Take ten for a last look at "The Red List"
I hate it when a whole month goes by, and then I realize I have like ONE DAY LEFT to do something important. Who needs that kind of pressure? So I figured you might appreciate a heads-up that “The Red List” is closing soon.
The endangered butterflies and moths disappear on November tenth, but you actually have only nine days left to see them. Ghost Gallery is closed on Mondays. So if you take ten minutes now to plan your visit, then you can take your time with my “Rare & Exquisite” series in person. After this coming week, you’ll have to fly south to see my work up close.
I’m excited to show my altered book triptych at “Fresh Art 2019” with the Marin Society of Artists! You might remember “Bought & Paid For” was in my solo show at the Northwest African American Museum. If you’re following my work from Northern California, your chance to see the washboard-mounted books is coming soon…
"The Red List" is the hot ticket for October
Ya know what’s worth braving cold temperatures and work week fatigue? A roomful of butterflies and moths… and the people who love them.
Ghost Gallery’s opening reception for “The Red List” was pleasantly packed, partly thanks to The Stranger recommending the exhibit as a hot pick. I met lots of new people, and old friends also showed up to see my collages in person. Which reminds me…
The gallery is open every day except Mondays. So you get nearly a whole month to decide which moths or butterflies you’d like to give a new home.

Bonus: part of your purchase will help protect the threatened current habitats of these endangered animals. The gallery will donate a percentage of sales to the Xerces Society’s conservation work. So if it’s just too chilly at night to see the show, tomorrow’s a new, warmer day to drop by. Just follow this handy guide to finding Ghost Gallery… oh, and save a cupcake for me.
"The Red List": Do you know the password?
You might get to see “The Red List” exhibit at Ghost Gallery five days before everyone else — at your own pace! — if you follow these steps:
Check your email for the password to access the online preview. (Not on my mailing list? Sign up here.)
I’ll send you the password.
At 12pm today, click on the link to browse the artwork. Take your time before making any decisions… sleep on it if you want.
But don’t take too much time — on Tuesday, October 8th, that’s when the public can access the show online.
The physical exhibit opens October 10th during the Capitol Hill Art Walk, which means two things: the pleasure of enjoying art in person, and the task of navigating art walk crowds. Fortunately, the online preview helps if you need a minute to decide what you want. Once you know that, you can make a beeline to it at the reception. Saves time and decision-making brain power. (You’re welcome.)
Of course, you could just delay the whole thing until just before the show closes on November 10th… but why?
