ARTIST RECEPTION ON APRIL 15 FROM 2-4 PM
Daycamp Coffee is open frpm 7-4 daily
This latest body of work has been an exploration in color and texture and a challenge to let go of the outcomes in my art. As a new mother I've found I have very little control over how my time is spent day-to-day. Anyone with a new baby knows that they are demanding and delightful little creatures, and some days are full of naps while others... not so much. Lately I've been swiping paint at my canvases between nursing, changing diapers, laundry, and lots of baby snuggles. I don't have the bandwidth to put much executive thought into my work, so the resulting paintings are very intuitive and based on snap decisions on what each one needs to feel finished. It's been a playful and therapeutic experience for me and I am enjoying these first forays into abstraction from more traditional landscape painting as I also step into motherhood.

Zinetentions
Maybe your summer is off to an amazing start and you want to keep the good vibes going. Maybe, like mine, your summer has gotten off on the wrong foot! 😂 Either way, take a break and craft with me while we set some intentions to carry us through to the Autumn Equinox!
In this workshop, I'll guide you through how to make and fold a mini zine and, using my original template, we'll talk about our intentions and goals for the summer season and put it into writing in a beautiful little zine to keep close by as a reminder 💛

"The Unexhibited" Unofficial Artist Reception
I'm having an unofficial artist reception at @bstreetchico next Friday to celebrate "The Unexhibited" - a selection of work that has never seen the light of day in exhibit-form! (Full honesty, there are like, two piece that have been up on exhibit walls before but they were shut away so long with COVID that they deserved some airing out too).
The "reception" will be very chill - aka I will be there with my husband @jamisonbarsotti and we will be eating delicious food and drinking delicious drinks (non-alcoholic for me & baby Lemon, obvs) and sitting around waiting for you to come find us and say hi! PLEASE DO SO!
