Piedmont ave Art Walk, Oakland, March 2012
Erica puts the whole thing together. Her shop is The Rare Bird. Piedmont Ave Art Walk happens every Third Thursday of the month. She is doing the work of a small army.
I am a sucker for the brilliant and simple merchandising at The Rare Bird. The jewelry-art of Katie Evans.
I love plein aire works from the early 20th century. above: Harry Emerson Lewis, Solitude, 1905. From the collection of Page Yarwood, on display at Cafe Crush (3943 Piedmont Ave. Oakland) show runs through April 19th.

Erica is amazing! She is doing such a great job at Rare Bird and at Piedmont Ave. The mural she commissioned added another life to the alley between Rare Bird and Cato’s.
Erica’s love for art is “contagious” and I’m really happy that she brings these amazing artists every month to her store and has a party!
Can’t get much better than that.
