Special thanks to Matt McKinley of McKinley Art Solutions in San Francisco for curating the show and for his amazing generosity and support.

Come on out to a groovy group show at 63 Bluxome Street Gallery, San Francisco, Friday night, Dec. 11, 7-11pm. All work in the show priced according to the dictates of recession chic, $200 and under. Good artists, good art (I saw it today), good people. I have three very sweet teen-iny pieces from days of yore at a criminally low discount, one night only. 63 Bluxome Street Gallery is located south of Market...you guess the address. See you there.

Artists on board include:

This is kind of a last minute posting, but I wanted to let you all know that my painting, "Time and Distance (with Orange Mountains)" will be up for bidding at Root Division's 8th Annual Art Auction, this Thursday night. The painting, regularly valued at $960, will have a reserve price of a mere $40! Chances are, you can bring it home for a steal. All proceeds benefit Root Division and its arts and education programs.

About Root Division:

"Root Division's mission is to improve appreciation and access to the visual arts by connecting personal inspiration and community participation. We provide subsidized studio space to working artists in exchange for their service in creating shared learning opportunities for the community. Artists develop creatively and professionally by teaching art to underserved youth, leading adult education classes, and producing exhibitions that showcase local emerging artwork. By combining multiple opportunities for creative exchange, Root Division cultivates an artistic ecosystem that enriches life throughout the Bay Area."

In the meantime, there are shows underway featuring my most recent series (including a four-person show at Eclectix Gallery in Berkeley in March, 2010), and some groovy other happenings this winter, including the release of a book by UK author Laura Curran featuring inspiring, artsy-fartsy women (including yours truly), the pending release of a line of shmingy-skins (skins for ipods, blackberries, and other star trek equipment), and the release of a Roxy snowboard for women and girls, based on my painting, Crossing of the Sun.

So yeah, lots of fun stuff in the works. Stick around.

Check out this beautiful online magazine: http://adistinctivestyle.com/, which has featured my work in their March, 2009 edition. The feature is on pages 34-35, which you can scroll to directly, or go to the second page, where there's an all-visual table of contents; click on the image of my painting on the wall, left of the gal with the zoolander pose...

I will post the feature under my interviews and press archive soon for posterity...

While you're there, do yourself a favor and take some time to peruse; there is so much beauty, so much inspiration in the magazine...I was actually moved to tears.

Many thanks to A Distinctive Style's publisher, Denise Marie for her kindness, support and enthusiasm for my work.

Big love to all,

Erica
