Almost exactly a year ago, I emailed Rare Device to inquire about showing my work there. Rare Device has carried my bags for years (I think that it was my first wholesale customer), but I’d never shown my fine art work there. Actually, I’d never really shown my fine art work anywhere. And, on top of that, I hadn’t created much fine art work at that point.
But I’m a big believer in (1) asking for what I want, and (2) agreeing to something, then figuring out how to do it; last Friday, after printing, piecing, and stitching for months, my show, Hwy 5, opened at Rare Device.
In a way, these pieces have been in the works for a long time. The title of the show, Hwy 5, is a nod to the dozens of times I’ve driven the stretch of Highway 5 between LA and the Bay Area since I moved to San Francisco 20+ years ago. While others may find this trip, mostly on flat land through the industrial farmland of the Central Valley, boring, I find it a respite from my every day life of phone calls and emails and social media.
The show will be up until the end of the month. If you’re in the Bay Area, please stop by! You can also see the work online – and purchase a piece or two – here.
Jen!
I am over the moon excited for you! I love what you have to say about saying yes to what you desire and then figuring it out. It reminds me of the idea of doing something that scares you. I’m incredibly excited to take your block printing class next weekend. New inspiration is so key.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful work, I can’t wait to do some of my own!
Cheers,
Amy

All I listen to is a lot of yawping regarding something that you could repair if you werent too busy seeking interest.
Nice post. I learn something more challenging on distinct blogs everyday. It will always be stimulating to read content off their writers and practice a little something from their store. I’d choose to use some with all the content in my small weblog whether you do not mind. Natually I’ll provide a link on your own internet weblog. Many thanks sharing.
I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your blog? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?
Please let me know if you’re looking for a author for your site. You have some really great articles and I feel I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I’d really like to write some articles for your blog in exchange for a link back to mine. Please blast me an email if interested. Many thanks!

I’m impressed, I have to admit. Genuinely rarely will i encounter a weblog that’s both educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail to the head.

I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting
my own blog and was wondering what all is required
to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a
pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% sure.
Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Appreciate it
