3 Art Openings- 1 Night!
Saturday December 15, 2018
Los Angeles, CA & Rome, Italy
Well it is great to have art in three exhibits all in one night:) I won’t be able to be in both LA and Italy at the same time though unless I figure out how to travel through a portal.
I will be at Gallery 825, in Los Angeles, alongside one of my newest paintings of the former iconic building, The Redbury. A shame such a beautiful building is no longer part of Hollywood…although no surpirse that there is always change in the world. Some change is beautiful, and other change isn’t so easy.
One of my paintings of Beverly Hills will also be in this exhibit (see bottom of this update for a photo of Beverly Ride with my former studio assistant).

“Connessione Oltre Confini” (Connection Over Borders) Rome, Italy 6-9pm
Two paintings of Hollywood & Beverly Hills will be part of an exhibit that opens at Area Contesa Arte in Rome, Italy. Technically because of the time difference, this exhibit will occur first.
I coordinated this exhibit featuring the art of 25 American artists in collaboration with Italian curator/producer Alfio Borghese and US curators Dale Youngman & Juri Koll. Artists from California, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Texas & Arizona will be represented.
Rodeo in Spring by Brooke Harker 34″ x 51″ ink, oil & acrylic on canvas
The exhibit promotes the exchange of ideas between cultures through art.

The studio continues to miss Sherman laying next to every mess…(The painting behind him, Beverly Ride, will be in the exhibit at Gallery 825 on Saturday December 15, 2018)
The studio also misses having an orange cat to lay near the original holiday cards for collectors that are now in the process of being prepped for mailing…again a bi-annual project after they survived the air/soot of California wildfires two years in a row (I keep them stapled to a panel outside throughout the year to dry as they come from left over paint). More about this specific batch later.
If you would like to be a collector–there is still time to get an original card:)! Contact me or a gallery that represents my work.
