Stay tuned

Our first season on ArtSpace was so successful, we are keeping the fun going. Our monthly ArtSpace studio visits are in the third week of each month(ish) - the day is determined by the artist. Membership will promote your open house through social media, our web page, and Portfolio. We will provide refreshments and signage. 

Not sure what to expect? Read Lorraine Well's report on her experience.  https://livermoreartassociation.org/member-news/f/artspace-june-2022 

Visiting where and how you work is fun and beneficial for other artists to glean your clever ideas. We hope you will volunteer to host an ArtSpace studio visit. To Schedule Your Open House, contact Georgia Jacobs, Membership, at 925 321-9488 or email membership@livermoreart.org

Artist Statement: "Flowers are my passion and photography provides the ideal window on their world. Expect to see digital artworks focusing on subject matter drawn from nature with all its rich and vibrant hues and experience floral feel-good moments. My objective is to practice mindfulness and capture the beauty and wonder that I see then share it to bring moments of joy, gratitude and calm to others. Uplifting encouragement based on my mantra “Think. Act. Persevere.” is at the core of my work and I wholeheartedly subscribe to the idea that life is “Better With Maximum Flowers!” Link to Fables and Flora YouTube Intro Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GG6f9NBhOm8 Website: https://fablesandflora.com/
