Happy New Year!

I sell paintings and teach workshops. One leads to the other and vice versa. It keeps me current and helps keep my work fresh and evolving. I believe teaching has made me a better artist. I feel that showing, selling and teaching is a part of community and a part of giving back that is so very important.

I wrapped up a very successful year teaching over 30 workshops throughout the country. Helping over 300 students improve their drawing and painting skills was truly rewarding. For over 15 years, I have partnered with various art venues across the country to offer workshops to their membership. I feel that Visiting Artist programs really help these organizations bring new opportunities to their audience and community. This year, I was excited to add The Armory, West Palm Beach, Pacific Art League, Palo Alto and Provincetown Art Association and Museum in Cape Cod to my lineup of venues in CT, IN, FL, MA, MI and VT. I return to some venues each year and to others every few years. In some places I teach, in some places I show and in some places I do both! If you have an art association, art center or museum that you would like for me to visit, have them get in touch with me. Visit CLASSES to see the list of workshops under contract for 2025.

I also exhibit and sell paintings at my studio, at solo and one-man shows and art fairs each year. This past year officially marked 30 years exhibiting and participating at art fairs. This past year, many of my paintings found their home with new and existing clients and friends throughout the country. And one of my peony paintings was added to the Indiana Governors Residence Permanent Collection which was very exciting news! Visit SHOWS to see the list of upcoming exhibits for this year.

I look forward to this new year and seeing old friends and clients and meeting new ones along the way. Many thanks to everyone who took a workshop, bought a painting or passed my name along to a friend. I hope to see you soon!
