News:

The March weather in Denver is the wettest of the year. It's perfectly normal to get snow during the month and we have had 9 and 4 inches of snow in the last 10 days. It's nice to be painting fall and spring in the studio and see a stark winter landscape with the bright blue skies outside. Soon the studio windows will be open...ahhhh!

I just finished the last of three sold out, Making it Fine Art Workshops in Boulder, CO. We hit some very high notes, learned some important new strategies for making fine art, created larger works and made learning fun! My gracious thank you to all to that attended.

Please note below: 2016 Making it Fine Art Workshops in the Denver Metro / June and two Workshops in Massachusetts in September.

At the Denver International Airport

Should you find yourself at the Denver Airport, take the time to view my work and those of my gifted Expand artists / collogues reproduced in the Main Terminal. You will see the images between the baggage claim areas and behind the car rental counters. This “Here to There” themed display was curated by the DIA Art and Culture Program. The airport desired more color in the main terminal spaces and happily, we were allowed to use it as our playground. Many thanks to my fellow artists and everyone that made this possible!
Our EXPAND artist group is comprised of five artists from the Denver metro area: Victoria EubanksJanice McDonaldCarol Ann WaughMary Williams and myself.
