Winter, 2011

I am very happy to announce that one of the three colored pencil pieces juried in to the 2011 Miniature Painters, Sculptors, & Gravers Society of Washington D.C.'s 78th Annual International Exhibition of Fine Art in Miniature was awarded first place in the Drawing category! This was the frst time I'd entered this prestigious national show, so I am thrilled! The show will be on view at the Mansion at Strathmore, 10701 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD, through December 30. If you've never seen a miniature show before, I strongly urge you to visit this one -- you'll find hundreds of lovely, small works in a wide variety of media and some truly extraordinary (and affordable!) little gems.

Other good news: I've had two pastels juried into the International Association of Pastel Society's 2011 On-Line Exhibition. This was the first time I've entered that show, and I am pretty much awestruck at the caliber of work I'm lucky enough to be keeping company with. Click here to see the show...it's an excellent showcase of pastel's potential.

I'm one of seven artists currently exhibiting at the Dennis and Phillip Ratner Museum in a show called "Inner and Outer Journeys." The seven of us are Jacquelyn Dinora, Christine Lashley, Sue Fleming Moses, Grace Peterson, Andi Seals, Mary Anne Warner, and me, and we work in a wide variety of media. This show is coming down on Wednesday, December 27, so get to Bethesda soon if you want to see it!
