                                                            AV ART GALLERY: What would an exhibition look like completely divorced from curatorial subjectivity? What kind of discourse can rise from a group of artworks that is brought together, not by one person's interests and preferences, but by chance, play, and perhaps a little divine intervention? As a way of thinking outside of a traditional relationship of dependency – artist on curator, curator’s discourse upon artwork – proposed is a series of exhibitions that are brought together through an application of completely arbitrary systems. This experiment hopes to ignite a different way of exhibiting, viewing, writing and thinking about contemporary art.

The first in this series of exhibitions is Written in the Stars, and will be configured based on the astrological charts of each artist who responds to this call. The collection of birth dates will be given to an astrologer who will select the participants based on each birth charts alignment with the opening date of the exhibition (October 20, 2014-November 14, 2014). Taking place at Antelope Valley College Art Gallery in Lancaster, CA, the show will be in the epicenter of a desert landscape in which metaphysical energies and practices are said to flourish. If chosen, each artist can contribute any piece of art they wish to show; the work does not have to speak to the astrology theme in any way. I was selected to take part in this show and am so excited to hear that art is written in the stars for me.

LATINO ART MUSEUM: The plight of the migrant worker is both a blessing and a curse. It is a relief for many fleeing from an oppressive life to a life with a multitude of opportunities for their children but for some it is nothing but another border crossing, upon border crossing. They will never be accepted, They will always be the enslaved migrant worker seeking a better life and greener fields behind a fence, a gate, a border crossing for their family.

B*tch Fest If you’re awake and breathing, you know there’s a war waging against our gender. Has been for 10,000 years or longer. From the atrocities of various (and perpetual) war zones, to the workplace, courtrooms, behind closed doors, and even congress, women aren’t treated with or given the dignity and equanimity they deserve. B*tch Fest provides a platform for those artists courageous enough to confront these issues of social justice. Exhibit Location: 5683 York Blvd, Los Angeles CA, 90042. Opening Reception: Saturday, July 12, 2014, 6 - 10 pm. Additional programming and second exhibit location to be announced. My painting discusses the role of the midwestern farmers wife during a time of GMO's, Monsanto and the Keystone Pipeline.

ANIMALIA: Jun 14 at 8:00pm to Jun 15 at 2:00amAn Art Exhibit Inspired By Spirit/ Power Animals And Guardian Spirits/ LPArtwalk Summer SOULstice Arts & Music Festival/ Cakeshop Oddities. The spider is a remarkable figure of feminine energy and creativity in the spirit animal kingdom. Spiders are characterized by the skilled weaving of intricate webs and patience in awaiting their prey. By affinity with the spider spirit animal, you may have qualities of high receptivity and creativity. Having the spider as a power animal or totem helps you tune into life’s ebbs and flows and ingeniously weave every step of your destiny. Before I moved here from the West coast I saw a palm reader in Salem who told me that I would learn the art of patience (I was impatient to the point of meltdowns at the time). I am still learning the art of patience but have come a very long way. This is one of the many reasons the Spider came up as my spirit animal, as well as the receptivity, intuition, energy and creativity. It is a good fit for me but I just wanted you to know that there is a distinct connection, I did not pull a random animal out of a hat!

Spirituality Within the Ojai Valley
In conjunction with the Mike Saijo's exhibition at the Porch Gallery , local artists submitted works based on their personal experiences with spirituality within the Ojai Valley. Show runs from Jun 15, 2014 thru Jun 29, 2014. Soft Machine Project is an outgrowth of the ideas inspired by the "cut-up fold in" method that William S. Burroughs devised in his sci-fi novel, Soft Machine. Saijo developed Soft Machine Project as an idea of 'program art,' hoping to influence artists to become aware of patterns in nature that serve as models for looking at, and organizing, a world view in a multi-faceted structure.http://www.porchgalleryojai.com/index.php

MOAH Poppy Exhibit 2014

"Poppy Parade" Acrylic on canvas in vintage frame will be exhibited May 10 - June 8, 2014. It shows the various characters that attend a parade in their colorful, emotive forms. They stand on a blanket of happiness tossing blissful poppies in the air, coating themselves in a moment of possitivity that layers over the fire and hellish underworld that bubbles beneath. We all need some good times to blanket the bad times. Even big mouth guy has his happy colors on today!

The library is the best of the Air Force Materiel Command, is visited by 10,000 people a week and is open for military personal and civilians working at the base.
