For over a decade, my gallery has been a hidden gem in Temecula—quietly housing some of the most unique and inspiring pieces of art in town. But this year, I’m determined to change that. After years of pouring my heart and soul into my art and my gallery, I’ve realized that it’s time to bring the community into my space like never before. That’s why I’m hosting my biggest event yet, the "Harvest of Art: Celebrate and Shop", on October 19th, 2024, and I want you to be part of it.
My Journey as an Artist:
I’ve been creating art for as long as I can remember, and since opening my gallery over 11 years ago, I’ve experienced all the ups and downs that come with being an artist in a small town. From winning local competitions to juggling multiple creative ventures—everything from fine art to custom tattoos—it’s been a wild ride. But through it all, one thing has remained constant: my passion for creating.
For years, I’ve worked quietly, focusing on honing my craft and expanding my portfolio. I’ve participated in art shows, collaborated with fellow artists, and built a community around creativity, but I haven’t fully stepped into the spotlight. Now, I’m ready to change that. With Harvest of Art, my goal is to share my work, and the work of my fellow local artists, with as many people as possible—and to make sure that Temecula knows who we are and what we do.
The Power of Local Art:
Art isn't just something you hang on the wall—it’s a conversation starter, a mood setter, and a reflection of your own story. When you buy local art, you’re not just getting a beautiful piece for your home; you’re bringing a part of the artist's passion, dreams, and hard work into your space.
Local artists don’t create for mass markets. They create for people who appreciate the unique and personal connection that only a one-of-a-kind piece can offer. Whether you’re looking for a new focal point in your home or a thoughtful holiday gift, each piece in my gallery is handcrafted with care and designed to speak to your heart.
And when you buy local art, you’re supporting more than just the artist—you’re uplifting the entire creative community. By filling your home with meaningful art, you’re helping to sustain the creative energy that makes Temecula special.
Why This Art Show Is So Important:
This event is more than just another art show—it’s the culmination of years of work, dedication, and passion from over 30 local artists, including members of the Temecula Valley Art League. I’ve filled my gallery with over 360 pieces of art that are waiting for new homes. Each piece represents hours of dedication, creativity, and heart.
But here’s the thing: we need space. We need to make room for new creations, and that means it’s time for some of these incredible pieces to move from the gallery walls to yours. By attending "Harvest of Art: Celebrate and Shop", you’ll be helping to keep the cycle of creativity alive.
Not only that, but 10% of the proceeds will be donated to the Western Eagle Foundation, making this event an opportunity to give back in more ways than one. And if you come in costume, you’ll even get 5% off storewide!
How You Can Be Part of This Journey:
The ‘Harvest of Art: Celebrate and Shop’ is happening on October 19th, 2024, from 3 PM to 6 PM, at my gallery at 27371 Jefferson Avenue, Suite U, Temecula, CA. It’s free to attend, and we’ll have plenty of goodies waiting for you:
First party in the door will receive a signed and numbered print.
First 5 parties will get a FREE poster!
We’re even raffling off two $25 ‘Let’s Eat’ gift cards—you might just be the lucky winner!
Come support local artists, enjoy a light Halloween theme, grab some refreshments, and let us show you why art is so much more than just decoration. It’s a way of life, and we want you to be part of it.
This isn’t just an event—it’s a community gathering, a celebration of creativity, and a chance to bring beauty and meaning into your home. I can’t wait to share this experience with you, and I hope to see you at "Harvest of Art: Celebrate and Shop".
