organizes art events throughout the year. For over five decades they have held the annual, city-wide San Francisco OPEN STUDIOS, which takes place over several weekends every autumn. Examples by many participating artists may be viewed during that time online, as well as in person at SomArts Main Gallery in San Francisco, where you can pick up a free art guide with maps and images, before going out to visit the artists and studios of your choice.Here's my ArtSpan Artist Page, and look up Ciara's, as well. Find us on ArtSpan's guide/map at the Hillside Studios this year!
Shop for print-on-demand items at Zazzle, such as the Woodpecker puzzle or Mouse puzzle each in their own box; glass key/trinket tray, or square key/trinket tray. More items can be found at Redbubble and Cafe Press.
Note: I have become dissatisfied with the quality of some of the products, especially clothing. Printful claims they offer (a few) more sustainable products, so I am building a shop there, after reading this blog. And I will no longer offer POD stickers, since I learned they're made with toxic PVC (polyvinyl chloride)
*I usually have a small inventory of some of the above items on offer during my Open Studios weekend.
I can also make high quality inkjet copies of my sold artworks, which I mount on wood panels and cover with clear encaustic wax, adding touches of oil and/or mixed media; each one is unique. If you like, I can make one to order, after you select size(s) and image(s)!
Also, the above P.O.D. links can print many of my images onto other quality substrates, such as canvas, metal, wood, etc.
When ordering from me, please enter "ART ORDER" in your e-mail subject line, describing what you want. I'll reply with an estimate, if I can fulfill your request. Add images for me to use (as inspiration), or refer to specific images of my art, if you think it will help.
Note: California state sales tax will be added, where applicablePortraits
To commission a portrait, enter "ART ORDER" in your e-mail subject line, then describe what you want, with your image attached, plus the size you want the portrait to be. I'll send you a reply with my estimate. (As messages do sometimes end up in spam folders: if you haven't heard back from me after a while, please re-send your email--thanks!)
