She opened her first Art Gallery in Silverlake , an artist-heavy neighborhood of LA. It was called the “Best New Art Gallery In LA” by the wonderful people who read the New Times. It specialized in fine art, crafts, experimental music, independent film and the occasional puppet making class or fashion show, among other events.
