Opening Next Week: "from dreams i had of flowers" at 29 Palms Art Gallery
and "Emergence" at group show at Compound YV Gallery in Yucca Valley
Greetings, dear ones! I can’t believe it’s almost September. I’m delighted to announce that my solo show, “from dreams i had of flowers” will be opening next Thursday 8/31 at the 29 Palms Art Gallery in 29 Palms, California.
I will be debuting a new body of abstract figurative work: 23 new oil and mixed media paintings inspired by the desert, her flowers, and my relationship to them. I am delighted that the opening coincides with the blue supermoon, a full moon, which traditional represents an intention coming to fruition. More on this in a few days.
The gallery will be hosting an Artist Reception on Saturday, September 2nd from 4-6p. I hope you will join me for it!
A preview of the collection will be shared with my Collectors List this coming Monday, August 28 at 8a PT. The collection will be sent to this newsletter letter list on Thursday, August 31 at 8a PT in advance of the show opening that night. Paintings will be available via both previews and in-person via the gallery.
A Busy September in the Desert!
I am thrilled to also share that I will be debuting new abstract work at Compound YV one week later on September 9th, as part of “Emergence: Mojave Artists of Color Collective.” The show is curated by Elena Yu (MACC) and Caroline Partamian (Compound YV) and features work from established and emerging artists of color practicing in the high desert.
The opening reception is Saturday, September 9th from 6-10p and we will be hosting an Artists’ Panel on Saturday, September 23rd from 2-4p. If you’re in the area, I hope you will join us for both as well as the other programming surrounding the show!
C. YV is the gallery I’ve most wanted to show at since moving to Joshua Tree. I am deeply grateful to be included and will share more about the new work and the curatorial statement the week the show opens.
I hope you are having a nourishing last week of summer. So much more to share soon. In the meantime, be well! xo
