Exhibit at Athan's Bakery in Brighton MA

Inseperable Companions is the name of the SOLO show that will have over 30 pieces of my work on display. Located in Brighton Center, Athan's is a cozy cafe, air conditioned and a great meeting place for those who want to take a moment out of their day for some sweets or coffee. The exhibit runs from now until the end of August with a reception on July 28th from 7-8:30pm. I really hope you can make it down!!!

A Solo Show at the Faneuil Library in Brighton MA

How do I explain how excited I was to read the email sent last month from John Quatrale asking me if I would like to have a solo show at the Brighton Faneuil Library?

Very excited. I will be showing 12 watercolors and 2 oils, including the one above of Luna. This is a very last minute thing and though the library isn't huge, a show is a show and this will be my first ever solo one. When we installed the paintings last Tuesday, John informed me that he listed it as more of an artist 'talk' and that I should be prepared to say a few things and answer some questions. Good Lord, I'm hoping that they'll let me serve some wine!

The Faneuil Library is located at 419 Faneuil Street, Brighton MA (Oak Square).

The show is up from July 18 through September 7, 2012.

Reception July 24 6:30-8

Hope to see you there :)

SPRING!!

"Birthday Echo" 8x10 watercolor & colored pencil

After all that rain, and then the heat New England is in a spring bliss. Blossoms and bees and birds are milling about causing all sorts of .... Allergies! *AcHooo!*

I spent this weekend painting my living room, so I really have nothing too creative to report. This week I will try to get a news letter out. I have one show booked for July ( although, I'm not 100% committed as I have not yet received my acceptance letter). I passed on the Topsfield Strawberry Fest and I'm out of town this year on the weekend of Scituate Heritage Daze. I find that a lot of these shows are becoming more and more "crafty" and less "arty" so I think I'm going to have to find some new ways to show my work. Let me know if you have an event that you think isn't worth passing up. I'm always looking for "new eyes" to my work.
