Studio Casa Perla becomes Galería Las Tunas

Coming Soon! Studio Casa Perla began as a place to paint, experiment, teach and share art in 2019. Over the years, it has welcomed collectors, visitors, students and friends through its doors. And somewhere along the way, the paintings began to grow.

Quite literally.

Larger canvases began filling the walls. Commissions became more ambitious. My own work continued to evolve, inspired by the extraordinary light, color and open landscapes of Baja California Sur.

And as the paintings grew, the vision grew with them.

This season marks a new chapter: Studio Casa Perla becomes Galería Las Tunas, in the fall of 2026.

The new Galería reflects a more focused direction for my work. There is a growing emphasis on large-scale original paintings, commissioned pieces and artwork created for distinctive homes and spaces.

At the same time, this new chapter allows me to explore something I have wanted to do for some time: thoughtfully introduce the work of a small number of invited artists.

Galería Las Tunas will remain intentionally curated. Alongside my own paintings, selected works will share a connection to nature, beauty and a strong sense of place. Inspiration may come from the ocean, desert, flora, wildlife and the remarkable atmosphere of Baja.

A New Name, With a Familiar Spirit

While the name is changing, the spirit of Studio Casa Perla isn’t disappearing.

The joy of gathering around a table and picking up mark-making tools and paint remains very close to my heart. There is something wonderful about simply discovering what happens when we give ourselves permission to create—without judgement or perfection.

So, our fun and popular two-hour Abstract Art experience will continue this winter, with Sunday classes at the Studio. No previous painting experience is necessary—just curiosity and a willingness to play.

If you’re visiting Todos Santos this season, perhaps you’d like to spend a couple of creative hours painting with me. I would love to welcome you.

As Galería Las Tunas begins this new chapter, in the fall of 2026, I look forward to sharing new paintings and introducing visiting artists. There will also be special gatherings and, of course, the continued evolution of this little place devoted to expressive art.

You are warmly invited to come in, look around and experience the work in person.
