And Now - San Francisco !!
A new story of dreams that come true
I’m very happy to announce the latest news:
I will be having a gallery exhibition in San Francisco!!!
San Francisco / Paris / New York City
The subject of the upcoming exhibit—as well as the title—is:
San Francisco / Paris / New York City
at
Michelle Thomas Fine Art Gallery + Studio
40 29th Street
San Francisco, CA
As I embark on this adventure to create a new collection of paintings on silk, I will be delighted to share with you stories about the making of the artwork. It will be an entirely new collection of paintings—ranging from large to small—as the work progresses. You are already familiar with my style and artistic eye - what will come out of this?
A quote from my proposal:
San Francisco / Paris / NYC -
a body of work, not yet created, of various sized paintings on silk. The paintings of architecture, common spaces, and discovered details would dance and describe the personalities of these three great cities. The collection would not seek to compare the cities, but joyously explore their magic and beauty, welcoming the viewer to respond with joy to these vibrant global metropolises.
I wanted to share the news with you right away, along with the dates and times, so you can put them on your calendar and tell all your West Coast friends!
