Open Studios 2014 Art Tour
My weekend for the Santa Cruz Open Studios Art Tour is October 11 & 12. This last year I’ve taken a number of workshops with artists I really admire: Carol Marine, Ruth Korch, and Dana Hooper. I’ve learned so much from them and think that my work has taken leaps forward. Am excited to show samples of my latest efforts.

June First Friday Downtown Santa Cruz
Talk about an embarrassment of riches….I’ve been invited to take part in TWO First Friday events for the month of June!
Oil paintings and watercolors on display at Chefworks First Friday.
I’ll be meeting and greeting people at Chefworks, 1527 Pacific Avenue, Santa Cruz from 6pm to 9pm. I have several new oil paintings I’ll be showing and a watercolor or two.
Science Illustration installation on display at the Art Loft First Friday in June.
I’ll also be taking part of an invitational group show at the Art Loft, 1319 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz. The show “Reflections of Nature” will feature my installation – on being a science illustrator, and will feature many original plates prepared for the NY Botanical Gardens, private journals, and random, cool, science stuff (yup… a highly technical term).
On being a science illustrator – part of the “Reflections of Nature” group show at the Art Loft, First Friday Santa Cruz. in June.

Santa Cruz Art League Weekend Workshop – Journaling/Field Sketching – June 1 & 2, 2013
Yvonne, Joan, and Pat work on color theory assignment.
The sun was super HOT, but that didn’t diminish enthusiasm among class participants. What a lovely and dedicated group of artists!
Kris sketches Eucalyptus pods
We met at the UCSC Arboretum and took advantage of the amazingly strange and beautiful plants in the Australian section of the garden.
Dan’s sketch of Banksia framed!
It was pure serendipity that the Santa Cruz Museum of Art and History was hosting a Pop-Up Museum near us! We were invited to exhibit our sketching efforts as part of their exhibit. Fun and gratifying to have our work admired.

Shared studio space at Linda Cordy’s home
Through my friend Linda’s encouragement and support, I screwed my courage up to apply to this year’s Open Studios Art tour…..and was accepted. It was a fun and successful 2 weekends. Below are pix of the studio space and set up just before the tour began.
