Solo Exhibit at The Big Picture Theater & Café!

After making the decision a year ago to take a break from showing my work I have agreed to an exhibit at The Big Picture Theater & Café for the months of April and May. None of the work is new but its good to have the last 14 remaining paintings out of storage and hung where people can view them. These paintings are the last of my Poppy series and are all for sale. If you are interesed in purchasing one please feel free to give me a call at 802.355.0073. And thank you Dottie for thinking of me. http://www.bigpicturetheater.info/

Thank You Mary!

Today I had the pleasure of meeting Mary Webb, who drove all the way from Connecticut just to buy one of my paintings. Mary chose to buy the painting "Red, Orange, Yellow" and I was so happy to be able to meet her and give the painting to her in person. I am always happily surprised when someone wants to buy my work but to have someone drive so far just to pick a painting up in person is quite humbling. It was wonderful meeting and talking with you Mary. Thank you so much and enjoy! :)

Art in the Round Barn opens with a meet-the-artists reception on September 20th

The 19th annual Art in the Round Barn exhibit opens on Sunday, September 20, with a gala reception at the Joslyn Round Barn on East Warren Road in Waitsfield, from 4 to 7 p.m., catered by Cooking from the Heart. This is an opportunity to meet many of the artists who are included in the show and to discuss with them their choices of subject matter and technique. Art in the Round Barn is a juried show with 40 artists chosen from a pool of applicants. Local artists are well represented in the show including Marilyn Ruseckas, Jennifer Perellie, Candy Barr, David and Melanie Leppla, and Mireille Clapp. Local artist John Matusz, known in the area for his sculptures, is exhibiting his charcoal drawings for the first time this year at the show. Other New England artists are also well represented with artists from Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine and Rhode Island. Several favorite Vermont artists are returning to the show this year. Bonnie Acker's landscapes done in pastel, Elizabeth Allen's oils and Helen Shulman's abstract paintings will be on display. Ripton artist Sandra Lance's works in porcelain will be shown for the first time, including lamps, a bowl and a very original chess set. Those attending the Art in the Round Barn show are invited to stroll the grounds of the Inn to visit the many outdoor sculptures that are placed around the property. Kim Hopper, who is coordinating the show along with Anne Marie DeFreest, says, "We have a great mix this year of favorite artists who are returning to the show and newcomers whose work has not been seen locally." This year's jurors were Tari Swenson from the West Branch Gallery in Stowe, Lori Klein from the Artisans' Gallery in Waitsfield and Mark Elliot, a local artist. Art in the Round Barn is sponsored by the Green Mountain Cultural Center in collaboration with the Inn at the Round Barn Farm. Tickets for the reception may be purchased at the door. The show opens to the public on Monday, September 21, and runs through October 12. Admission is free, but a donation is suggested to help cover the costs of organizing the show. Hours are 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, except for Saturdays when the Round Barn closes at 2:30 p.m. for private parties. For more information, call the GMCC at 802-496-7722 or visit the Inn's website at innattheroundbarn.com. The Valley Reporter
