What you'll do
Oakland Picture Lady: Tales of the 90's Girl is a collection of fine art photographs, collages and short stories I captured in the Bay Area in the 1990's. Guest experience the exhibition in a unique indoor/outdoor art gallery on lovely victorian property in West Oakland. There are roughly 30 fine art photographs & collages for guest to view while hearing stories of my experience as a hip-hop photojournalist working with local and national record labels, magazines, and recording artist.
Upon arrival guest will meet me at the tree in front of my house where I will share information about the historic neighborhood and property you are visiting. We will then walk up the stairs through a majestic archway of my queen Anne victorian house to the 2nd floor galleries. Upon entering guest will view my original photographs of the Bay Area's music industry, and excerpts of the many short stories that accompany this exhibition. Next we will exit the 2nd floor and view the 1st floor outdoor gallery and garden featuring photographs of my neighborhood. In the garden there are refreshments, music, places to dance or chill, and more photographs.
The guided tour will last for about an hour and a half with breaks for guest to have refreshments and take in the art and music playlist on their own. The last 30 minutes open to questions, conversation, and expressions.
