This May

It's my first First Friday as a solo artist at 311 Gallery!  Still located in Studio 6 (formerly Tipping Paint Gallery), my new exhibition area gives me the opportunity to have more of my work on display and available for sale at the gallery.  I hope to see you there on First Friday, May 4, 6-9 pm.

This June

• My dual exhibit at the Clayton Center, sponsored by Clayton Visual Arts, opens June 1!  I will be exhibiting my current silk paintings there through the month of June.  There will be a Meet the Artist Reception on Thurs., June 7, 6-7:30 pm.  Join us!
• I'm excited to be painting on sight in the VIP Artist Village again at the 2018 Band Together Main Event held at Red Hat Amphitheater.  It will be my 4th year participating. This year's event is on Sat. June 23, with the headlining band Walk the Moon.  All proceeds, including auction of my completed painting, benefit BT's 2018 partner, Triangle Family Services.  Get your tix!
• I will have new work exhibited in my space at 311 Gallery through June.  First Friday, June 1, 6-9pm is a great time to come out!  ​
