I haven't done much in the way of gallery shows for about two years. I submitted a piece here and there, but for the most part, exhibits took a back seat while I focused on honing my skills and finding my style. After a year of selling online, I started to lose interest in getting back into the galleries, so I stopped bothering to follow calls for art.
In December, an opportunity presented itself that I could not pass up. I am not certain precisely how long I have wanted to do an art show with Sacramento artists
Allyson Seconds and
Nicole Roberts, but I'd guess it was around three to five years. Now, this Spring, that desire is about to be fulfilled!
Not only am I rejoining the land of real-life exhibits to show with Al and Nicole, but there are two new-to-the-second-saturday-scene photographers joining us AND we are showing in one of my favorite venues! Body Tribe has offered up their walls to all of us after a two year hiatus! By the way, if you haven't visited
Body Tribe Fitness before, you should. It is Midtown Sacramento's answer to an indoor dog park, gym, art gallery, meetup space and the best place to hear good music & corny jokes.
I've been working on a new and very different-for-me series of paintings for about 5 months, and they will be exhibited for the first time at this show. They are all nature-inspired and there is hardly a skull to be found (unless you look really hard). Admission is free and all of us welcome folks to just come on by and say howdy, meet some folks and take a look around.
Saturday, April 14th; 6-10pm
Body Tribe presents:
a nature-themed event showcasing the creative works of five Sacramento artists, each with a love of the natural world and who express it with their own individual sense of fun
