Now our 80’s book is out!
I highly recommend these books as a window into the wide range of expression emerging out of each decade.
Go to the BAWA website to order books.
The 70’s book is out! Both books can be purchased through the BAWA website.
Wow – what an amazing group of women! This is a great snapshot into the 70’s art world in the Bay Area.

Our First Book in 2020:
We’ve published our first book! This book contains a double page spread for each artist. We began this project in response to the low percentage of representation of women artists in museums and galleries. We took matters into our own hands to document our existence. This book is the first of five, the next book will be on the 70’s, the one after that on the 80’s, and so on! So eventually you will be able to see the work of these women artists over five decades. I’m deeply honored to share this book with so many dedicated, talented, accomplished women!
It’s important to note that these books are not definitive. We are a very small group of artists and this is not the full picture of what was happening during the past several decades. This is us, and what we were doing. There were many other women making art during these decades, and they deserve to be researched and known! We’ve offered to support other women in creating their own records, and we hope to see these manifesting soon.

Dusty Vaughn, Rim Fire, 2013
The focus on the Tuolumne River ecosystem is heightened by the recent events of the Rim Fire that tore through the watershed in and around Yosemite. This river provides much of Tuolumne County and the City of San Francisco, totally 3 million water users. Wholly H2O has assembled a provocative group of 15 artists working to address the environmental issues surrounding this interrelationship.
Presenting works in a variety of media, the show Standing with the Watershed opens in the RIM: River in Motion Ceneter on Saturday, March 15th. The artists share their interpretations and experiences defined by the nature-urban interface and the dynamic transformative element of wildfire that brings the tension in this relationship to the fore. Both the physicality of the Tuolumne River Watershed and the use of these waters in Tuolumne County and San Francisco are the launching points for all of the artists’ work. Grappling with the dynamic and unpredictable variables of ‘natural disasters’ provokes a corresponding response exhibited in the paintings, photographs and installations on view in the gallery.

The exhibit aims to expose the energy and vitality of this watershed and water system before, during and after the Rim Fire. The stories and impressions exhibited use the Fire as a point of reference but extend deeper into the human relationship with this watershed and the causal relationships behind environmental disasters. The show is inspired at times by the tragic beauty of the natural landscape engulfed in flames and its people reeling in the fire’s path and aftermath. Other moments the show draw us in to the urban side of the water system sharing impressions where this water is used by 2.5 million of the urban residents in the Bay Area.
“Standing with the Watershed” at RIM Center offers a new perspective in our series of exhibitions in the space that strive to reinterpret the modern urban condition and redefine our relationship with nature.
The curators for this show are Elizabeth Dougherty, Wholly H2O, together with Lauren Elder, instructor at CCA, WEAD Board of Directors.
