Desert Open Studios Jan 2025
I’m so proud of Desert Open Studios now in its 5th year! As a co-founder I believe our goal of connecting local artists with art enthusiasts has been achieved and with more than 150 artists participating it was a big hit this year and I look forward to the 2026 edition. I’m not managing the event going forward but happy to be part of the talented group of artists in the Via Negocio arts district. This year I donated $5200 of sales to support a friend and fellow artist who lost their home in the Altadena fires. I can’t imagine what it was like evacuating and leaving with only your pets and the clothes on your back so I wanted to help in any way I could.
