At the beginning of the month, my husband and I became the proud occupiers of Studio E at the School of Visual Philosophy. “Studio E” makes me think of Sheila E and Prince from the 1980s and so every time I say it, I feel like I’ve been enveloped in a cloak of cool awesomeness. What’s the word for “cool” now? “Lit” I think. This whole situation is lit as fsck!

The red arrow in the photo above points to our open door. The place has a rough rustic-industrial sort of vibe. As you can see, we’re right off of the main classroom area, in the front of the building – a very public location. There’s no hiding out in that spot. It’s stepping out of the comfort zone for sure! 

We have a long way to go to get all moved in. My first act was to haul a couple of my paintings over there to claim the space as ours. Now I’m deep into deciding what needs to be moved over there and what stays in the home studio – a complicated process. It’s a long way from being presentable, but I’m happy to show our space off to local peeps. Just give me a call or email to set up a time.

Painting inspired by Mural at Leif Erikson Park

I recently had the opportunity to think about what community spirit means to me and realized my experience painting a mural at a local park was the perfect example. I’ve submitted this new painting to the City of San José’s Office of Cultural Affairs’ Public Art Program as an example of community spirit and resilience.

Fresh Art Hung in San Jose

I updated the paintings I have hanging at KALEID Gallery in San Jose, California today. This was the fastest update I’ve ever done thanks to amazing help from Fernando. I’d run out of quarters for the parking meter out front, and was putting in every last dime I could dig out of my car, which gave me about 3-4 minutes per each. Pitiful hahaha. Fernando was so much help! Together, we did the whole hanging in less than an hour and I didn’t get a parking ticket. Woot!
