Hot-Off-The-Walls: Art to Go! - PVA Gallery Watsonville

I’m honored to be part of this curated vibrant group show at Pajaro Valley Arts, where artwork doesn’t stay on the walls for long… collectors are invited to take pieces home as they fall in love with them!

I have a collection of nature photography on canvas in the show: smaller intimate works exploring light, texture, and seasonal change. Each piece is offered at an accessible price, created to find its way into a home where it can be lived with and loved...bringing nature's peace and sanctuary to you or as a gift to a loved one.

Featured works include:
“Under the Veil,” “Forest Lanterns,” “Spine & Bloom,” “Quiet Geometry,” “Stillness Between Petals,” “Open Heart” (11x14) and smaller autumn studies including “Cathedral of Turning,” “Becoming Fire,” and “Autumn Psalms” (8x12),
along with a larger coastal landscape, “Hills of Gold” (16x20).

Show opens Tuesday, March 17. CLICK here for details. pvarts.org/hot-off-the-walls
