Group Show @ Bucheon Contemporary!

This upcoming Friday two of my large pigeon drawings will be featured in a group show at Bucheon Contemporary Gallery! It's the first show my new pigeon works have been exhibited, and I'm excited to be showing them with Bucheon (one of my favorite San Francisco galleries). If you happen to be in the city, stop by and say hi!

Anniversary Party / Reception at Studio Gallery

This Saturday is the 4th Anniversary Party at Studio Gallery. This is the last show for the year that my work will be in (poo). Here's the specs: Saturday, December 8th 4:00 - 8:00 pm 1718A Polk st. (between Clay and Washington) I'll be back on Sunday with pics from the show! :D See ya there!

The AAU Auction and "Tiny" at Studio Gallery

Just a quick note of a couple of things coming up. This Saturday (the 17th) is the Academy of Art University's "12th Annual Faculty Alumni Fine Art Auction". Here's the specs: Saturday November 17th, 3:00pm : Reception 4:00pm : Live auction starts 79 New Montgomery (inside the main gallery) There is sooo much artwork there. I was amazed, I don't know how they're going to make room for tables and chairs. :P I have a number of pieces available in the auction though (including the above image). "Bottled" is also available, and two still life oil studies. The official "Tiny" reception has come and gone, and I was terrible about blogging it. I put up postcards at work (surprisingly, some of my coworkers were also participants in the show), but otherwise I really dropped the ball. I did go by Studio yesterday, however, and Jennifer has all of the Pop Tops, plus my wedding ring drawing, on display. This is the LAST time anyone will able to see the Pop Tops all together as a set, so I really encourage you to stop by and take a look. Also, Studio will be hosting an anniversary party in December; it'll be a second chance to check out the remainder of "Tiny". Hope to see you guys there! Saturday, December 8th 4-8:00pm 1718A Polk Street (between Clay and Washington)

Sanchez pics (2007 Bay Area Annual)

Just dropping off a couple of photos from the Sanchez reception tonight. It was a really good crowd, but if you stopped by at about 8:20 you would have no idea. Everyone cleared out quickly by 8:30. I'm sure that they had some other Friday night plans. :) Anywho, we always take a standard "this is Meg with her drawings" photos.. this one makes me a look a little psychotic though. I was in the middle of a joke when Albert shot it. He then refused to retake it, so I guess we're all stuck with this one. I also need to buy more shirts that AREN'T black! And a pic of the crowd! :) Sorry, no pics of the food.. it was pretty much wiped out by the time we got there! I think the neatest thing about this show was that a handful of the artists I showed with last month in Berkeley were back again in this show. So I got to see some new stuff from them too. I'm also starting to see a little bit of a pattern in the pieces that are walking away with awards. Once things settle down where I can get back to work again, I want to look more critically of my own work and see if there's any changes I can make (or want to make).

2007 Bay Area Annual

Sorry again for the lack of posts.. I've been busy with wedding preparations (wedding is this Wed!!) and I ended up getting a new job at one of the art museums here in SF (which I am super excited about also!). :) Anywho, the notice is a little late, but tomorrow (Friday) is actually the opening reception for the Bay Area Annual at the Sanchez Art Center in Pacifica. The show begins at 7 pm, and ends at 9pm. I plan to pop by around 8 to take some photos and see everything. Hopefully, it will be nice. I wasn't very impressed with the space when I dropped off my work, but I mainly entered this one for the juror anyway (Rene de Guzman curates the Oakland Art Museum). Two of my more recent pencil works ("Glare" and "Closure") are showing for the first time also. :) I'll see ya there!

Marin Museum of Contemporary Art (Marin MOCA)

The show for the Art League of Northern California has come and gone, and I'm happy to announce that "Warmth" received an Honorable Mention! This is my first award outside of school, and I'm super excited. :) I'm going to go get this framed at some point.. just for kicks. I'm also very happy to announce that "Warmth" sold, and, actually, the lady who purchased it sent me a wonderful postcard in the mail telling me that she is enjoying the piece, and requested to be notified of further shows. :D It's very flattering when someone likes your work enough to buy it, and I quickly sent her a hand-written thank you note.

80th post!

Yay, 80 posts! :D I have a couple of exciting announcements also, so it's perfect timing. First off, some of my work has been accepted by Studio Gallery. So I will have a number of pieces up for purchase (including this small 2x3" pencil piece, and my Pop Top bottle caps) this November in Studio Gallery's annual "Tiny" show (I'll post the official postcard when I get them sometime in October). :) The show is renowned for having tons of super-affordable pieces too, so if you're an art collector (or are considering becoming one), that's one show you don't want to miss. Link to Studio Gallery And finally, there was a small press release today in the 96 hours segment of the San Francisco Chronicle that I'd like to share, it's for the "Works on Paper" show at Berkeley Art Center. So if you haven't seen the show yet, you have two days left to check it out!

Art show, and some new work...

Yesterday afternoon was the reception at the Berkeley Art Center. It was awesome! I got some good feedback on my work, lots of people turned out, and there was so much great art to check out. I wish I had taken more photos.. it always seems like I take a bunch, and then very few of them are worth posting. :P Oh well, next time! Also, here's a new piece I just recently finished.

Just a reminder.

Few announcements, updates..

Lots of things happening this month. I've been accepted into two competitions (Berkeley Art Center and Art League of Northern California), and during the last week in August, through Sept, my work will be hanging in both of those gallery spaces along with the other acceptees. :) So if you're around Berkeley or Novato, go check it out! Also, I finished the car piece. Just have to title it. :) Annddd.. I'm sure a number of you guys have been to Albert's blog recently. I've been bad about announcements, I'm kinda lazy about it, and I don't usually like to make a fuss.. We've been engaged since April though, and we're getting married this October. :D We just bought the wedding bands, and we're debating where we want to go for a honeymoon. Suggestions for this are much appreciated, as we have no idea where we want to go!

First Thursday, the show opening!

So this show was actually much bigger and louder than the previous one. We had a dj and a mass crowd of people that made it exceptionally difficult to move around the gallery. It was so much fun! (a special thanks to everyone who came! It was really wonderful seeing you, and hearing your opinions about my work!). Unfortunately, I didn't snag as many photos as I had thought, but here's what I did get. :)

Upcoming show: Reminder

Just a quick reminder that the Paint Soup reception is *this* Thurs from 6-9pm! :) Hope to see you guys there!

"Paint Soup", upcoming show!

Yet another upcoming show! Same place as before, in downtown San Francisco. :) Hope to see you guys there!

Upcoming show!

This month the Pop Top series is on display once again at 688 Sutter street! If you missed seeing the series before, here's your second chance! :)
