Happy Spring Everyone! 
The long winter is finally over and i have a batch of hot spring shows in the works - from gallery shows at JAM Gallery, The Art Trust and Wayne Art Center to special annual juried shows like the Historic Yellow Springs Art Show and the Chester County Studio Tour.

In addition, one of my works just won an award at The Five Bs (Birds, Bees, Butterflies, Bats and Bugs) at the Wayne Art Center in Wayne PA, which opens THIS SUNDAY. There will be an awards ceremony and reception from 3-5 PM TODAY Sunday, March 29. I was told my artwork "Fireflight II" won an award though I won't know which award it is until today during the awards ceremony. I also have two other pieces in the show, which runs through May 2. I hope to see you there.

SAVE THE DATE: 
CHESTER COUNTY STUDIO TOUR!

For the past two years I have taken part in the wonderfulChester County Studio Tour as a guest artist at Monique Kendikian Sarkessian's lovely studio and home. This year, Monique has decided to be a guest artist another studio so I'll be changing venues and will be hosted by artist Jennifer Domal at her home studio in West Chester. Jennifer is an amazing artist who makes fantastic acid-etched and inked pysanky eggs in addition to intricate abstract pattern works. So save the date forMay 16-17 and bookmark Jennifer's studio location in West Chester, PA.. We will also be serving lots of yummy goodies for all of our guests in a fun, relaxed atmosphere so if you were very curious about my art or process or just want to see my work in person or buy yourself the gift of original art, you should come out.



This year there are 100 artists and 48 studiosparticipating in the tour which takes place at artists homes and studios all across Chester County Pennsylvania. If you have never gone, it's a great way to get up close and personal with artists and their art, while informally touring their studio space and getting to purchase all kinds of art in a wide variety of price ranges.Here is a driving map to show you how to get to all the different studio locations.

I will be also sending out postcard reminders for the show for those of you who have added your mailing addresses to my mailing list and live within driving distance to the tour. If you have not done so already, please update your mailing list information so I have your address if you would like to receive a postcard reminder.

Another benefit of the tour is each artist is offering a"County Collector" which is a special 6x6 inch artwork available for purchase for 75 dollars. Each artist has only ONE of these collectible pieces and when this idea debuted last year there were lines outside some of the artists' studio doors before the show opened so people could get first crack at them. The County Collectors are only available for this special price the weekend of the tour.Below are photos of my County Collector piece (and the Chester County Studio Tour website will be posting images of all the artists pieces in the weeks leading up to the tour so you can see what will be available).

6 x 6 inches, mixed media on hardboard
