Open studios - times two!

May is quickly approaching, which means it's time for Silicon Valley Open Studios again.  I was super excited to have my artwork (Flamenco) appear on the cover of the SVOS directory!  These directories are available online and at various locations throughout the area (for a list of locations, click here).  

 

I'm so excited, in fact, that I'll be participating TWICE this year!  The first weekend, I'll be at a group site in Portola Valley, exhibiting my glass and jewelry in a lovely, park-like setting with 6 other artists. Stop by 290 Golden Hills Drive, Portola Valley, Saturday or Sunday, May 2-3, 11-5 each day for a variety of paintings, sculpture, mosaics, glass, and jewelry.

 

The second weekend (Saturday and Sunday, May 9-10, 11-5 each day), I'll be exhibiting at my studio, 1000 Loyola Drive, Los Altos. I'll be exhibiting all my work:  paintings, prints, magnets, note cards, jewelry and glass.  Here's a sample of the new works I'll have:

 

I hope to see you at one of my Open Studios!

The new Bullseye Resource Center opened last month in Emeryville.  I waited until after the craziness of their grand opening to visit.  Yesterday, my friend Angel and I made the trek across the Bay to stock up on glass.  What a treat!  Instead of looking at tiny little squares on the web site and trying to figure out what the sheet would look like in real life, we got to pull out the actual sheets of glass and hold them up to the light.  

I can't wait to start creating with all my new glass!

They also had an inspiring exhibit, ACT 2 The Glass Track,  of pieces created by artists who began working in glass after careers in other fields.  The pieces were beautiful, and with some, you could really see a connection to their first careers.  I wonder if people will be able to tell from my work that I used to be a lawyer?
