Learning from Louise Bourgeois...

I bought the book that Rizzoli published about Louise Bourgeois and I am finding so much to learn... To start she says "Art is a privilege, a blessing, a relief...the privilege of having access to the unconscious."

Opening in La Paz...

Saturday night was the fantastic opening for La Galería Encantada in La Paz, BCS Mexico. The owner is sculptor Lila Magallón, who perviously owned Gato Negro Gallery in La Paz. The new gallery will not only have incredible artwork but a beautiful patio restaurant serving imported wines, cheeses and prosciuttos di parma. My artwork shines on their walls. Auguri!!

New Year's Eve...

Pure joy.

The Solstice...

We went with our African drums in hand to celebrate the Winter Solstice in Pescadero at the beach. It was an amazing full moon, a wonderful group of people, energy vibrating around the circle and the roaring fire. A little bit before midnight (our local time) the eclipse began, slowly covering the moon with an orange globe. AMAZING!

Bright lights... small town...

Having a bunch of discarded material sometimes becomes handy, like the other night when we realized that we did not have enough light above our table to see what we were eating. So I found a piece of re-bar from my studio, and wrapped around bubble lights added a cord, wire a few screws and voila... we have a little more light were we need it.

Diciembre en México...

Las pastorelas son unas de las costumbres mas hermosas de mi país. En Diciembre los niños de ls escuelas en nuestro pueblito Todos Santos los ninõs se visten representando a la Vírgen María y a San José y a muchos peregrinos que los acompañan. Paran y cantan "Pidiendo Posada" en muchos de los establecimientos en el pueblo.

Roses of the Desert Series...

In this series I used photography as the primary medium combined with found objects, and encaustic. The encaustic wax medium allows me to work in layers encasing fragments of memory as a means of stopping images and words in time. Of great importance to me is the “female” and discovering the similar dualities found in the female entity and in the desert planes.
