Showing at San Francisco Art Fair April 25-28, 2024

You’re invited to San Francisco Art Fair (formerly Art Market), April 25-28, 2024 at Fort Mason Center. This is my favorite art fair in SF, and I’m excited to be showing six new works at the Heron Arts booth. There will be 85 galleries exhibiting this year.

The fair is open to the public at the following times ($35 for a single-day ticket):

Friday, April 26, 2024: 11am—7pm
Saturday, April 27, 2024: 11am—7pm
Sunday, April 28, 2024: 11am—6pm

The Opening Evening is Thursday, April 25, 6-9pm. If you’d like to attend that event (i.e., for first dibs!), you’ll need to purchase a fair pass ($65), which gets you into the opening, plus all three days. I’ll be at the opening on Thursday.

Location: Fort Mason Festival Pavilion, 2 Marina Boulevard, SF. Tickets can be purchased online, or at the door.

If you’d like to see the advance preview of my work ahead of time, email Tova Lobatz, Heron Arts director and curator.

Upcoming Gallery Show at Heron Arts

Come by Heron Arts in San Francisco on Saturday, July 9, 4-7pm! I’m part of a group show with a handful of incredible paper artists from all over the world. It’s a diverse group of folks, and the artwork I’ve seen looks amazing — Colossal recently published a little preview, if you’re curious to see. I’ll have three small paper sculptures, and some stop-motion videos. Event details here! Hope to see you there!

Sanctuary Panel Discussion

As part of the Sanctuary group show at Heron Arts this fall, the three other artists — Anastasia Tumanova, Nicole Sweeney, and Alice Wiese — and I hosted a panel discussion, moderated by Jen Woo of Rogue Habits.

About 100 people attended, and we served samosas and homemade masala chai. Guests had a chance to wander the gallery to see our work for a bit, and then we had a lively and honest discussion. We talked about our studio practices, the ways in which our communities shape our work, and what it was like to collaborate on producing a group show ourselves.

Sanctuary Opening Reception

Wow, y’all really packed the house! We had over 300 folks come to the opening reception of our group show, Sanctuary, at Heron Arts last Saturday. What a blast!

Upcoming Group Show: Sanctuary at Heron Arts

Mark your calendars! I’m participating in a group show at Heron Arts next month featuring four female Bay Area artists: Anastasia Tumanova, Nicole Sweeney, Alice Wiese, and myself. If you like my work, I guarantee that you’ll love this show. The opening reception is Saturday, October 26, 6-9pm. RSVP here!

A Group Exhibition by Heron Arts Gallery

Opening Reception - Saturday, October 26th
Showing Through - Saturday, November 30th

Sanctuary brings together the meditative and textural works of four female Bay Area artists: Zai Divecha, Nicole Sweeney, Anastasia Tumanova, and Alice Wiese. Through the use of light color palettes, repetitive shapes, and organic forms, the artwork takes on an introspective and soothing aura, inspiring feelings of inner peace and psychic refuge. Working in a different medium — paper, wood, ceramic, and fiber respectively — each artist pushes the boundaries of their chosen craft in technique, application, and expression.

Join us for the opening reception on Saturday, October 26, from 6-9pm. Drinks and light bites will be served.
