Moments Filled With Meaning
Omars Dahlias
Omar's Dahlias
This past Saturday night, I had one of those special moments in life,
the kind you remember for years to come. I was so honored to receive an
award for Omar's Dahlias at the Pastel Society of the West Coast's 33rd
Annual Pastels USA exhibition. This annual show is always filled with
excellent talent, so to win an award from judge Dawn Emerson means a
lot. If you'd like to see this year's exhibit, it will be on view
through July 14 at the Haggin Museum in
Stockton, California.

While we're on the subject of exhibitions, I'm also participating in a
show called "Bay Area Parks: Outdoor Treasures," sponsored by the
California Art Club
and featuring works by about 50 artists. I love the theme of this show
and completely agree that our parks truly are gems! You can celebrate
the bay area parks by coming out to the show between June 14 and July
20 at the Harrington Gallery
in Pleasanton, California. Don't miss the opening reception on June 15
from 1 to 3 p.m. More details about both shows can be found on my
website .
A Seminal Year!
Lately, I've been thinking about the all-important, watershed moments
of our lives--the times that shape a person's future. That's what
inspired my latest blog post
about my year abroad
in Barcelona, Spain. I went when I was just 17, and it completely
changed my life, opening my eyes to a whole new world I'd never even
imagined. That year helped mold me into the artist I am today. Please
give it a read when you have a chance. I'd love for you to comment,
too, about the seminal moments of your life.
