The past two years have been a blur. It’s crazy how time can fly by, especially during a pandemic. I’ve done a lot over the last two years — like having a baby girl and creating an online course — but one thing that I forgot to keep up with is my blog writing. I kept staring at my blog post from Winter 2019, thinking wow, that was a long time ago. Why haven’t I blogged? I don’t really know why, but I think it’s related to Covid. I also think time got the best of me. I didn’t really know what to post. I felt like I kept waiting for the next show or event to happen. Then, I remembered that I had two events that happened right before March 2020, so I thought I’d share some photos from one of those nights. Hopefully, sharing these photos gets me back into my blog sharing.

These photos are from my solo show at Culture Brewing Co. in San Diego, CA in February 2020.

I look forward to having some shows in the future… and maybe blog a bit more.

I love craft beer as much as I love art. Sometimes, I even treat myself to an occasional craft beer while I paint or draw. The two go so well together. So for me, having an art show at a local craft brewery is as fitting as peas and carrots. I never thought of the possibility to have an art show at a brewery until Matt Hazelton reached out to me to be a part of an art show at Scholb Craft Beer. Uhm, Yass! Needless to say, I was thrilled. What can I say? I love craft beer + art.

The South Bay is amazing. I’m lucky to live in an area with an exploding scene of craft beer alongside a growing community of artists. It’s quickly becoming home to LA’s largest selection of craft beer, including breweries like Scholb, Monkish, LA Ale Works, The Dude’s, King Harbor and so many more. From Inglewood to Torrance, you can find a unique brewery that can satisfy your taste buds. The coolest part about the expanding brewery scene, is the events they put on to attract more beer lovers. Scholb is definitely making its mark on the South Bay by bringing the community together and hosting art shows in their brewery.

It’s an incredible time to be in the South Bay with new breweries and galleries starting to populate the area. While the beach will remain the main attraction, more art shows and gallery events are beginning to take place. There is no doubt, as more craft breweries pop up, more events like this art show will continue into the future. So, we’ll see you at the next one.

Thank you, Matt and Scholb Craft Beers for including Boelter Design Co in such a fun night of art + beer. I had a blast sharing my art, selling prints, hanging with friends, and drinking some great award winning beer.

’til the next, Cheers!
