From the organizers: Betsy Konrad, the acclaimed San Diego abstract artist whose work has been featured in in New York galleries, has a new show next month in La Jolla. The show is scheduled for May 12, and will be hosted at Dunia’s Hair Lounge, 1110 Torrey Pines Road, Suite E, in La Jolla. The show, which runs from 6-10 p.m., is free to the public. The renowned French Gourmet of Pacific Beach will cater the event with complimentary food, along with wine and beverages. Konrad is a former foreign policy and national security expert and consultant whose work included time in the White House. She retired due to medical conditions, then turned her focus to the arts. She has since found her passion for painting and became a full-time abstract artist who has quickly found critical and commercial success. “It’s only as the paint and my brush flow that I find the direction I’m heading -- which goes with my wanderlust personality,” Konrad said. “I’ve traveled a lot and have found that my best adventures and experiences were when I was ‘lost or didn’t have a plan.’ ” 
Konrad’s website, which features numerous examples of her work and details of her extraordinary life, is www.betsykonrad.com.

2023 Mother’s Day Weekend Art, Garden & Studio Tour Saturday and Sunday, May 13 and 14, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. The San Dieguito Art Guild, a non-profit group, hosts their 26th annual Mother’s Day Weekend Art, Garden & Studio Tour. This is a self-guided, driving tour on Saturday and Sunday, Mother’s Day weekend, May 13 and 14, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Tickets are good for both days and homes may be re-visited. Take your mom or best friends on a leisurely tour of the 8 North San Diego County homes where you can peruse more than 30 unique exhibits of locally made art, and relax in each unique coastal or inland garden. Artists from the San Dieguito Art Guild will be positioned in the gardens — showing and selling their paintings, ceramics, glass, gourd art, fiber arts, photography, jewelry, and much more. Free refreshments will be served at every stop. The tour includes an eclectic group of homes, gardens, and art studios. The tour will include a visit to the art studio of a watercolor artist/instructor, a stained-glass gate salvaged from a nearby property that was being torn down, and outdoor kitchen, a succulent maze, a large metal sculpture by Ricardo Breceda, vegetable garden beds, an extensive vineyard, and a variety of native and drought resistant plantings.. This two-day event is the major fund-raiser of the year for the San Dieguito Art Guild. Without funds from this tour the Guild would operate at a loss. Tickets are $35 per person and may be purchased at the Off Track Gallery (937 South Coast Highway 101, Suite C-103, Encinitas), at OffTrackGallery.com, or at each home both days of the tour. Ticket sales begin in early April. Children 17 and under are free. This is a favorite tour of many San Diegans — many of whom take this tour year after year. In keeping with their Mission Statement, “The San Dieguito Art Guild is an organization dedicated to furthering artistic understanding and fostering artistic growth of members and the community at large by promoting interest, education, knowledge and skills in the visual arts”, 10% of the net proceeds from the tour will be awarded to several promising art students from MiraCosta College.
