The show opens March 25 2023 and runs through April 23. Opening Reception (see you there!) from 6 – 9 PM…
The tale of a stretcher
This will probably be a long drawn out shaggy dog (because cats aren’t shaggy) story but bear with me. I was reorganizing my studio, trying to improve my storage situation. These days, a large painting for me is around 40 x 60 inches, the biggest size I can easily transport. When I was much younger, I worked ridiculously large – like 4 1/2 feet by…
Art Room Small Works Show, Friday Nov. 4, 2022
I love Small Works shows (and enter them whenever I can). The holiday season will usually see a number of them and it’s a great time to pick up some little – usually very affordable – pieces. If you’ve been following me on Facebook or Instagram, you’ve seen lots of my cat-related art. Now’s your chance to add one to your collection! I’ve got three…
Fall 2022 art happenings
I’m in a few more shows this fall – very exciting! Fort Worth Biennial 2022 at Arts Fort Worth The outbreak of Covid put the kibosh on the previous Biennial. Of the three pieces I entered for this year’s Fort Worth Biennial, I was especially happy the juror, Lilia Kudili, chose “Programming Man.” It’s a big painting and has almost everyone of my favorite things…

Closer to home, Texas Artists Coalition’s upcoming exhibit, 2.62 Persons: A House; A Home; A Statistic; A Family will include three of my paintings. To say I was shocked all…

Spring 2021 Shows
As we slowly, carefully ease out of Covid-19 restrictions, I’ll be in several shows this spring. Most of these will have some sort of measures in place (social distancing, limits on the number of visitors, etc.) but *will be* in person, not virtual, events. 2021 TAC Small Works Show I have two small (obviously!) pieces in this show, both little cat paintings. Now through April…
