Los Gatos | Marie Cameron Studio

The thing about showing your art is that you need to shlep it around a bit but I’m up for it!

Shell Grave is just too large for my Prius so instead of making other arrangements, I decided to walk it down to the Los Gatos Museums Gallery where it will hang for the next three months. We both got a little air and exercise and I’m sure we made a pretty picture too. Hey, where is a photographer when you need one! There will be a holiday reception for this show Thursday, November 29 from 6-8:30 pm.

Imprint and Last Stand were handed off to a gauntlet of very capable Los Gatos Art Association volunteers for installation in the LGAA Fall 2012 Juried Members Show which will run until December 1 at the Addison-Penzak Jewish Community Center in Los Gatos. There will be a reception Sunday, November 4 from 1-3 pm.

Marie Cameron brings Imrpint & Last Stand to JCC 2012

Here I am at the JCC with Imprint & Last Stand for the LGAA Fall 2012 Juried Members Show.

I keep an album of vintage postcards in my studio as evidence of what preceded the Silicon Valley. The mountain views of the Valley of Heart’s Delight are still recognizable of course but these fluffy blankets of blooms now lie like bits of lint intersected by highways and subdivisions. Our last remaining orchard in Los Gatos, the North 40, is now slated for development. It would be bulldozed already if there agreement on what combination of shops and restaurants and housing in required. Maybe a remnant of the past makes for a better future.
