Busy Week!

Our show "Wild Together" is up and running at the Artists' Gallery in Lambertville, NJ. We had a busy opening last Saturday, it was really nice to meet new people as well as seeing familiar faces!

I also participated in the local Teen Arts Festival Tues. and Wed., which was a relaxing day for students to mingle with students from other schools in the district, and try out various arts mediums. They also get a chance to show what they have been working on throughout the year; there is an art exhibit tent, theater/dance shows and music showcased during the 2 days.

I have donated "Jacobin," for a fundraiser this coming Sat. "Arts & Music 4 Haiti", a concert and art auction, at Rago Arts and Auction Center in Lambertville, NJ. (7:30 to midnight) to benefit The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. I have a fondness for the Caribbean islands, and am happy to donate a piece for this very good cause.

Next event to look forward to is our "Coffee and Conversation" which is part of "Wild Together" exhibit, and happens on Sun. May 30th!

"Red Flyer"

With a chill in the spring air, I thought I'd post a painting that I had done this winter. It was a snowy few weeks that inspired me to create this piece. I entitled it "Red Flyer" because I remember how much fun it was gliding over the snow in our red flyer sleds ... although as kids, we weren't nearly as graceful!

One week to go!

I'm excited to be working on the final touches for "Wild Together" which opens next Friday. I know it will be a fantastic collaboration between my watercolor animal art, and my friend Paul's nature photography, I can't wait to see the "wild" exhibit.

My collection features paintings that have inspired me from our local area of NJ/PA, also the Jersey shore and from my trips to Trinidad.

This painting “Sounds of Summer” was inspired by a trip to Cape May last year. It reminded me of my youth when we fed the Gulls and from one toss of food we were surrounded by 20 or more Gulls!

"Potsticker"

May is rapidly approaching, and the opening of the "Wild Together" exhibit is coming quickly, along with new paintings, framing and PR/mailings for the show. I'm also getting some new giclée prints ready, I've just finished new print that I hope you'll enjoy, the original was inspired by several trips to the south, Florida was one of those family trips we would take as kids. We would spend 2 days getting to what was then an exotic location. Cool little lizards darting about everywhere and we were totally fascinated that they could just climb on every surface! And, as with most kids, we loved to try and catch them (mostly with no luck!). As in all my paintings, there is some personal connection that I have with my subject matter, and this little guy was one that reminded me of how they showed themselves to us, almost daring us to try and catch them, only to dart off the minute our eyes fixed on them.
