Please visit me and Jane Head at Andrea Allen’s studio at 33620 Highway One Gualala, CA 95445
Please note, The weekend of August 29-30 my work will be at her studio for you to see and I will be at her studio on Sept 5-7th labor day weekend.
Andrea Allen, recent move to Gualala has totally fulfilled her passion for being part of a fantastic art community and continuing her painting while looking out of her studio window at the magnificent ocean. Allen is incredibly inspired to incorporate all these new visual and sensory experiences into her work, while continuing to utilize all the traditional Chinese techniques, balanced with a subtle contemporary flair. Ancient symbolism and philosophy continue to influence Allen’s work, enhancing the feeling of vital energy and serenity. The overall effect is for the viewer to be effortlessly invited into each painting, experiencing a peaceful balance and harmony in a timeless continuum.
Ling-Yen is well known in the northern California artist community for her expertly crafted, precious metal and semi-precious gemstone rings, pendants, brooches, necklaces, and earrings.
Many of her pieces are conceived in elegant, Oriental motifs, and constitute a hallmark of her unique artistic expression.
Ling-Yen’s jewelry is made to fit all ranges of a fine jewelry spectrum, from low-cost, casual everyday accessories, to that special, high fashion, treasure.
Jane paints in multiple layers of acrylics and various modeling pastes and plasters, sometimes adding textured or hand-printed papers, building colorful dimensional and complex surfaces with a more abstracted finish. She also makes hand-built ceramics adding whimsical birds flowers and animals to her pieces which are both sculptural and useful.

The backbone of the festival and the key to its success are the three hundred fine artists and crafters whose display booths are placed back-to-back along University Avenue. These exhibitors are the reason why this festival attracts such a high percentage of fine artists and crafters whose work you’ll see only at a few select shows on the West Coast.
And don’t forget to stop by and listen to sidewalk piano virtuosos. Located on the plaza at the corner of University & Tasso Streets: Chopin and Chandeliers. For more info.
And, always a crowd-pleaser, the Italian Street Painting Expo, sponsored by the Palo Alto Weekly, will again offer sixty chalk artists creating larger-than-life works of art all weekend long on Tasso Street. This year’s beneficiary of the funds raised by the Italian Street Painting Expo is Palo Alto’s Youth Community Service.
Local participation is high at this event. The Palo Alto Parents & Professionals for Art are the organizers and beneficiaries of the kids’ art & crafts area called the Kids’ Art Studio. Also, the Kiwanis Club of Palo Alto will again manage and serve the micro-brews and fine wines that can be found throughout the festival.
PLEASE NOTE: the City of Palo Alto has a ban on the use of plastic & paper bags for carrying purchased merchandise. The Chamber of Commerce highly recommends that festival attendees bring their own tote bags for easy transportation of multiple purchases.
For those driving to the festival, free parking is within a block or two of the festival site, with parking for disabled patrons in all city lots. Festival attendees though are encouraged to use public transit or ride a bike. For transit information go to 511.org.
If you are a dog owner thinking about bringing “Cuddles” to the festival, please reconsider. Large crowds can easily make a typically mellow dog very anxious & sometimes aggressive.

Dolphin Exhibition Come Fly with Me featuring B.Kelley, prints and L.Jones, Jewelry

Come fly with me!
Come fly with me is a journey that I thought was about learning more about my work with some of my favorite birds the crane and swallow. However, it is also about learning how to transition from being at home “sheltering in place” to exhibiting, showing, and sharing my work. My jewelry is my story. Come Fly with Me is an invitation to witness my story. We all have had the challenge of sheltering in place so each person may recognize aspects of my challenge this was one way I choose to address it.
I appreciate being in this show with Barbara Kelley. She and I have shown together in previous Dolphin shows as well as she hosting me at her Sea Ranch home for the North Coast Artist guild “Studio Tour” for nine years.
It was good to have this time to create and think about what it means to come and fly with me.
The journey was to learn how to work with the big changes and to figure out how to fly.
Thank you for coming to see this show. Come fly with me.
