Hi folks! It's been a while... is it too late to say happy new year!? Anyway, 2017 has been pretty busy, and some changes are on the horizon. ...stay tuned.

I don't know about you, but this year has just flown by for me, and I just realized its already December! That being said, this is a very late post with a last minute invite.

I will be collecting funds which will be donated to the Oakland Fire Relief  sponsored by the  Oakland Athletics Community Fund to help  support of the victims and their families of the Ghost Ship fire. I will be making this donation on behalf of the arts community of Livermore. If you can't make it to our event tomorrow, but still want to donate, please email me, and I'll share how you can help our efforts. Art ...

Come admire how unexpected materials have been repurposed and reused in wearable art! Local artists have created a wonderful show that is both thought provoking & spectacular. I don't have any wearable art in this show, but my 2d pieces are hanging in the founder's room for the duration of the show. You have a chance to check out some newer pieces that feature reused materials. Join us for the closing reception and fashion show.
