I am happy to share that I am one of more than 80 artists from across the country who were invited to donate a piece of their artwork to be sold in an online auction from May 10 – 15. The auction will feature art made of charcoal from the devastating wildfires in Colorado that burned more than 700,000 acres.

This year I wanted to do something special and fun for all those who have taken an interest in my art. For a limited time, November 8th through November 9th, I’ll be hosting a private online art show.

Antique Week, Fall 2019, opens tomorrow - September 21, 2019. I am happy to have sent eleven pieces to be displayed in the Loblolly Goods store at the Blue Hills venue near Round Top.

We’re about ready to turn the calendar page and I’m excited for the goings on in my little art world in the month of September.

Yappy Hour

First up is Yappy Hour from 5-8pm on September 7, 2019 at the Riverside Country Club in Grand Island. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Central Nebraska Humane Society. Photographer husband Gary and I will show side by side. Should be a fun event!

Getting ready for a show is not for the faint of heart! Sheesh! If I wore a Fitbit it would show many miles and stories climbed! Ha!. But….the finish line is in sight and I am almost ready.

I am excited to tell you about the shows and extend to you a warm welcome!

I’m thrilled to be included in the 2019 Nebraska Biennial at Gallery 1516 in Omaha with my work, “Fallow,” Oil on Linen, 18 x 24. The public opening is Friday, May 24th from 6:30 to 9:00.

Since January I have been pushing paint to create a group of paintings to show at the spring show of Antique Week near Round Top, Texas. I was invited to display my work by the very kind and talented owner of Loblolly Goods, Marc Elson.

This Friday, February 1st, 2019 is the opening for a group show at the Burkholder Project in Lincoln, Nebraska. The show is titled “Big Land, Big Sky,” and you’re invited! The opening will be from 5:30 to 8:00 pm on the 1st.

I’m happy to share that I will be leading a painting workshop on Saturday, January 19th, 2019, from 10am to 2pm at the Wild Rose Gallery in Broken Bow, Nebraska. The cost is $35 and lunch is included.

Last October I spent a few days in Mullen, Nebraska, for a painting workshop with Shanna Kunz. (Fabulous). The last morning, I got up early and went out with my camera to the place we had painted the previous afternoon - a meadow with the Middle Loup running through. I wanted to see what it was like in the morning light. It did not disappoint. The water was glittering. The air was cool and a little misty. And the sun was starting to warm everything and give it a glow.

Five artists from the Nebraska Rural Living Gallery will be showing work in a group show at the Red Cloud Opera House, November 2 - December 28, 2018.

There is a most lovely art oasis for Nebraska art in Bassett, Nebraska, thanks to vision, many hands, and a multitude of big hearted givers. The Old Feed Store Art Center opened in early 2018 with an exhibit of Joel Sartore’s “Photo Ark” in cooperation with the Museum of Nebraska Art. Since then, other Nebraska artists, musicians and poets have shown and performed in the space.
