Shows and Events
Novelty Hill Farm Holiday Market, Upside Down Kitty Vendor Booth, December 2023.
See my art in person!
The impact of any piece of art, whether it is an original or a print, can only really happen when you see it in person. In person you can experience the brushstrokes, the quiet details, the purposeful textures, and other subtleties that really accent and balance the ‘louder’ parts of the painting/artwork. Whenever I post a completed photo to social media a close friend of mine often says “I can’t wait to see it in person”.

Grateful Bread Art Walls
The Grateful Bread bakery in Duvall, WA displays creative artistic works from local artisans. I reached out to Grateful Bread when I had some of my originals displayed on the Duvall Foundation of the Arts exhibition wall located at Duvall City Hall. I thought it would create a great sense of connectivity and synergy for me to exhibit some of my unique and exclusive prints at The Grateful Bread bakery.
The prints displayed (and for sale) at The Grateful Bread receive special treatments. I mount these prints to cradled wood panels. These panels are generally 1.5 inches deep, giving them the feeling of a painting that was created on a gallery wrapped canvas. On many of them I add additional paint to create more striking highlights or accentuate color and on some of them I’ve add unique flourishes and character. They become their own little original.
If you are in the Duvall area, please, go check them out! I love that my pieces are featured under the word Grateful, because every day I am!
