What are you doing Saturday?

Posted on Dec 14, 2018

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...

Umbrella Eye Candy + “Viva Italia”

Posted on Sep 19, 2018

Way to Love by Brooke Harker 32″ x 40″ ink, oil & acrylic on canvas -SOLD Where did you place your umbrella this past summer?  Some people placed umbrellas on their walls! Here are a couple photos from recent installations: This Life by Brooke Harker 34″ x 65″ ink, oil & acrylic on canvas -SOLD To me, umbrellas symbolize the unique stories of many individuals.
