About Me



If you create it...they will come.

If you like art, come by Studio Fourteen to see what I do Thursday through Sunday.
The gallery is open everyday 11am-4pm, and by appointment and by chance earlier or later. I teach jewelry classes at Studio Fourteen Friday 9:30 and 6pm and Saturday 9:30 and 4pm. Pilar Moreno, oil painter, is at Studio Fourteen Monday through Wednesday. When you plan to visit, call ahead to see if I'm in, just to be sure 619.284.DIVA (3482)(I'd be sad if I missed you.)

In the evening, join us for our monthly evening events, the fourth Thursday of each month. All the art studios are open until 9pm. Live music, foodies and drinky-poos. Good Times!
