Demand In DC at the Black Cat on Inauguration Day!

I am SO EXCITED to be selected to display some of my photos at DEMAND IN DC at the The Black Cat on inauguration day (January 20th)! I’m not only thrilled to be participating in something great on such an historic day, but also super excited to be getting involved in the DC art scene so quickly. These are some of the photos that will be on display.

As stated in the press release: “"DEMAND IN DC" is a celebration of people's desire, will, and actions evoking change in our lives and the direction of the world. As the rest of the country recognizes the inauguration of America's new President... Artists, Photographers, Filmmakers, and Musicians converge on our Nation's capitol to recognize and empower the REAL agents of change: the People.”

Bands performing at this event include Anti-Flag, United Nations, The AKAs, and Ruiner.

Tickets are $10, on sale now, and available HERE.

The artwork above is part of "Hollywood, DC: Lights! Camera! Election!" exhibit on display through election day at WORLD OF WONDER Storefront Gallery located at 6650 Hollywood Blvd (at Cherokee), Hollywood.

The exhibit features the political artwork of more than 40 artists. Most of the pieces make you laugh out loud. All of the work is great. The ones above were favorites of mine. I'll be spending election night at this gallery watching the results and hoping for the best! This party is open to anyone wearing an I VOTED sticker. The party will be going until the vodka runs out or the results are in.

East of Eden Multi Gallery Exhibition

I attended East of Eden, a 3 day, multi-gallery exhibition featuring emerging and established artists of the Los Angeles East contemporary art scene. The artwork was amazing. I have some favorites:

The following 5 images are from the PALM SERIES by Elizabeth Saveri, whose artwork is currently on display at the Acuna Hansen Gallery. I absolutely love this series and totally relate to them as real images of Los Angeles. These are things we see every day, but most people don't turn it into beautiful works of art. I wish I had the money to buy this series.






The next image is a painting by Shizu Saldamando, whose work is currently on display at the Guey Smart gallery. You can view more of her beautiful creations at http://www.ShizuSaldamando.com. Her subjects are real people in real environments. I absolutely love her work.


When I first saw the paintings below I thought they were tiny little photographs. They are simply breathtaking, and the one below was my favorite. Unfortunately I can't find which gallery Nolina Burge is associated with, but was able to find some information on her at www.ArtNet.com.


Ana Serrano's work also stood out to me. The piece below was about 3' tall 2' wide. It definitely captures the feeling I have of LA living. Ana's work is also featured in the Guey Smart gallery. Unfortunately I am unable to find a website for her to link here.
