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!

Are you a creative who cares about living in a democracy?
Creatives are gathering in Little Rock on Friday, October 2 from 5:30-7:00 pm to make an inaugural zine, “Hissy Fit.” Join us for an evening of making - it can be a poem, journal-style thoughts jotted down, a collage, a drawing, a print -whatever you want to make to express your experience in southern culture during these turbulent political times. We will compile the zine and each participant will be contacted to pick up their copy soon after the event.

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.

Big News - The “Joyful Painting in France” Retreat is finalized!
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 though the end of October, when they will ship to Harbour Island for the season opening exhibition at Princess Street Gallery.
