Reflecting on the spring Artist Residency and Exhibition in Madrid, Spain
I had the great privilege of participating in the Very Private Gallery artist residency this past spring. Located in the art-rich city of Madrid, the residency included visiting multiple art fairs, meeting gallery owners, and one-on-one coaching while developing a body of work for exhibit at the end of the program. I would like to thank Mo Li and Greg Bot, who run this transformative program, for sharing their knowledge, ideas, experience and connections. I feel like I completed a year (or two!) of grad school in 6 weeks after the intense and beneficial experience.
New work headed to Princess Street Gallery!
New paintings are now in route for the season opening at Princess Street Gallery. If you visit Harbour Island, Bahamas, be sure to stop by the gallery. It is chock full of beautiful things!
Art Week 2025 in Montana is a wrap!
What a honor and pleasure it was to attend a week of creative collaboration in McLeod, MT in September. I am grateful to our hosts and all the artists who operate from a place of uplift and generosity. The week, the lessons, the conversations, and the time in nature is transformative and I am deeply grateful for every minute.

What student’s are saying: “I would most certainly recommend the class to a friend. I loved it. So many important lessons ! You’re an encouraging and patient teacher, offering critical tips and advice to a novice or experienced artist. Your voice and manner are so pleasant and calming, and your enthusiasm is palpable. I loved every second.” -Alex

Thank you to all who attended the 2025 workshops!
The single component that each successful workshop has in common, is having kind, creative, and fun participants, which was certainly the case in “The Joy of Drawing and Painting in Coastal Canada,” “Language of the Heart at Zig Zag Studio” and the “The Joy of the Drawing at Rockwater Marina” workshops. I am so grateful to have spent time with each student. Thank you!

Group exhibit at Justus Fine Art in Hot Springs, AR
I was delighted to particpate in the fall group exhibit at Justus Fine Art. The theme was “barns” and artist were invited to submit work that used the theme to apply to their own practice and style - possibly beyond a realistic interpretation of barns. Below is one of my final pieces along with several studies. I do love constraints and appreciate owner, Dolores Justus, for the invigorating prompt and beautiful exhibit.
