Following A couple of new pieces debuted at one of my shows earlier this year and I wanted to follow up on my promise to explain the concepts behind the pieces.  The last post discussed one piece within a series of four, the "Last Drop" series, while this post discusses a singular piece. "Following" is a quite literal visual representation of the "yellow brick road".  Although I'm fascinated by

Last Drop: Water A couple of new pieces debuted at one of my shows earlier this year and I wanted to follow up on my promise to explain the concepts behind the pieces.  This post will discuss the first piece, one of four, in a series that explores the subject of dwindling natural resources.  The series is actually closely related to the Focus series I completed in the past year.  In both, my

Thank you for making last night's Art Walk a success! I can't think of a better way to pass a chilly winter evening than to gather around art, beautiful clothing, wine, food and good company.  What a pleasure it was to meet so many new people!  Several folks made a special trip in to introduce themselves and chat about my work, I was able to revisit with those who I hadn't seen in awhile, and

New work at the Skinny Pancake now through January 2nd!  I added eight new pieces to my "finished" work since my last show. A "Focus" series of four prints with the addition of ink and pastel explore the minimalist line and color schemes I've been utilizing the last couple of years.  I've been working through and sketching ideas for a future series that will concentrate on excessive

November 22nd through January 3rd Just confirmed today -- I'll have mixed media work and original prints on display at the Skinny Pancake in Burlington from late November through December.  The Skinny Pancake is a locally owned and socially responsible creperie, coffee shop and fondue restaurant.  I can personally attest that the crepes are super yummy.  I'm especially excited to have a solo

Rural Vermont Card Contest I recently submitted work to Rural Vermont for their annual card contest.  The community votes for their 10 favorite pieces.  Pack-of-ten cards are created out of the 10 pieces voted in and then sold by Rural Vermont to raise funds for their non-profit organization.  Rural Vermont advocates for thriving farms and healthy communities.  They gather photos and stories

September 11th and 12th This year my work was displayed at the SEABA Office off of Flynn Avenue.  There are a handful of artists with studios off of Flynn Avenue so I was able to meet some artists and see work I had never had a chance to see before which is always a treat.  Many thanks to those who looked for my work and came out for the Art Hop!

Prints and Mixed Media Work through July I had a show at the Daily Planet through the month of July.  It was a great venue in which to show some of my larger prints.  It also gave me the opportunity to display six new pieces I finished this summer.  Thanks to everyone who came out to see the work and share drinks and appetizers.

A Celebration of Creativity & Community in the Old North End I participated in the O.N.E.'s Ramble by having my annual Y-Art Sale.  This year I set up shop in the yard of my new home on Germain Street.  A lot of my two-dimensional work was simultaneously being shown at the Daily Planet but I had a variety of prints, paintings, and mixed media work on display, as well my pottery, floor cloths and
