Spring 2012



Greetings friends! A big THANK YOU to everyone who came to see me at The Rose Cafe last month and the opening reception at La Galeria Gitana last weekend! It was great to see all of you, and I appreciate your encouragement and support. The Rose Cafe show has been extended through May 6th, so if you haven't seen it, you have a few weeks left to check it out.

I have a number of exhibits and events where I'll be showing my work this spring, the details of which are listed below. Lots of opportunities to see and purchase my recent paintings and leaf monoprints!

I hope you're all enjoying glorious spring weather, and continue to prosper and thrive!

As always,

My work was also featured in the March 8th edition of The Argonaut, a local paper that covers news and events for the Westside of Los Angeles. Click on the image above to read the full article.
 

 
Recent Acquisition

SulmeyerKupetz is a downtown Los Angeles law firm that recently purchased six of my paintings for their offices. The sale was arranged by Petra Wright of Gloria Delson Contemporary Arts, a downtown gallery where I have shown my work. Petra does a great job of selecting artists for the gallery, hanging the shows, and selling artwork. Check out this great gallery the next time you're downtown, or during Downtown Artwalk on the second Thursday night of each month.

With a long-standing interest in incorporating nontoxic and eco-friendly materials into her artwork, artist Cassandra Tondro uses leftover acrylic latex paint – better known as house paint – in her paintings. She rescues the paint from recycling centers in the Los Angeles area before it is sent to landfills, and also combs the "mistint" shelves of home improvement stores.

Cassandra's paintings have been featured in solo and group exhibitions throughout the United States and abroad. Her work is in numerous public, corporate and private collections. In addition, one of her paintings was selected for the American Embassy in Yaounde, Cameroon in conjunction with the Art in Embassies Program, sponsored by the U.S. Department of State.
