ONGOING BOARD MEMBERSHIPS IN 2025:
OAKLAND ART MURMUR
&
EAST BAY PHOTO COLLECTIVE
I'm excited to continue on the Boards of Directors of two of Oakland's greatest organizations linking the Visual Arts and East Bay communities: Oakland Art Murmur (OAM) and the East Bay Photo Collective (EBPCO). This enrichment of contact with the leaders behind things like First Fridays, Open Studios, and Oakland Photo Workshop brings me new lines of sight to many fellow Bay Area artists for collaborating on support, visibility and celebration.

OAKTOWN PICTURES presents
WEST OAKLAND MATTERS:
returning July 26, 2025
One of Oakland's most historically vibrant communities partnered with Oaktown Pictures to create a special one-day-only Arts & Advocacy Event produced by Oakland artists and centered on West Oakland's residential history.
​
The July 27, 2024 event featured visual artists, journalists, and neighborhood residents highlighting challenges and creativity
amidst West Oakland's resistance and resilience versus economic
and environmental crisis.
​
Ongoing Project Engagement:
contact Edwards Unlimited Productions.
​
2025 EXHIBITS
As in 2024, these show-for-sale events feature works including
monochrome landscapes, high-color street art,
and a range of abstractions in color and monochrome
transforming our surroundings into singular unexpected graphics.
