Getting Prints Ready

Getting ready for CAST Sacramento Open Studios! Laying out prints to frame and I'm half way through. It's taking longer than than I thought but I really like how the framed images look! Seeing how they are relating to each other is a lot of fun.

Open Studios

In two weeks I’m opening my art studio so come by and say hello if you can. It would be great to see you.

I’m opening it up through the CAST Sacramento Open Studios event. There are 38 other studios open that weekend so there will be art all over. Here are the details...

Sat. 9/20/14 and Sun. 9/21/14
10am – 5pm
Studio #207
Free – open to the public
Map and Guide


Donna Napper, Curator of the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art selected me for inclusion in her Curator's Picks for Open Studios – I am so excited (and honored) to be on her list!

I'm really excited because I'll get to share a new project with you called Processing the Drugstore - where I made photograms completely inside a drugstore, from start to finish.

And, there will be a few other photogram goodies including the some made using foxfire, a bioluminescent fungus that I grow.  

Oh, and please come to the opening reception for the Open Studios Exhibition on Thursday 9/11, 6-9pm at Verge Center for the Arts. It’s free and I have a piece hanging in the show! The opening will coincide with the opening of 343 Dresses: the Chromatic Convergence Project by Mary Younnakof which is a super project, too.

Cheers,
Kate
P.S. Look for the red yard signs during Open Studios!

Critic's Pick

Just found out that I was selected as part of Donna Napper's Curator Picks for the CAST 2014 Sacramento Open Studios! Yay! Donna is the Curator for the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art so it is an honor to be a part of her artist selections. The printed Open Studios Guide with the Curator's Picks write-up will be out in early August.

Thank you to everyone who came to my studio to say hello during last week's Capital Artists' Studio Tour! It was great catching up with old friends and making new ones, and of course chatting about art all weekend. Here are a few visuals from the studio last weekend....
