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.

February Group Show at the Hive!

This painting 'the metamorphosis' has traveled up to Los Angeles to be in a group show at the Hive Gallery in Los Angeles. The inspiration for this piece was Franz Kafka and the place he lived. It is amazing to me he actually wanted his work to be burned.

The piece is 8" x 7 3/4" • $130 and was created on a small canvas mounted to wood painted on the edges.

Saturday February 6th is the opening reception from 8 pm - 12:30 am.

Train ride to Glendale

On Thursday I took my first train ride to Glendale CA. I traveled there to visit with the artist sisters CJ Metzger and Miss Mindy and to finish my part in the collaborative painting we are working on. Their studio was built by their Grandfather and is an amazing space! I feel so privileged to have been able to work with them. They are lovely, talented women! The painting is the one all the artists started to work on at the 'Trappings' show in January which will be auctioned off for the charity Lunch Bunch. My part of the painting was inspired by the migration of the monarch butterfly. These are my photos from the trip.
