The Authentic Self art classes in Little Rock
Thank you for all who attended the Drawing as Meditation workshop in August and the Creative College workshop in September at the fabulous Esse Purse Museum in downtown Little Rock. It was a joy to partner with the Authentic Self program which is bringing all kinds of classes centered around learning and personal growth to the community.

Partnering with: Shop Simple Designs
Starting in September, I will work with the Little Rock furniture and design store, Shop Simple Designs, on a display of paintings that will rotate once a month. First up - figures and faces. Please stop by (2400 Cantrell Rd. in the old Cajun’s Wharf) if you’d like to see the work, and let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!
New work has finally arrived at Princess Street Gallery!
After a nerve-wracking shipping delay, new paintings are safe and sound. If you visit Harbour Island, Bahamas, be sure to stop by the gallery. It is chock full of beautiful things!
Are you a creative who cares about living in a democracy?
Thank you to all the creatives who gathered in Little Rock on Friday, October 2 to make an inaugural zine, “Hissy Fit.” We will announce here when the Zine is ready for distribution - it will be full of poems, collage, prints, drawing - all kinds of art to express solidarity in our community of people who believe in democracy.
This event was part of Fall of Freedom , a national organization building creative resistance. The mission is to counter fascist repression and censorship with joyful communities of defiant creativity.
The summer travel workshop whirlwind has wrapped!
I won’t list here all the stops along the long road trip. Let’s just say my car has an extra 5000+ miles on it. Thank you to all the wonderful people I met and to the students who attended the three workshops - one in Toronto, one in St. Andrews, and one on Cape Cod.

Registration for the “Joyful Painting in France” Retreat is now open!
In September of 2027, I’m partnering with the travel art professionals at Uptrek on an incredible painting retreat opportunity. Registration is now open! Click here for a sneak peek of all the dreamy details. Even though it seems far away, we will be painting in France before we know it!
Thank you Justus Fine Art Gallery
I am delighted to exhibit a new group of paintings at Justus Fine Art in Hot Springs, AR this summer. The group, titled “Night Shift” is about returning to places from childhood and observing scenes in the dark of night. While night obscures so much color and detail, what is highlighted - by natural or artificial light - can somehow feel even more striking than what we see during the day. To read the artist statement for this group of paintings, click here.
This group of paintings is available at Justus Fine Art through the end of October.
