The very first show of the year takes me to San Diego, CA. This is our annual Valentine Show at Moni Blom's Studio. For the past 6 years we have had this fun little gathering & art sale in her home/studio in the North Park area of San Diego, CA. It is in one of those charming little neighborhoods with little spanish & one of a kind bungalows. Moni is a very talented ceramic sculptor. She can do ANYTHING in clay, ANYTHING!! Her specialty are these wonderful full figured nude women with wild hair riding some sort of object or sitting on a chair or in a tub. Their hands are so delicate & elegant and full of expression. Here is an example of one. Moni also makes amazing Masks, every size & shape & subject matter.

The other woman is Sue Bakley, who makes these exquisite little fabric purses with gorgeous fabrics & unusual beads. Sue's purses are very architectural in the way she combines the fabric patterns & color choices, as well as elegant!! Sue herself has a lovely elegance & it shows in her work. I especially like this elephant one below.

HEARTS & FLOWERS XXIII - The Valentine Exhibition at

The FOLK TREE in Pasadena.

Show dates: January 23-February 20

EXHIBITION RECEPTION & VALENTINE PARTY:

Saturday, January 23, 2 - 6 P.M.

I don't put my work in many galleries & the only one I am selling at in the Los Angeles area is the FOLK TREE in Pasadena. This place is a feast for the eyes & there is so much to see it is hard to get past the front door. The walls are filled with art mainly from Mexico, but beautiful carvings & Day of the Dead art. They feature work from the famous Aguilar Family. The owner Rocky Behr, has been traveling to Mexico for years buying art, visiting artisans & she even takes groups for tours. She has great vision & insight for acquiring wonderful folk art. So come to the Valentine Party or make sure you visit this gallery if you find yourself in Old Pasadena. Also, next door is Central Park a delicious restaurant both not to be missed!!!
