Holiday Gift Sale and Art Show

Shop local! Original, handmade arts and crafts make great gifts for yourself and for everyone on your list.

Hard to believe it's holiday season again, but December is fast approaching. I love this time of year because I get to show my friends and collectors what I've been working on for the past 12 months.

My 2013 Holiday Art Show and Sale will be held at the Village Shops and Galleries,10330 San Pablo Ave, El Cerrito, between Eureka and Stockton Streets, on Saturday to Sunday December 7 and 8, and Wednesday through Sunday Dec. 11 to 15. We'll be open each day from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

I'm so proud to show off my new photos and mixed-media artwork and crafts, and excited to introduce a line of upcycled creations, where I bring fresh life to paper and fabric destined for landfill. Come check out the bracelet cuffs, purses, phone and e-reader holders I make from discarded home decor fabric books; and the envelopes and other paper crafts I make from outdated calendars and unusable books.

I hope you'll be able to stop by to enjoy some snacks, catch up and chat. As always, I have a wide range of handmade and original-designed gifts (for yourself and for friends and family - including pets), at all different prices: including jewelry, wearable art, purses, scarves, cards and prints, boxes, home decor, books, soap, beeswax candles, and more!

The Gallery is wheelchair accessible, and there’s plenty of on-street free parking. It’s about a half mile from the El Cerrito Plaza BART station.
