Three works from my Have a Seat series are included in this uplifting show.

“What will be, will be” might be a phrase that parent’s use to calm a restless child, that friends use in confronting uncertainty, an utterance from a Buddhist teacher as a balm to a questing mind, a surrender to an unfolding future …. or the name of Madrone Arts upcoming fine arts exhibit beginning on January 17th. 2026!!

In celebration of our endurance and belief in the power of art as a healing and transformative medium, we collectively chose the title of this show – and we think you’ll be delighted to view the diversity of our art and our community.

Gallery hours :
Saturday & Sunday 11 - 5PM, and by appointment.

Feb 20 - Mar 22: Sanchez Art Center, Pacifica, CA

So pleased to be invited to this show! I have three pieces from my Desiderata series in this thoughtful curation.

In the East Gallery, the work of eleven local artists are presented as a play on the spirit of the Nick Lowe song, familiarized by Elvis Costello, in an invitational exhibition titled: What's So Funny About Peace, Love and Understanding. Sanchez Art Center Executive Director Cindy Abbott has expressed her appreciation to the artists who responded to her request to share art as an antidote to the pain, misery and anxiousness being felt throughout our country and abroad. The show offers light and harmony with a focus on peace and finding the helpers who fill our communities with love.

Community Event and Conversation with the artists on Saturday, March 14, beginning at 3:30 pm.

Mar. 1 - Apr. 30: Touch, 731 Designs, Pacifica

Curated by Olga Munoz, "Touch" examines our separation from this crucial human sense.  As we let visual stimulation take over human interactions, what does it mean to lose touch?  Apiece from my BorderDweller series is included in this thoughtful exhibit.

Artist Reception: Sat. March 14, 1 - 3p

April 3 - May 22 : Art Works Downtown, San Rafael, CA

This exhibition explores abstraction as a mode of visual thinking. From non-representational form to works that depart from observed reality, abstraction has long served as a site of experimentation, resistance, and reinvention. “narrative interrupted”, from my storied series will be part of this group show.

Receptions: April 10 and May 8 for the San Rafael First Fridays Art Walk.

A note from the Gallery:
Street Parking may be a challenge. They recommend parking in the two garages on C Street (one block away from AWD). Fourth Street and side street parking is metered until 6pm. Parking is free in the garages on Saturdays and free everywhere on Sundays.
