Blue Dot Cafe, 6/2025

Update 6/17/25 - because there was more space on my wall, my daughter decided to help me fill out the space with her art. Now, my wall looks complete. 

The Alameda art group Art Jam is exhibiting at the Blue Dot Cafe and Coffee Bar, 1910 Encinal Avenue, Alameda, California. I have a few works in the show and may be adding more later this month. Please stop in if you're in the area.

Sketches: Jeffrey Gibson at the Broad, 6/2025

About two blocks from the Los Angeles I.C.E. protests, the Broad Museum is exhibiting Jeffrey Gibson's show "The space in which to place me." Jeffrey Gibson is a Native American/Black artist who creates works that celebrates individuals and communities who have maintained their dignity and traditions in impossible circumstances, centering on the resilience of indigenous makers. 

"I'm gonna run with every minute I can borrow" Gibson, Broad Museum, 6/2025

The work "I'm gonna run with every minute I can borrow" inspired me, reminding me of the resistance of the immigrants two blocks away who are just trying to live their lives in impossible circumstances.

Postcards from Tahiti, 2024: "Lunch with Family", 6/2025

In celebration of Auntie Angele's birthday, I painted this beautiful image of her preparing lunch for her family with cousin Catherine tasting the samples. Auntie is an elegant, graceful woman who is a very active 80 years young.

Sketches: Ooh Aah Point, Grand Canyon AZ, 5/2025

My friend's coworker recommended the South Kaibab Trail after he learned that we were planning a road trip to the Grand Canyon last month. The Trail leads down into the Canyon close to the Colorado River, 4000 feet down. Being novices to this hike, we decided to hike down, but only to Ooh Aah Point, the first stop 790 down from the rim. It was well worth the effort.

Next time, we'll try to hike all the way to the Canyon...
