Wow, so much happening. How are you all doing? Following the words of people much smarter than myself, I’m managing my responses to the news of the day with a healthy dose of skepticism and deep breathing exercises. And making ART.
March is shaping up to be a WHOPPER for Art. The Fig Tree Gallery in Fresno will be hosting my solo exhibition for the month, giving you a wide viewing opportunity. I’ll be showing a few favorites but mostly new work, including a few (gasp) landscapes. Here are the details!

FRESNO, CA
Thursday, MARCH 6 – OPENING - ARTHOP 5-8PM.
Saturday, MARCH 8 – RECEPTION 6-9 PM. Refreshments, music and friends!!!
Sunday, MARCH 16 – Artist Talk. 1-3 PM
Bring your art students!
As many of you know, my process is circuitous and exploratory. I typically begin with play in color, abstraction and manipulation of materials. Sometimes I have a form in mind, sometimes I find a shape that reminds me of a human gesture and then go hunting for a reference (or make my family pose )to bring it into focus. In the last year, some of the color play and abstraction have stood on their own, which has brought me enormous joy. At the end of the day, I think my favorite work is stuff in which as Robert Ogata says, “The process is the content.”
As an example, here’s a preview of “Cat Ladies”, which is 48x 48” Acrylic and oil on canvas.
I am releasing a limited series of prints - 20 x 24” formatted to fit beautifully in a standard size frame. $165 so send me a message!
BUT THERE’S MORE!
The John Natsoulas Gallery in Davis has kindly invited me to participate in their group show, “Working Through It: Women and Their Art” (March 5-April 5, 2025)

“CARRY YOUR OWN LIGHT'“. 36 x 36 “ acrylic and oil on canvas

Looking forward to the rest of the spring, the wonderful Sasse Museum of Art has kindly invited me to exhibit for the Months of May and June. Please stay tuned for more details!!
AND FINALLY,
I want to sincerely thank you for your support and interest. The world is filled with wonderful people and its such joy to be around you.
WITH LOVE,
KATI
