I was so pleased to have been included in the 2020 Left Coast Annual (LCA) Exhibition which was juried by Carin Adams, Curator of Art at the Oakland Museum of California. Over 800 entries were submitted, and only 50 were chosen by 49 artists. The show was supposed to open on Friday, April 10, at the Sanchez, except that a global pandemic got in the way. Thankfully, the fine team at the Sanchez, artists and Sanchez Art Center staff, (Janet Barker, Program Manager and Cindy Abbott, Executive Director) pivoted to create this first show in new virtual galleries.

My piece, Cousin Chaos I, Ordered, was the only one I entered, and I was over the moon when it was included and then won a Juror Prize! It was among the first I did on my own drypoint print, and I experimented with loosening up the image into the pattern.

The Sanchez extended the show for two weeks until May 27, and added a fun twist: a new mini pop-up show "Art x Nature x Art". The event pairs eleven randomly selected 2020 Left Coast Annual artworks with floral creations inspired by an artists' work, and I was charmed by the floral creation by Susan Landry that was inspired by mine!
