Chubasco: Water, Water Everywhere!

The Chubasco! exhibit will open at Raices Taller 222 Art Gallery and Workshop on Saturday, July 25. This annual show celebrates the monsoon season in Tucson. My photograph-- Watercourse Way-- will be among those on exhibit. I took this picture on the beach in Playa Blanca, Colombia.

The artists' reception is 7-10 p.m. at Raices, 218 E. 6th Street on July 25. Many of the artists will be in attendance-- moi aussi. Who knows? Maybe it will rain for the occasion! Come on down and check out a gallery-full of art on the theme of water, rain, and monsoons. Food and drinks will be available by donation. Support the arts in Tucson!

Chubasco! will run from July 25 - September 12, 2009.

Mujeres Exhibit Opens at Raices

The Fifth Annual Mujeres, Mujeres, Mujeres exhibit will open at Raices Taller 222 Art Gallery and Workshop tomorrow, May 2. This is always a great show with many eclectic works by women artists. I have been attending this exhibit for years, but this is the first time my artwork has been included.

Nude Blinds will be at Raices from May 2 through June 13. The opening is Saturday evening from 7-9 p.m. The work of more than 40 Southern Arizona women artists will be included in the show. Come down and see what the gurlz have to offer.

Saturday is also the First Saturday Central Tucson Gallery Association Art Walk. In addition to Raices, my work also will be showing at the Central Arts Gallery, where The Same Story exhibit continues through June. Follow the CTGA link here for a list of member galleries. Most-- in not all-- will be open Saturday night for the art walk.

Wandering Through Dreams: on Congress Street

Spirit's Journey, the latest exhibit at the Central Arts Gallery, will open this coming Saturday, February 7, 2009, with an artists' reception from 6-9 p.m.

Two of my pieces will be included in this show: Wandering Through Dreams (pictured here) and La Mano Mas Poderosa mosaic shrine. I'm proud to say that both of them are on display in the windows of the gallery. I'm also exhibiting jewelry and smaller clay pieces at the gallery for this show, which runs through March 28.

The Central Arts Gallery opening is just one of many scheduled for this Saturday downtown. Many galleries along Congress Street and 6th Street will be open this weekend as part of the Art Safari, organized by the Central Tucson Gallery Association. So, if you missed seeing Bound for Love at the opening of the Amores Perros erotic art show two weeks ago, you can catch it on Saturday at Raices Gallery.

Come downtown and support the arts in Tucson! Here is a list of participating galleries from the Tucson Citizen and a very thorough write-up in the Tucson Weekly.

Amores Perros: Bound for Love

Bound for Love, a new photograph of mine, will be included in the Amores Perros exhibit at Raices Taller on 6th Street.

This show is being billed as an introspective on human sensuality; Bound for Love fits well with this theme because it is a provocative glimpse at submission.

Amores Perros begins this Saturday, January 24, with an artists' reception from 6-10pm and continues through March 7, with a grand re-opening on February 14, Valentine's Day.
