LAMBERTVILLE, NJ— "Watermarks," a duo exhibit I'm having at Artists' Gallery with artist Carol Sanzalone, is up and running. This show features new watercolor paintings by both of us.

The exhibit started on September 10, and our opening reception on September 12th was rainy, but we had a great turn out. Some paintings have already been purchased! The show will remain on view until October 4th, where we will host a "coffee and conversation" end of show event.

August 28: The Grand Opening and Premiere of the Society of Animal Artists Exhibit begins today at the Roger Tory Peterson Institute in Jamestown, NY. 

I am, unfortunately, not able to attend the opening of what is always a wonderful event! But am most pleased to have my painting "Through the Shoals" selected for inclusion among this prestigious group of international animal artists' work in such a wonderful venue.

This piece represents so much of the last ten years of my life; starting with the Don Eckelberry Award, from the Society of Animal Artists (SAA), sponsoring my first of many visits to Trinidad & Tobago (home and inspiration of these lovely flamingos), to years later, when these same birds took on additional symbolism for me after successful breast cancer treatment — with their pink ribbon-like necks — to the present, having this painting exhibiting with group that started off this emotional, wonderful, crazy, life affirming, ten year roller coaster ride.

August 22: Opening reception at New Hope Arts in PA, and it seemed fun was had by all. I think there were about 100 different paintings, sculptures, digital and photographic works of all kinds—something for everyone. I had a nice time talking to fellow artists and collectors alike, and had the nice surprise of winning the award for "Works on Paper" for my painting "Surveyor".  The juror for the exhibit was Rodger LaPelle of Rodger LaPelle Gallery in Philadelphia's Old City.

Now my focus is back on my "Watermarks" a duo exhibit across the river  in Lambertville, NJ opening September 10... which will showcase quite a few new works. Please click here for details.

Onward!

After the disappointment of our "Art Melange" show being canceled, I've refocused and have been busy getting paintings ready for "Watermarks" a show that opens September 10 at Artists' Gallery in Lambertville. This will be the first showing for quite a bit of new work which I'm looking forward to showing.

I've also shipped two paintings to two different international juried shows which I'm proud of, one for the Artists for Conservation exhibit in Vancouver Canada ("Twist")— the other for the Society of Animal Artists in Jamestown NY ("Through the Shoals").

Beyond that I'm participating in the New Hope Arts member show in New Hope PA, starting August 22nd. A small group exhibit at Princeton Brain Spine, in Princeton, NJ, as well as giving a workshop in October. Then getting ready for the Artists' Gallery Winter exhibit! I have to say I love being this busy and involved with all these wonderful activities. I hope to see you at one or more of these venues. I will be posting more images and information on these and other events soon!

News: August "art melange" Exhibit Canceled

With less than two weeks to go, we received notification that our exhibit space has been shut down and the show has been canceled. As you can imagine, all involved are extremely disappointed! We hope that there will be an opportunity to regroup in the future, but there was simply not enough time to find a new location.

Please keep in mind that I do have another exhibit in September which I'm looking forward to, and hope to see you then. Please click here for information.

Art Melange in August

I'm looking forward to my upcoming two weekend long group exhibit, "Art Melange", which was conceived and created by five artists from Bucks and Hunterdon Counties.

"art melange"

Opening Reception:  Friday, August 7: 6 to 9 pm

Saturday, August 8, 11 am to 7 pm /  Sunday, August 9, 11 am to 5 pm 

Saturday, August 15, 11 am to 7 pm /  Sunday, August 16, 11 am to 5 pm

Rolling Green Farm,
202 & Aquetong Rd, New Hope, PA 

Art Melange focuses on how the elements of abstraction and reality in the natural world merge as conceived by five nationally collected artists who live and work in the Bucks and Hunterdon County area. Artists Beatrice Bork, Paul Grecian and Materese Roche all work in highly realistic styles, yet abstract elements play a vital role in their interpretations; taking their work beyond mere physical representation into a realm that engages the viewer on more intimate and compelling levels. Florence Moonan is a purely abstract artist and provides a dynamic counterpoint. Guenter Bork works in metal jewelry design and his work is influenced by the abstract elements of tribal cultures.
