Signature Member NWS

It was a busy opening at the National Watercolor Society's Gallery in San Pedro, CA. I am so proud of my new status as a "Signature Member" of such an accomplished group of artists.

President, Ken Goldman announced the award winners. Here I am when it was my turn to accept the Combined Donors Cash Award and M. Graham Merchandise Award for Hidden Bridge.

I was excited to share the day with my good friend from girl scouts, elementary and high school in Cincinnati.

ARTISTIC VISION

COAST MAGAZINE DECEMBER ISSUE

Thank you to the editor and Sam Dunn 
for choosing me to be the 
December 2015 Artistic Vision. 

Last Tree in the City was finalized after visiting a local horse stable. It was shocking to find stately oak trees being uprooted, barns leveled and arenas removed. Nearby, earth movers noisily roamed the dusty hillsides of the rapidly disappearing tree shaded land. Disappearing open space is a well-known theme as cities reach farther out to accommodate growing populations.

WINNER - Artist's Magazine

32nd Annual Art Competition

Juror for the Abstract/Experimental category, Betsy Dillard Stroud, said this about the entries she juried. "How far will these outstanding artists travel and where will they go? I can hardly wait to see." And, I too can hardly wait.  Each day I jump out of bed with excitement, anxious to continue my painting journey.
