Appreciation for the moment.

I believe 2 months of shelter-in-place has changed a lot of how we as a society behave and how we think about our future. To relax and move anxiety towards a more positive state of mind I went to my studio a lot. I am lucky to have my own studio where I could shelter safely 🙂

I decided to play and experiment with ideas that I have had for a long time. Finally I began with all these new projects I’ve been dreaming about. It was liberating! I brought out some paint from my storage, amazing and fun colors, to do monoprints. I had collected leaves of course as it is one of my passions to photograph.

the fun is to begin..
Oh, I love these colors.. this blue green quickly became a favorite of mine.

I have so much to learn from my painter friends! Like… how to perhaps have a simple vision beforehand because when the paint is down on the paper you can’t really photoshop it away or desaturate parts of it. Hahaha!
Well, that’s what learning is all about.

not really done yet.. some more colors perhaps?

Amazing!

I am moving!
…..to my own studio
😀

Still at the shipyard and in Building 101. Just a few coridoors west of my old place. This is such an amazing opportunity that I have been waiting for a very long time. I can’t believe it is really happening!

Still figuring it out… where shall all my stuff go? 😂

Color matching prints

Custom color matching prints for client that is adding work to an older collection of mine. A different tint will become a sepia toned print before it’s framed. This is such a gratifying job when you know they will go to a good home.

This photo was taken during a foggy morning walk. Moody gray weather sometimes inspires me. With my camera in my hand I captured this photograph of a leaf on the ground, I love drippy drops and how they beautify their surrounding.

August is here and it’s time to print and see what I have created, to mat and frame my work is an important part of my artistic process. Creations changes with different media; from monitor to print and what paper you use when printing, used color on mat board and frame.. it all comes together as one product in the end.

Preparing to show my photographs to the world.

Shipyard artist’s Holiday show is on it’s way..

December is almost here and I have been preparing myself for our Holiday Show.
This is my favorite event of the year that we organize here at the shipyard. I find it smaller than our other open studios and it‘s more intimate where I have time to talk and engage with visitiros in a different way.

So… Stop by on Sunday, December 2nd, 2018. 11 to 5PM at Hunters Point Shipyard, building 101 studio 1306 in San Francisco.

Holiday Show at Hunters Point Shipyard on December 2nd!
Find me in Building 101 Studio 1306 – first floor between 11 to 5PM.

This is the weekend for my open studio.

April 21 to April 22, 2018.
I hope you have planned to stop by for a visit.
I’ll be here at Hunters Point Shipyard, Building 101, Studio 1306 selling and showing my photographs.
The event is open Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 6pm. We are 150+ artist opening our studios and it is worth a visit.
