Ceclia as Frida

Cover | Ellen Heck

Ceclia as Frida, (Woodcut etching). Artist Ellen Heck created this print as part of Forty Fridas, a series of forty woodcut etchings depicting women and girls dressed up as painter/icon Frida Kahlo. This project, while in some respects a very intimate collection of personal portraits, touches more broadly on themes of identity—the multiple, individuality, and variation. Heck’s work is represented by Kala Art Institute, 2990 San Pablo Ave., in Berkeley. For more info, or to make an appointment, contact Andrea Voinot at 510-841-7000, ext. 206, or Andrea@Kala.org. View Heck’s new work at EllenHeck.com.

In the Philanthropic Swim

In the Philanthropic Swim

Rockridge residents John Bliss and Kim Thompson may live far removed the gritty flats of East and West Oakland. But this philanthropic couple see themselves as one with the citizens of Oakland, particularly those who are struggling financially, and they’re leading a campaign to get their “financially blessed” peers to invest in the community like they have by funding city programs to teach kids how to swim.
