One of the 365 sketches by Jay Mercado that will be on display at his studio this Saturday
[This event was originally scheduled for March 5, but it will now be on this Saturday, March 12th – SB]
Local artist Jay Mercado is hosting a special, one day only exhibition on Saturday to showcase his daily sketches from the past year.
This group of ink scribblings is a sampling from my ongoing morning sketch ritual. I invite you to see the 365 from 2010! To sketch is to live in the moment. It becomes a visual journal born from the quiet action of observing. Sketching is an integral form of meditation which serves to ground me and provide an inner oasis as I begin each creative day.
The show will run from 10am until 5pm, with a special “informal super-mini-sketching-semi-workshop/doodle session” from 10 until 11 from Jay. I hear mallomars will also be served, or you can just salivate over some of Jay’s donut art.
Jay’s studio and gallery, Art Mercado, is located on the corner of 10th Avenue and California.
