"Frida" will be at the Bedford Gallery in Walnut Creek, CA for the months of July-August. She is part of an exhibit that is titled, "The World of Frida". The reception will be on July 8th, from 3-5pm.

Also, "Mama Rose's Ranch" will be showing at the Carnegie in Turlock, CA for the months of May-July. The reception for that exhibit will be May 10th, 5-8pm.

This is my fourth piece that is a part of the series on individuals I am working on. Frida Kahlo was a strong woman who wanted to be heard and spent her life using art to tell about her experiences and who she was.

Maude Lewis is the third portrait in this series. Maude and her art taught me that we continue to be who we are despite the obstacles we face. She modeled that beauty is made through the eyes that are seeing it and that happiness needs to be cultivated with a pure heart.
