cool artwork I saw was a bit overwhelming. Does it make any sense to think that the last day of the sale would be the best day to go, for the simple reason that there's less to choose from?

As if the array of artwork isn't enough, the Gallery itself is situated in Fort Mason Center, with a picturesque view of the water and Golden Gate Bridge.

All purchases directly benefit the Gallery and Artists. Not in San Francisco? You can view a selection of the work for sale by visiting the Gallery's Facebook page.

The artwork on the Event invite is by Paul Madonna, whose work you can also see for one more day at Hotel Biron (one of my favorite places to see and show art!) Go see, go see...


Thanks everyone!

Air Conditioned Electric Invite

Hi everyone, Here's the official Invite to my Hotel Biron reception.
I hope to see you there!

Showtime, San Francisco!

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. I've been a very busy girl, and am excited to announce that I'll be exhibiting photographs in two San Francisco establishments this week!

Thursday, October 1, I'm premiering a solo exhibition at Hotel Biron, Wine Bar & Gallery. I hung the show yesterday, and I'm beyond excited about the way the photographs turned out!

This exhibition, titled "Air Conditioned Electric Heat," features 28 roadside photographs, including a new batch from my Las Vegas, New Mexico roadtrip this summer.

For this show, I had the inkling to depart from the traditional white-matte-black-frame approach, and opted instead for no-matte-white-frames. I searched high and low for the perfect white frame and could not find a single contender. Lucky me, my ever so gracious woodworking husband agreed to make me 40 white frames on short notice. The frames are absolutely beautiful, and I think they are a perfect choice for this Collection.

If you're in the Bay Area, I hope you can join the fun on Thursday evening.

Friday, October 2 (My Birthday!) I'll be exhibiting at Artist X-Change, a retail gallery space in San Francisco. I am one of many Bay Area Artists to be included in the October showing, and I'm thrilled to participate.

Here's a sneak peek at the Hotel Biron show...enjoy!

In waking life my exhibition is bursting with color --
I just don't want to spoil the fun of seeing the show in person. Makes sense, right?

"B" marks the spot. Front entrance to Hotel Biron.

More details and quite possibly another sneak-peek coming soon...

Sacramento here I come...

If you happen to find yourself in Sacramento on Saturday, try to pull yourself away from the Railroad Museum just long enough to stop by and say 'hello.'

I'll be participating in the Handmade Parade Craft Faire at Giovanni Hall, and will have a cheerful array of photographs in tow....


See you next week...Enjoy, whatever you do, wherever you are...
