The butterfly effect in art class
Who knew bugs could be so much fun? Clearly, the first people to sign up for the online art class I co-hosted — and maybe you too, if you can join us…
Work by Eva Rohr, “Bugs!” class artist
The students in Carla Sonheim’s “Bugs!” class really took to the collage process, and some of the (grown-up) kids let me share their work. Some you’d find in nature…

Work by artists who took “Bugs!” as a group
… and other bugs live only in the artist’s imagination. I’m told this one started out as a monarch butterfly. Looks like it evolved!

Here’s the best part: “Bugs!” is open to new students, and now at a 15% discount! (All the online classes are 15% off too, so feel free to splurge.)

What are you going to make? An Atlas moth? Maybe a blue morpho?
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.
