Wow! I’ve been accepted into The Other Art Fair in LA (presented by Saatchi Art) featuring “100 talented emerging artists, each hand picked by a Selection Committee of art world experts” including The Jealous Curator who reviewed my portraits in 2017.
This is the only art fair (or like) I’ve applied to. Late October in Santa Monica.

I was standing at the back of the Wonder Ballroom in Portland when The Julie Ruin’s keyboard player Kenny Mellman started talking about Mecca Normal between songs, saying we’re his favorite band. When he finally let Kathleen Hanna talk (at 1:20 above), she said, “Jean Smith is a great painter!” She also told the audience to follow me on social media. So… “Friend” me on FaceBook to catch the $100 USD paintings as they are posted.
It was so great to open for The Julie Ruin in Vancouver, Seattle and Portland!
