IT'S AUTUMN

Here we are! I hope this finds you well and feeling creative as a new Fall season cycle is now upon us. Personally, I've felt the pick up this year as more things open up again and life is resuming a new normal familiarity. I've had a busy last few months in the studio with teaching, Summer camps, and finding a new rhythm in my work. I'm pleased to share that more printmaking workshops are happening again this Fall which may interest you. 

My affordable classes encourage all artists at any stage in their career or creativity. You may be a beginner who is new to the world of print, or an intermediate artist who may want to try a new technique in a beautiful and inviting studio setting. Regardless, I welcome you! 

Workshops are listed below with links to register if they are currently booking. Spots are limited and any material fees will be listed at the time of registration. Sliding scale options are available for all of my classes taught at the Sonoma Community Center. What a wonderful thing! 

I also have two new very colorful pieces of work on view in group shows this Fall. I hope you can check them out if you are passing through. I feel so fortunate to be exhibiting with my mentor, Toru and some of my favorite artists in the Bay Area. I look forward to sharing more with you soon... Until then xx
