Dear ,

2019 is getting off to a great start! With so much happening, in creation and in the works, I'm not going to write anything more but scroll down, read between the lines and find something that you LOVE or would LOVE to attend! Thank you as always, for your support.

Creatively,

Opening at Bethlehem House 2/8

Please join me on Friday, February 9th from 6 - 9pm in Bethlehem, PA, for the opening of the 3rd Annual Juried Show: Mixed Media at Bethlehem House Contemporary Art Gallery. There will be a reveal of the exhibit, light fare, refreshments and three acoustic acts. Awards will also be named during the reception. #BHGJuriedShow

"Homage to Julia" in the Shop

I'm in love with this new grouping in my dining room - oh so blue! I popped "Homage to Julia" on the wall to shoot some photos and there she will stay - until someone purchases her - alongside my painting of my street, across from my husband's grandmother.

I have more detail shots in my online print shop - with two stretcher depths available. "Homage to Julia" is a 14" x 14" giclée printed on stretched canvas in a limited edition of 75. Some have sold over the years, but I'm now offering them exclusively in my shop.

You can read more about this painting in the shop description and invite Julia into your own home by purchasing her.

If you already own a print of "Homage to Julia", please share a photo of it in your home, either on social media with #homagetojulia, or send me an email so I can share it.

Upcoming Studio Sale!

I've been cleaning out my studio and making some small adjustments to create SPACE - both physical and mental. I have a beautiful studio, but I've been working in it for over 5 years and it's starting to feel stale. My intention is to repaint the beige walls to white, rebuild my desk area and paint my display wall a different color. BUT, I NEED YOUR HELP! I have a lot of unsold work that needs to move. In the next couple of weeks I'm going to be offering a Studio Sale - so keep your eye on your email. This will be a good one - not often offered. There will be opportunities to buy online, as well as in person if you're local.

Email subscribers will learn FIRST! If you know anyone admiring my work, please invite them to subscribe!

What I'm Working On Now

I've been commissioned to paint four portraits of five very special dogs. On the left is a preliminary sketch of one of the dogs - I'm still gaining approval and working out details from my client, but you'll be able to watch it's progress on Instagram and Facebook.

I've also begun to work on my TeaScapes again - on the right is a shot of one of them in-progress. Keep on watching on Instagram and Facebook!
