producing bouquets in the soul constantly,” says Leigh Toldi, one of the
artists whose painting “Unfolding Bouquet” will be in the art show at City Hall
in Daly City to celebrate the induction and inaugural term of David J. Canepa
as Mayor of Daly City.

Alysanne McGaffey describes her recent
watercolor poetically, “Waves sweep in roiling, tumbling, scrubbing the beach
clear to begin life anew with each passing tide, creating my ‘Blue Beach.’”
Fiber artist, Bonnie J. Smith’s work titled,
“The Team,” is based on a long, life changing project that involved team
work. She feels that it relates to the
project of becoming mayor and needing a team to make it work.
Lorraine Capperell maintains a regimen that
includes tai chi, meditation and producing a new watercolor painting each
day. Her piece for this show is titled,
“ Awakening.”
This exhibit is co-curated by Marian Yap and
Bonnie J. Smith.
