Hi everyone,

    Thanks for visiting my website during this busy summer.  I just returned from two shows in Colorado and am getting ready for another show at Maryhill Museum on August 16th and 17th.  Colorado was beautiful and it was great seeing all of my artist friends from around the country.  They all do such beautiful work.

    I also have 3 collage pieces in a show at Columbia Center for the arts in Hood River, Oregon.  The show is titled "Inspirations" and was curated by Debra Jones and Heather Marlow who did an excellent job. "Inspirations" will be up until the end of the month.  I also am in a show at the Ryan Gallery in Lincoln City, Oregon.  You’ll find some great watercolors and acrylics there all month and more throughout the year.  We had a great opening day celebration with lots and lots of people there to see the work.

    I’m excited about Labor Day Weekend.  I’ll be heading down to California to do the King’s Mountain Art Fair August 30th, 31st and September 1st in the redwoods.  What a wonderful location and it’s a high quality show.  Any of you in California should take the weekend to come on up.  The website for King’s Mountain is www.kingsmountainartfair.org. 

    Other plans are being made.  I’ll be leaving for Cancun for a week in October and then in November on the 1st and 2nd Ron Fenter and I will be having our studio sale at 210 NE Fargo in Portland.  Just e-mail me for more information about that.

    More good news is that I will be back at the Attic Gallery in downtown Portland with a group show in December.  I hope you will all try to come. I will have both watercolors and acrylic paintings.

    The biggest news of all is my 2009 Art in Mexico Workshop and Retreat set for April 18th to April 25th of 2009.  Our class will be delving into Magical Realism using lots of different media.  Look for the flyer on this website. 

    Hope you all have had a wonderful summer and are busy doing or buying art!
