Selected as Plein Air Artist, Pawling, NY

Selected as Plein Air Artist, Pawling, NY
Hey all, I'm trying something new this Saturday, 6/29. I've been selected as a plein air artist for an art event and live auction in Dutchess County, NY. I'll spend the day painting outdoors in the beautiful landscape surrounding Pawling, NY, alongside 28 other plein air artists. 2 of my fresh (literally still wet) paintings will be auctioned off that evening at an event at 6 pm. All proceeds benefit the Oblong Land Conservancy. Come on out. 

Selected as Elizabeth L. Mahaffey Fellow, State of Connecticut

Selected as Elizabeth L. Mahaffey Fellow, State of Connecticut
So happy to announce that I was selected by my home State of Connecticut as a 2024 Elizabeth L. Mahaffey Arts Administrator Fellow. This fellowship provides art enrichment and professional development for mid-career art administrators. With the fellowship, I will partipicate in a week-long Art Education seminar taking place this summer within 3 beloved art institutions in New York City - the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim Museum and Museum of Modern Art. I'll spend the week learning with and from other art educators across the US as we find ways to connect contemporary art to our teaching practices and careers in the arts.  See you in NYC! 

Works on display at Hill-Stead Museum Shop

Support artists and shop local! Happy to share that a selection of my small plein-air works are on view and for sale through September at the Hill-Stead Museum shop. It's a lovely place with lovely people working there. The grounds (free to visit) are also just perfect for a summer stroll.

Wish me luck, followers. I've been on a Sunday painting habit and have yet to break my streak the last month. It is my hope that I'll have an opportunity to exhibit what I create in this series.

River Valley Artists Tour - October 8-10, 2022

I've been taking advantage of the long summer days to paint outdoors in the lower Connecticut River Valley. Sometimes, life brings me further afield, and this summer I've also had painting sessions in the North Fork of Long Island and Iceland! All of the oil paintings I create in the next 2 months will be on view and for sale in the Connecticut River Valley Artists Tour, taking place October 8, 9 and 10 from 10-5 PM. My work will be hanging at the Essex Art Assocation in lovely Essex, CT. Details and a brochure will be published in coming weeks.
