New Work for Enormous Tiny Art Show

"you'll never know"

"if only"

"petaling"

"born new"

"onliest"

I will have 12 paintings in the September Enormous Tiny Art Show in Portsmouth, NH. I love this show because, as you know, I like "small" and none of the paintings in this show are over 10" x 10". They always have a great mix of artists too. I am honored to be a part of this show again.

I painted 5 new pieces for the show. I loved working with just white for my exotic wood pieces so I wanted to continue that. But I decided to add some really bold colors and...my creatures are back. I missed them...just a little.

Also my dear friend Cathy Nichols' gorgeous work is in this show and my new e-friend Laura Berger too. Please look online at their beautiful work in this show.

If you live in the Portsmouth area be sure to check out the show. I would love to go but we are too far away. You can check out all of the work is online here.

The show opens September 1st and runs through September 27th. The opening reception is Friday, September 3rd from 5-8 p.m.

Two New Galleries

I am pleased to announce that my prints are now sold at Elementality located in the Asheville Mall and Art & Soul Marketplace in Brevard, NC. Both are great stores so please check them out if you live in the area.

It has been extremely HOT here in Asheville and I find myself wishing for Fall to come. I love summer and it is by far my favorite season but this summer has been brutal. We don't have air conditioning in our house. I've never been a big fan of it but I would have definitely used it in the last couple of months. So do you hear that Fall? I'm ready. As I'm sure a lot of you are too.

Have a good weekend!

My Work in Artful Blogging Magazine

A few months ago I was asked to write an article for Artful Blogging Magazine and I just got my copy today. My work is featured over 3 spreads and it looks really great. My image "baby mine" is also on the cover (upper right). I'm so happy with the way it looks. I had never really looked at this magazine but I must say it's gorgeous. Beautifully printed. And I should know because print production was my career for many years. I know that Barnes & Noble carries this magazine and probably Border's too. Please check it out next time you are in a book store.

T-Shirts!!

"rooted"

"why not me?"

I’m so excited to release these limited edition t-shirts. Both shirts are from Alternative Apparel and are made out of very soft organic cotton. The silk screened images are hand-pulled locally in Asheville, NC. The fabric is very light and comfy which is perfect for the summer. I’ve been wearing mine all weekend because it is HOT here. And the scoop neck on the t’s is very flattering. I’m starting with just women’s shirts but plan to do men’s shirts eventually.

The image on the blue (Earth Ocean) shirt is titled “rooted” and the image on the green (Earth Green) shirt is titled “why not me?” The green shirt is screened in 2 locations. Look closely for the lonely creature at the bottom. The shirts come in S, M, L & XL and $28.00 each.
