July 2017

I hope you are having a great summer! I exhibit at Harbor Springs on July 4 and then head to Rowayton, CT to teach a painting workshop on July 15 & 16. I then exhibit at the CSA Show on July 26 in Frankfort, MI followed by an incredible painting workshop at the Oliver Art Center on July 27-29. August takes me to Charlevoix Waterfront Art Fair on August 12, and then of course Penrod Art Fair, here in Indianapolis, on Sept 9. I am proud to announce a show scheduled for Fall in New Harmony, Indiana at the Hoosier Salon. It will be fun and interesting as I will be showing with my Mother, Bertie David, who is an oil painter and a very well known porcelain artist and teacher. Mom and I both attended Herron School of Art roughly 20 years apart and have both had successful careers. I cannot wait to assemble our bios and About the Artist info for this exhibition. That will be big fun! (We showed together and had a very successful exhibition at the Hoosier Salon/Broad Ripple here in Indianapolis back in 2003.) I know it will be an incredible exhibition! As always, if you want to see any of my work, you are welcome to visit my studio - just send me an email to make an appointment.

I was one of 10 Indianapolis Artists selected through an application process last September to participate in the Indianapolis Arts Council’s High Art Program. The program is a partnership with Clear Channel and places art on a billboard and displays throughout Indianapolis the next calendar year. Visit the Indianapolis Arts Council’s website for location details... my art started in Greenwood on County Line Road in the Fall, then was sighted up on North Michigan Road, and after that it was spotted at 465 and 70 on the east side of town, and most recently it was spotted on the west side near Rockville Road and 465. It has gotten incredible coverage, and I will be excited to see where it shows next...

Exciting News! The second Season of HGTV’S Good Bones started in May. My paintings have been included on many of the episodes this year. Below is a photo of one that gives you an idea of what’s in store. Keep an eye out and I will be sure to make updates as the season progresses! In the meantime, be sure and visit www.hgtv.com/shows/good-bones.

I recently delivered a peony painting to the residence of the Vice President of the United States in Washington DC. I was honored as the Second Lady and Vice President Pence wanted one of my peony paintings and I coordinated the delivery with an east coast teaching trip. It was an exciting meeting!

I cannot say it enough, thanks to all who support and encourage me along this journey. Hope to see you soon!
