Buddha Abide Show in Santa Barbara

Here I am at the Buddha Abide Show opening at the Frameworks Gallery in Santa Barbara with my daughter Mika and Lark Batteau Bailey who puts on the show every year.ย  This year I submitted two pieces and they were both accepted.ย  This is my 4th year of participation as I so believe in the work that Lark does. She donates a portion of the sales to Tenzin Lodoe in the Tibetan Children’s Village and the women who are assisted by The Domestic Violence Solutions in Santa Barbara.

Art for a cause! We all love to create art and what a better way to create and be able to donate to a good cause. Iโ€™m all for it and I know a lot of other artists are as well. Witness the great turnout.

The show has now been held over due to the ferocious Jesusita fire inย  Santa Barbara .ย  They will have the First Thursday (that was postponed)ย  this Thursday to again celebrate ART.

Lark did a really clever and fun addition to this yearโ€™s event. She had artists submit 5×5 pieces that are sold for only $50, what a great idea. I did 2 pieces for this and loved the size, so now I’m inspired to do a little series in this size.ย  We’ll see what happens!ย  .ย  All the 5×5 pieces were brilliantly displayed by Christi the owner of Frameworks Gallery.

Here is Lark with her fantasmagorical organic succulent strawberries that she served. I was lucky to go home with a basket full, which of course never made it that far as I ate them in the car on the way home they were so yummy!ย  Kind of reminded me of the wild strawberries we had in Sweden that I ate growing up there.
