East Bay Open Studios

I just signed up to participate in the 2013 East Bay Open Studios.

For two weekends in June (June 1 - 2 and 8 - 9) local artists open their studios to the public. The program is part of Pro Arts, an Oakland based contemporary arts organization that connects audiences with contemporary art and vice versa.

I realize this event is 6 months away, but when the time comes, you can find the schedule of events here, and the map of open studios here.

Stop by my studio during  Pro Arts East Bay Open Studios -  June 1-2 and June 8-9, 2013

Work in Progress

A few pieces I'm working on plus a peak at the new studio space.

About North Beach

The Poetry Room @ City Lights Bookstore

When the shadow of the grasshopper
falls across the trail of the field mouse
on green and slimey grass as a red sun rises
above the western horizon silhouetting
a gaunt and tautly muscled Indian warrior
perched with bow and arrow cocked and aimed
straight at you it's time for another martini.
