Bernadette DiPietro: Reflections

As the Second Saturday OSA tour approaches my mind carries me back to our first tour in 1984. It was an exciting moment when Gayel Childress and Marta Nelson visited my studio and invited me to be a part of The Ojai Studio Artists.

In the forty years as a member I have held the position as president for three years and Historian for thirty years. It's been a blessing living in Ojai since 1971 as an artist and working with exceptional artists.

As an interdisciplinary artist my work has changed volumes over the years. My studio is now located in downtown Ojai at 204 West Aliso Street and I look forward to meeting you on May 11, 2024. I will be there from 10 am to 5 pm. If you are unable to make it, just sent me an e-mail at bamboocottagestudio@yahoo.com to set up a convenient time to view my artwork.
