This is a great opportunity to meet the amazing Doyon family: Mom, Jane Beaumont Hall is the Director, Dad, Richard Doyon is the Executive Producer. Their daughters, Suzanne Marie and Janine Doyon, played major roles in the movie. Making this movie was a real family affair, which also included other family and friends as actors and crew. The Tillamook Treasure is a film with a strong message about the importance of family. People of all ages will be inspired and entertained by the film!

Emily Wiseman just finished two murals for THE GALLEY, a soon to be opened restaurant in the northern California town of Cotati.

Bergmot Station in Santa Monica was bursting at the seams with people when Suzan Woodruff and I arrived! My favorite was Andy Moses' new paintings at Patricia Faure Gallery. His paintings are fabulous abstracts that draw you into their depths.

Track 16 presented The 2nd Annual LA Weekly Biennial MFA WMDs. Much of the work was "schoolish", however, I did spot a few wonderful pieces that are worth checking out when the Gallery is less crowded.
