If you’re still pissed-off about having missed Louise Bourgeois at LACMA this spring,
get yourself out in time to see, Squeak Carnwath: Painting is No Ordinary Object at the Oakland Museum of California! No need to go around creating “Rosebuds” for yourself! The exhibition runs through August 23rd.
DVD box art for SWEETZER A Film By Wayne Reynolds
This is an unauthorized update:
Rumor has it that SWEETZER, Wayne Reynold’s feature length comedy, is close to being ready for release–at least based upon the fact that the DVD box artwork was recently completed. I can’t wait for Netflix to start shipping SWEETZER, it’s already in my queue!
Here’s a trailer, which I am pretty sure is not family friendly–but I don’t know your family.
Sometimes you meet some one by chance and years later, you realize how stupefying that person really is, Daria Salus is such a person. If there is a more focused, more prolific jewelry artist, I am not aware of her/m.
Daria, unlike so many people, makes the pieces–and then, wait for it–SELLS THEM! Not only that, she’s got a network of galleries that spans from the East Bay to Carmel Valley, and she is a fixture on the Art Festival scene. I generally get at least one notice from her, every month, telling me where and when I can catch her at whatever the coolest Art Festival is, that month.
Oh, her work is fabulous. I forgot to mention that. I appreciate the fact that she has a fully functional website, allowing customers to shop her current pieces, purchase one if they so choose, and keep abreast of her upcoming shows and events. When I grow up, I want to be more like Daria!
If you live in the Monterey Bay area and make jewelry or “metal art”, you’ve probably heard of Carol Holaday. If you aren’t already familiar with her, or her work, let me introduce you to this local treasure.
Carol is an artist, historically working in enamels, but has caught the glasswork bead bug. Her pieces–glass and metal– are always exquisite, with meticulous attention to detail. Her website is, of course, beautiful and inspiring. It is one of those sites that falls into the “the more you read, the more you learn” category. Her breadth is pretty amazing: photography, metal fabrication, enamels and now bead making.
You can gain from her experience for the pittance that is Community College tuition. You’ll find her most Fridays teaching enamels at Monterey Peninsula College (MPC, to locals). Fall, Spring and Summer, if it’s Friday, it’s enamels!
Ever wonder? Turns out, as an artist, I have at least an inkling. The underlying point of this blog is to introduce local artists, and if possible, give you an idea where / when to find their work–sometimes the artist(s) too. The focus is primarily on California artists, and particularly those living in the Monterey Bay, and Central Coast areas. Los Angeles and San Francisco are included, because they are the Art Centers of California–in that particular order.
