Hi Everyone!
Welcome to my website! This is my 16th year with Silicon Valley Open Studios. I'm excited to show my ceramics this year with an emphasis on Minis. I have also decided to share my photos from my National Park trips. They are printed on canvas. I'll have some watercolors and oils up on the walls as well.
I've been working in the ceramics studio in Central Park in San Mateo, and have been playing with different shapes and sizes, specifically minis. You can see some of them in the picture. I am excited to share them with you, and all will be for sale.
Open Studios is a wonderful time to check out artists in our studios and reconnect with old friends and colleagues! I'll be in the studio both weekends, the first and second, in the 3 SVOS offerings. I'll be there *Saturday and Sunday, May 2nd and 3rd, and 9th and 10th, from 11 to 5 pm! *
Don't forget that nothing is better than a gift of an original piece of artwork, especially Minis (they are soo cute!)! Sunday, the 10th of May, is Mother's Day! Invite your mom to the studios or pick up a watercolor, oil painting, or some ceramic pieces for her. I don't giclee or color print my work (except for my photos), so it's all original.
See you on May 2nd and 3rd, and 9th and 10th from 11 am to 5 pm!
The Peninsula Studios are located at 1022 North Idaho St. in San Mateo, and I am in Studio #8. It's on the same block as the old breakfast/lunch place Nini's, and steps from Hot Wok Bistro, Kitchentown, Bonjour Bakehouse, and Golden Boy Pizza. Can't wait to see you all soon!!
Please click Portfolio and then roll over the first 13+ pictures there, they are all folders to view more of my work! Click on any of the pictures to see the artwork in that folder.
Some information about me: I am a fourth-generation San Franciscan. I attended Mercy High School in San Francisco and the University of California at Santa Barbara, where I graduated with my BA in Art Studio and my Master's of Education. I moved to South America in 1995 to work as an art teacher in Barranquilla, Colombia. When I moved back to the States, I started the Art Department at Junipero Serra High School, and I completed my 20th year there in 2018. I graduated from Palo Alto University (the old Pacific Graduate School of Psychology) with my Master's in Counseling in 2017, and I now have a private practice in San Mateo, CA. Peggy Farrell, LMFT
