Only Two More Weeks for Outlook

That's right, you've only got a couple more weekends to check out the new work by Marguerite Schaffron. I've been trying to get an image of some of her work up here on the blog, but blogger is having some tech glitches.

• You can see work that was inspired by her recent trip to Mexico and some retreats she's had at a Buddhist monastery here in Northern California. The work includes photography, paintings and some mixed media work.
  

Please join her on 2nd Saturday from 6 to 9 pm at the gallery at 25th & R Streets behind the gray fence. One thing is for sure, you will not go away hungry. Marguerite is a very generous artist when it comes to receptions.

Cynstones at Gallery

New jewelry by Cynthia Burdick shares the stage with Marguerite Schaffron’s new photography and painting this weekend at the gallery inside HQ: Headquarters for the Arts, 1719 25^th St., Sacramento (behind the gray fence at 25^th & R Sts.) Burdick's designs use natural objects like freshwater pearls, natural stones, semi-precious gems, metals, lampwork handmade glass beads, infused glass and crystals. Each design is unique, no two necklaces or bracelets or earrings are ever alike.

A New Outlook
