I bet you thought...

I had left for good!! As a matter of fact I haven't gone anywhere--I'm just in a place you may not have looked.

After the end of my Bakersfield College Multi-Media class in December (for which the creation and maintenance of this blog page was an assignment), I was asked by Jennifer Baldwin, editor of the local on-line news source, Bakersfield Express (www.bakersfieldexpress.org), to contribute a bi-weekly arts column to her terrific web site. Well, since the end of December until now, I have been doing that plus a little more: coverage of the local art scene from events like First Friday, gallery openings and new exhibits plus stories bringing emphasis to artistic groups like The Shutter Clique (photography), Bakersfield Jazz Workshop (musicianship) and Random Writers Workshop (lit arts). I've also been able to photograph some unique Bako artist creations!

Although I plan to add more content to this page--mainly photos and event recaps--and I do hope you'll check back from time to time, I would also love for you to check out my contributions to Bakersfield Express and keep up with me and the Bako art scene there! Also, don't forget to follow me, @BACpage, on Twitter!
