Keeping It Simple

I am excited to announce that I have work in an upcoming exhibit at Bedford Gallery in Walnut Creek. Land of Magic: Artists Explore Make-Believe has a great line-up of artists and I am honored to be showing with them all.

April 10 – June 12, 2011

The Bedford Gallery takes audiences on a captivating visual adventure with Land of Magic, a dynamic exhibition that profiles 13 artists working in a wide variety of genres and media. From painting and printmaking to photography and video, their fantasy-scapes feature astronauts, flying saucers, furry pets, basketball hoops and gangs of children, gathered from conscious and unconscious memories of childhood or visions of the future. Themes of escape, desire and reverie are portrayed with personal and eccentric charm by Timothy Berry, Dean Byington, Lauren Cohen, Julie Heffernan, David Huffman, Kerri Lee Johnson, Hiraki Sawa, Rosemary Scanlon, Jenny Schmid, Weston Teruya, Cathy Richardson, Barry Underwood and Esther Pearl Watson.

Bedford Gallery 1601 Civic Dr., Walnut Creek, CA 94596 \\ 925.295.1417

Hours: Tuesday- Sunday 12-5pm
