Dec 7 - put it on your calendar

Hello internet friends,

If you are in the Los Angeles area, I strongly suggest you come out to Bergamot Station on Saturday, Dec 7.

I'm teaming up with a great organization called ReDiscover. We'll be hosting an art workshop for the kids (of any ages, that means grandma too) from 4 - 6pm. It will be the first time they've had live art in the gallery!

I'll be showing a lot of art that has never been exhibited in LA before. There are 100 tiles that tell a story in narrative form. I will also be showing my collection of headdresses that  have been donned at TEDtv conference in Scotland, on the front page of itunes, and on stage all over the US, in the UK, Russia, and Paris. On the wall will be photographs and sketches that show the process of building the headdresses.

Musical guest is Elizaveta, also known for her fantastic headdresses (hehe). You can read more about her rockstar music at the bottom or at her webpage.
