Opening Up to Open Studios

A “gaggle” of artists participating in S.F. Open Studios at Upside Artspace in the SF Mission District. It was fun!

Wrapped up my first Open Studios this past weekend. I met a range of art fans, including buyers, and even folks who weren’t sure how they found us. Thanks to the team at Upside Artspace along with the participating artists (pictured above) plus the S.F. Artspan crew who organize the 50-year-old, city-wide event.

Rather than focus on my latest work, a series of urban portraits called Of the Mission, I exhibited images going back to when I began this adventure in 2015. Although the work represented a mix of styles, it’s all foundational to my work today.
