This past weekend, I participated in Art Explosion‘s fall Open Studio. I’m fortunate to be able to rent a wonderfully cozy space with some friendly folks in a great little art community within walking distance of my house. This is where I escape to make paintings when I’m taking a break from commercial work. For those of you in SF who may have missed it, there will be another Open Studio happening again October 1-2 and a holiday sale sometime in December. (Date TBD)
I plan to be at the December sale and will host a kid-friendly, hands-on activity in my space. Stay tuned!

We so wanted to be there, but between Nathan’s birthday party and a trip to Pacifica to see Roger’s mom, it turned out to be impossible. Next time!
Aw, bummer, Elizabeth. Let’s try to find another time to get our families together.
