painting at MACLA

I've got a painting in a group show at MACLA in downtown San Jose starting today (june 27) through july 14. The show is a community participation exhibit about neighborhoods, and I've contributed my piece "the Undevelopment Agency". I'm very happy that this particular painting is being included now because the whole Coyote Valley development issue is heating up again. MACLA is at 510 south 1st street in the SOFA district of downtown San Jose.

group show in Sacramento and other stuff

I have a couple of pieces in a group show of bird-themed art at Exploding Head Gallery in Sac this month - www.explodingheadgallery.com. The show is called "On the Wing". Gallery address is 924 12th St. in downtown Sacramento. The reception is on Saturday May 12 from 6 - 9pm and I will be there.

I'm also showing work in downtown San Jose at Kaleid Gallery. Kaleid is at the corner of 88 South Fourth at San Fernando. It's a big cooperative gallery that is the brainchild of Cherri Lakey and Brian Eider of Anno Domini and Phantom Galleries. Kaleid shows paintings, prints and other fine art alongside a lot of very fun jewelry and other gift type items. Lot of great stuff - check it out!

And, the group show "California Centered: the Environment" is still on view at the Merced Art Center www.artsmerced.org until June 1st.

I have a blog!

I have finally decided to enter the 21st century and create an art blog for myself! Here are a couple of announcements:

My work is featured in the February 2007 issue of Satya Magazine: www.satyamag.com
Satya is a great magazine out of New York that focuses on environmentalism, animal rights issues and social justice issues.

Also, I'm in a 2-person show with artist Guy Colwell at Esteban Sabar Gallery in Oakland. www.estebansabar.com. The show is called "Environmental Surrealists" and will be up through February 25. Esteban Sabar Gallery is at 480 23rd (off of Telegraph) in Oakland.
