RSVP to the Facebook Event
This performative art installation, part of the 100 days action, focuses on the wishes, hopes, dreams and aspirations of immigrants and Americans of the past and present uniting and amplifying them in a secular prayer action. Each person is represented by a small painting of a seed. As each seed is pinned to the gallery wall, the personal intention of the person represented is spoken out loud.
Include your wish or dream for the future!
Answer the three anonymous questions here about your hope or dream for the future and please share them around. You can help make this project stronger by including your voice and those of your friends.

Children’s Fairyland in Oakland presents the 4th Annual Drawn Together, an adults-only evening (21 and over) of live art-making, fixed-price art sale, music, food, and fun at Children’s Fairyland. More than 50 exciting artists from Oakland and the Bay Area, including myself, will create over 100 pieces of original Fairyland-inspired art that will be sold for $40 per piece; proceeds will help Fairyland keep admissions low for all and free for those most in need, as well as funding park restoration. Complimentary beer and wine included with ticket price; food available for purchase. The Hanged Man will be on hand to look into your future with a tarot or palm reading, and Very Fairy to add glittery extensions to your hair.

Unfolding of a Painting Series: Part 32
A time lapse video of me painting iridescent white arcs on my latest painting. This is a very soothing and meditative activity. The actual process is much slower than you see here. This has been speeded up several times for your viewing pleasure

Unfolding of a Painting Series: Part 26
I share a new approach I have to this painting series that I quite like. I enjoy painting these repeated marks. It’s like a mantra or prayer for me. I find it very soothing. I also love the way the marks float off of the surface of the painting. Looking forward to doing more of these!
