WINTER SHOW at Salmon Bend
I’ll be showing some new work at Salmon Bend Art Studios in November.
Salmon Bend is an artist-run gallery space in an old prune drying barn in the Sacramento Valley managed by Gabe Babcock (wood/stone/ceramic), my mom Roberta James (fiber arts), and me.
Opening Reception:
November 3rd @ 5:30pm
On view
November 4th-5th & 11th-12th
12:00pm-4:00pm
If you’re near, I hope to see you there.
New Print: Some Jugs
I made the original artworks with paper cutouts — scanned and repositioned digitally — printed with black ink. I like how very much like birds or bodies the jugs are.
This variable edition comes on, Coffee, Parchment, Pink, Yellow, or Peach paper.
UPDATE: Parchment, Pink, and Peach have sold out! If you are interested in being the first to know when the next print drops in the shop, sign up for my newsletter (link below in the footer).
Blue Valentines
New Cards for Valentine’s Day (or any day), printed with Scarlet and Blue Risograph inks on recycled paper. Comes with a matching blue envelope.

WINTER SHOW at Salmon Bend
My mom is also an artist (textile/fiber arts/quilting). Last year, she and I, and our friend Gabe Babcock (ceramic/stone/wood) put on a show out at the end of Brown Road (out in the sticks) in an old prune processing barn that Gabe built-out into this beautiful gallery space. I installed some of my drawings and prints. We had a big party and opened the gallery for a few weekends in December. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun.
We’re doing it again this year, the first two weekends of December. I hope you can make it!
I will be exhibiting new artwork and some new GOODS at the Salmon Bend Art Studios’ Winter Show next month.
Happening the first two weekends in December (3-4th & 10-11th), open Noon-4:00pm.
If you’re local to Colusa, CA come out for the opening reception on Saturday
December 3rd, 2022 • 4:00-6:00pm
