New Show at Seed Corn Gallery, Berkeley CA

A new show opens at Seed Corn Gallery in Berkeley on March 20th, 2009. I was lucky to get one piece in the show. The theme of the show is "Beyond Boundaries".
I interpreted this as the boundaries of time and geography and presented portrait paintings of women members of my family, past and present, those individuals who reach out beyond time and space and created me and my daughters.
Seed Corn took one of the paintings for the show, "Giuseppina e Santina", oil and casein on canvas.
The show reception is this Friday, March 20th at Seed Corn Gallery 1918 University Avenue, Berkeley CA. The Reception is in the evening, I will post the time as soon as I know.

Spring Emerging

Another video with bees and others taking center stage...

New Work....video...Photo and Paintings together at last!

Found a new medium to share my work. Working in this video with my photographs photoshopped with selected paintings and added sound effects...too much fun!

Newest Painting, Tigers...

Completed a painting recently as a commission for my daughter's boyfriend who loves tigers. A bit out of my recent focus, but good to do to keep my painting muscles flexing...oil and cold wax on canvas, 20" square...
