Score!

photo taken by Shonn

I just put six hand painted box purses at Score in San Diego. Stop by Dimitri's shop for vintage shoes and bags, clothes from far away places and interesting items. The store is located at 1750 Robinson Ave San Diego CA 92103. My boxes are priced from $110 - $150.
Gum is for lovers took some lovely shots of a few of the boxes. Check out his photos here.

Buzzin' from the Hive

I felt so at home getting the installation ready for the Hive, painting the walls, hanging the artwork and finishing the display. It was incredibly fun! The 10 minute video Shonn put together for me turned out great(which I will be posting soon)! It all came together in the end and the vision in my head came to fruition. I was lucky enough to meet a few of the other artists and my friend David Gough also has an intriguing painting in the show. There is still time to stop by, the show runs until the 28th.

Thank you to Shonn for all the hours putting the video together and for all the help, Nik for fixing all our technical problems, Macoe for the projector, John and Andi for letting us stay, Nathan for giving me the installation space this month, Julie for helping me make my dress and to my friends driving far distances to support me!

This Saturday

The San Diego Mesa College Museum Studies class presents:

Imaginarium: A Voyage into Creativity: Has the creative process ever been fully understood? Throughout history, artists have used creativity and imagination to convey their ideas in every possible medium imaginable. This exhibit showcases an eclectic group of five San Diego artists and reveals how they create their work. Come view rarely seen sketches, objects of inspiration, and other forms of non-traditional methods and materials used in the art making process.

During the opening reception, Katherine Brannock will literally ‘bring to life’ anamorphic pen and ink drawings with a feminist theme. Bret Daniel investigates formal relationships within linear compositions that are gracefully framed by molded luminous neon strokes. With a taste for satire, May-Ling Martinez engineers mechanically poetic sculptures. Wendell Kling presents a playful fusion of sound and lights in a magical interactive electronic sculpture and Celëne Petrulak paints nostalgic and soulful Pop Surrealist portraits.

The public is invited to join in a conversation on Imaginarium: Voyage into Creativity during the opening and closing receptions. The opening reception will feature a conversation with the artists, ‘live’ art performance and music. The closing reception will include live music and art demonstrations by the San Diego Art Department staff.
