Where you can find my art in October 2007

October is a very busy month for my art:

First and very exciting, I have 2 artworks that will be in the "Bold Expressions" exhibit at the Sacramento Fine Arts Center. I'm particularly excited, because I'll actually be able to attend the Artist Reception on October 27th.
The display, including my 2 chosen: "together/apart" and "Growing into my Roots", opens 11am Tuesday, Oct. 2nd and closes 3pm, Saturday, Oct. 27th.
If you have the opportunity to make it up there and see for yourself, please let me know what you think The Sacramento Fine Arts Center is located at 5330-B Gibbons Drive, Carmichael, CA 95608 and they're even having a Second Saturday Art Walk Reception on Oct. 13th, 5-9pm.

I've been asked back again at Altered Esthetics Gallery in Minneapolis, MN,
this time for the "Dirty Little Secrets" exhibition. This October show will include
4 of my works: "vulnerable", "the confessional", "Boxed up little Secret" and "covering it up with a pretty fabric doesn't always help". The exhibit opens Oct. 4th and runs until Oct. 27th. (I currently have 3 pieces with them as part of the
"Art of Sacrifice" exhibition which runs until the end of September.)

I will have 3 pieces in the Big Fresno Fair: "SuperMe?" from my "Self-Portraits" series, along with "moments" and "now and then" from my current series "Trapped inTransition". You can find the Fine Art created by adults in the Fine Arts Bldg. The fair runs Oct. 3rd-14th. (Also check out the Jr. Art exhibit in the Jr. Exhibits Bldg.)

I will have 2 pieces, "Not Without a Change" and "Flamenco" in the "Pink Show" exhibit at Chris Sorensen's Studio. This is a show with sales benefiting the Debbi Soligian Breast Education Awareness Fund. There will be an ArtHop reception October 4th, 5-8pm and a special Fundraiser reception on Oct. 12th, 5-8:30pm.

The "Community ArtReach" at the UC Center, Fresno (across from Fashion Fair) continues with 10 of my artworks, including the live chair installation that goes with "transparent stability" and a recording of the music written by my husband Tony, that goes with "Will I Dance". You can see and hear these pieces together.
Please go and see for yourself, as the UC Center has once again done a beautiful job of showcasing local artists work.

I will be the featured artist for the month of October at the Milano Restaurant on the Fulton Mall. On display will be my newest work from the "Trapped inTransition" series. Be sure and stop by for the ArtHop reception and sample some of their great food!

Also please go see and perhaps buy some of my art works at the Fresno Art Museum Gallery Shop. www.fresnoartmuseum.org.
And you can also find prints of some of my work at the Mullins Studio/Gallery in Clovis. Tell them I said Hi!
