Art has a way of connecting ideas, emotions and experiences. Art also connects people. I have had the pleasure of meeting and befriending some of the most talented and inspiring artists. Stacey Ransom and Jason Mitchell (aka @ransom_mitchell) were two that planted the seed in my mind for putting together a Bay Area Dark Art show. Their digital photography is a mind blowing alternative universe of skillful illusion....one that I am happy to get completely lost in. They are a MUST FOLLOW on IG. Meet Stacy, Jason and the rest of the Awakened By The Midnight featured artists at the Online Opening Reception via Zoom on July 11st 7-9pm PST. I'm happy to share the link with you. Just send me a message. #darkart #darkartist #darkartshow #darkartexhibition #awakenedbythemidnight #digitalphotography #artshow #artopening #onlineart #sfart #sfartshow #sfartevent #sfartists #sfbayareaart #arcgallery (at Arc Studios & Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCL-6poBd3I/?igshid=1deukfa28lwuw

I clearly remember the first time I saw Tanya Herrera's pyrography on bones and the big impression her work made with me. I've been coveting her work ever since. I am fortunate to include Tanya as one of the 24 Bay Area artists in the Awakened by the Midnight, Dark Art Exhibition. She has 3 outstanding pieces that I'd love to share with you during the online reception on Saturday, July 11th 7-9pm held from Arc Gallery. Send me a message and I'll respond with the Zoom link!

I first met Flora Cruells Benzal in 2019 at the Edwardian Ball in San Francisco. Her earthware sculptures totally resonated with me and I invited her right away to be in the Awakened by the Midnight group exhibition that I was planning and curating. 18 months later and here we are....getting ready for the big show! You'll get to meet all three of her clever creatures at the online opening taking place on Zoom Saturday, July 11th 7-9pm. Everyone is invited! Send me a message and I'll share with you the Zoom link.

Another Artist that I am so taken with is Heather Allison of @venerationoflight. Her still life photography is phenomenal and looks more like a rich oil painting. Be sure to follow her on IG! I am so lucky to have 2 of Heather's framed pieces in the Awakened by the Midnight group show that I have curated to feature the dark art of 24 Bay Area Artists at @arcgallerysf. The online opening will take place Saturday, July 11th 7-9pm and everyone is invited! Send me a message and I'll share with you the Zoom link.
