After five and a half years in downtown Campbell I have decided to close our beautiful retail gallery location to take some time for myself and family. Do I feel sad, yes. Will I miss my downtown peeps, Yes. Will I be able to create new bodies of art and reinvent… Yes.  Will I be able to breathe and take time for myself, Yes.  It’s all good.

Between working 8 days a week and 48 hours a day, I have to step back and take some time by taking advantage of our lease expiring at the end of the year.  A huge thank you to Sal Pizarro for writing a lovely summary on this past Sunday Mercury News.

I will assure you all that I am not going out of business, I am merely relocating (place TBD) and taking time to pursue some other fun and creative personal interests. I will surely miss our wonderful downtown merchants and community, the gallery space is awesome, but life is important and too short to not spend time with family and pursue travel and other experiences.
