I have two addictions: chocolate and fabric. Chocolate because it's yummy (a staple food really) and fabric because it has a textural quality of color, design, and feel.

That's why I am so jazzed to be participating in a brand new art show at the Blue Moon Gallery this month that celebrates TEXTURE.  Come and check us out this Saturday, 1/9/10, from 6-9 PM, at 2353 Albatross Way, just off El Camino and Business 80.  Here's a new video of the gallery.

I'll have my six foot tall "Layers of Life", "Faces of a Goddess", "Renewed at 40", and "Energy Flow" texture-filled sculptures in the show.  But you can also pick out some colorful platters, hearts, large tile sculptures, and a water feature and other outdoor art.

Live music, wine, food, and wonderful art. How better to spend a Saturday night?  The show runs through Feb 6^th, Wednesdays through Saturdays, from noon to 5 PM.

A brand new hair salon has opened its doors in Elk Grove and it is full of color: Jacquelyn's Family Salon, 2475 Elk Grove Blvd., Suite 120, 95758.  I took some of my most colorful two-dimensional sculptures there to add to Jackie's personal flair.

Jacquelyn's has professionals who specialize in all types of hair (including black and multicultural hair) as well as all hair styles, as described in this article. 

My sculptures will be there until March, including some really neat sculptures for Valentine's Day.

The Kuumba Collective is a fabulous new gallery at 1001 Del Paso Blvd., comprised of several local African American artists. 

Stop by for a cup of Iris Tea Garden tea and choose from Iris' wide selection of all things tea, including tea, tea pots, and her own pottery designs.  Marshall Dean Bailey offers a large collection of African-inspired beaded mud cloth wall hangings, jewelry, all-purpose cards, and thought-provoking plaques.  Daphne Burgess awes you with her amazing paintings and clay sculptures.  Shakiri's bold paintings and talking sticks are conversation pieces. Dr. Francione's colorful paintings call to Spirit.

I have a few sculptures there now, and I will be the Featured Artist in March.

Many of my hearts and Spirit Dolls are in Sunlight of the Spirit, 2314 J Street, Sacramento, CA, 95816.

Their vision is that those who seek recovery from addiction or desire to grow spiritually will find the resources and support they need to live in the 'sunlight of the spirit'.
