Glenn Vilppu and Valerie Freeman at AV College Art Gallery
It’s another great show. What can I say? Glenn Vilppu is a Master at his art, oh my goodness!! Prior to installing the exhibition, Glenn said he had 60 pieces and I said we will need to edit, bring them all, but we’ll probably fit about 45 pieces. Oh, my, my… I installed 59 and it would have been 60, if not for one being delivered damaged. Every piece is amazing. I prefer not to stack and like to leave substantial space between works, but the freshness, spontaneity and craftsmanship of Glenn’s work is outstanding and not to be missed.
The opening reception is Weds. September 3rd at 7pm at the Antelope Valley College Art Gallery. Glenn will be giving a talk at 7:15pm in the Gallery. Please join us for a celebration of a true Master of Art, Glenn Vilppu.

Sunday, September 7th, 11am-3pm on the Santa Monica Pier, marks the 9th annual celebration of Mattel’s Party on the Pier benefiting UCLA Children’s Hospital. This is a great event and a lot of fun for the entire family. There’s delicious food, fun entertainment, silent auctions, unlimited rides, arts and crafts, dogs in service and it’s a tremendous cause.
I’m donating 2 items for the Silent Auction; one is to consult for Decorative Painting and the other is for a Pet Portrait. I love to paint children’s nurseries and playrooms and look forward to creating a fantastic mural for the lucky winner. And any one who knows me, knows how much I love animals and to paint their pet portraits. It’s quite an Art to capture their expression and soul. So, come on out to the Santa Monica Pier on Sunday the 7th, have a blast and hopefully win the opportunity to have me create something very special for you. But most of all, please help support the Mattel’s Children’s Hospital because it works very hard to save our children!

The opening reception at the City of Lancaster Museum Art Gallery was will received. In 2007, I met with the Museum Curator and Assistant Curator to review my proposal for the Experimental Photography Exhibit which combined artists from the Antelope Valley and Los Angeles. It was wonderful to see it come to fruition and to meet former and new artists of the artworks.
To see more photos of the opening, please visit Installations.
