Art I'm Making: Art Trails 2025

Today, Sunday, October 19* is the last day of the Art Trails 2025 open studios event. The weather's fine. A great day for visits to local artists. 

Here's a recent collage: Untitled Collage No. 313 (Santa Rosa). June 9, 2025. Acrylic on paper, acrylic monotype, fabric (book cover fragment), collage. Image size 27.0cm x 18.8cm (10.6in x 7.4in). Matted to 20 x 16 inches. Signed on the mat. Signed and dated on the reverse. 

Today is your chance to come see this and other work in person, but, for more of my abstract monotype collage work, visit my website at http://ctalcroft.wix.com/collage-site/ or you can purchase my recently published book commemorating ten years of working in the collage medium – Colin Talcroft: Abstract Monotype Collage: 2103–2023 (ISBN 979-8-218-37717-5). Available on the website.

Elsewhere, my work can be seen at Calabi Gallery in Santa Rosa, Hammerfriar Gallery in Healdsburg, and at the Ren Brown Collection in Bodega Bay or in my studio by appointment. Sadly, however, Calabi Gallery is closing (although it will maintain an online presence)– a great loss for Santa Rosa and Sonoma County. Note also that the Ren Brown collection is closed through the end of next week as Ren is in Japan at the moment.
