Announcement List : May

Second Chance: Did you miss the opening at the Glen House Inn B&B, located in Yellow Springs? The closing reception is Sunday, May 5th from 5-7pm. What better way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo than with homemade salsa in an Italian style villa!?!

Big Time/Little Space: Check out the behind the scenes of my installation, then join Dot and Dorrie on the tour of the Rigsby Contemporary Museum! You can also find it on Facebook! Sneak peek in the image above.

Pave the Way: I was recently offered an exhibition opportunity at Art Street, located on the UD campus. The show will be up during a couple private events, including a luncheon with the University President! Show starts May 7th until ???

Art 101: I will be conducting a workshop on artist statements at the Getting in the Game event on Saturday, June 1st at the Springfield Museum of Art. The event is sponsored by the Rosewood Arts Centre, Dayton Visual Arts Center and the Springfield Museum of Art and lasts from 1-5:30pm. For only $5 you will be able to attend several workshops on topics such as taxes, framing, pricing and more, as well as get critiques from art professionals about your artwork.

HELP!: I am so excited to have my first official Studio Intern/Apprentice, Amanda Rae! This amazing CCAD student will be assisting me over the summer with the prep work for my new website while I teach her what I have learned about painting and art over the years. Should be a fun adventure!
