Aunt Caroline & Bonnie Jo
This textile artwork which is #7 in my new Family Series was recently exhibited at the
Redwood Shores Library, Redwood City, California. Two other works from the series were also
exhibited and were well received!
My Aunt Caroline taught U.S. History her entire career at Ben Davis High School,
my husband and both of my parents graduated from this same high school.
I soon will be sending out letters to take this series installation to libraries and other appropriate locations to exhibit. If you have a location in mind please contact me. bjs8934@gmail.com

Hard Art is Sometimes Soft @ The Frank
Yesterday I stopped by to see new member of Peninsula Women's Caucus for Art Tara de la Garza's curated exhibit "Hard Art is Sometimes Soft" at The Frank Gallery in Redwood City. Again we have another member who has stepped outside the box and curated a must see!
The exhibit was quite interesting and I found the larger pieces with the mirrors attached intriguing asking the question "what do we see or need to see in life". I do think my favorite was the ball of fabric that was used as a measurement to calculate the artist daughters movements. Personally, for me my works always have a strong personal tie and I liked very much the connection between mother and child.
The soft pink sculpture was also a favorite. This sculpture seemed to parallel with my personal life right now. If the oxygen is cut off life ends but with so little oxygen being pushed into the object it was full and dynamic, the soft pink color kept it from being overwhelming and gave a quiet glow that was soothing.
Thank you for curating such a interesting and out of the box exhibit Tara.
Please members stop by and take a look at this exhibit! If you contact Tara before hand she can meet you at this wonderful space, 2225 Broadway, Redwood City. Tara is also teaching a class this Saturday at The Frank click on the links for details or contact Tara.

Frida Kahlo
This is one of three 4 x 6 textile cards I created for the International Women's Caucus for Art fund raiser. The work will be displayed at the United Nations this fall along with many others that have been created to financially underwrite expenses for our traveling exhibits. I believe the cards will be sold after they have traveled through 2016 for 25.00.

"Boundaries"
This is the Peninsula WCA last exhibit of the season. My exhibiting artwork is "Caution". The work is a recreation of the caution signs that were for many years on California Highways the 5 and 405. My concern when I first saw the sign was that it was confusing to immigrants coming in from the Pacific Ocean. Who's boundary was it or was it as
many immigrants saw a safe place to cross. Many lives were lost due to these signs.
The exhibit location is Coastal Art League, HMB August 21, 2015 - September 20, 2015
hours are Wednesday through Sunday 12-5. Opening reception August 22, 2015 5-7.
