Get a Lode of this

My cross-stitch piece Dr. Frank-n-Furter has been accepted to the Placerville Arts Association's 60th National Mother Lode Art Exhibition!

“This long-running Placerville Arts Association exhibit has grown into one of the region’s most anticipated art shows. Now hosted at the MACC for the fifth consecutive year, this dynamic exhibit features artworks from across the United States. With an open theme that does not adhere to the show’s name, each exhibition is unique, shaped by the distinctive selections of the juror. This show is a must-see, offering a diverse array of classic and contemporary art that captures the creativity and talent of artist nationwide.”

In the temple of the gallery scene

Well, 5 years after covid blew up my little art world, I am not only making art again, I am showing art again!! In fact, I have pieces in 2 shows this month.

Erin and I both have pieces in the annual Membership Medley at Blue Line Arts in Roseville.

My piece is a monotype "Damaged" that I made last fall during my gell plate printing phase. And Erin's piece is the first portrait that she painted! She kicks ass as I'm sure I've said before.

The 3rd Saturday Reception is July 19th from 5-7pm

The second show I am in is The Art of Printmaking at The MACC. This show is really exciting for me as it was juried and my first lithograph was accepted!

The reception was last weekend, but the show is up until July 26th and I can' recommend it enough. So much great work - and all printmaking! ::swoon::

Get out there and check out all the shows!

Kick out the jams!

Ladies and gentlemen…

Tomorrow, May 24th, the Rock Show opens at Blue Line Arts and I have two of my drawings included in the exhibit - punk legends Patti Smith and Henry Rollins

This is going to be a really fun show! The Opening Reception in June 15th, the week after my solo show reception. Unfortunately, I have the 2nd part of my periodontics surgery scheduled on the Wednesday between the 2 receptions. But I’ll be there - with rings on my fingers and a mouth full of stitches! #motrinismycopilot

So, June is going to be something! But I’ll worry about all of that tomorrow because tonight is Big Names Small Art at the Crocker Art Museum!!
