I spent the weekend in Rutland, VT at the Chaffee Art Center teaching a two-day watercolor seminar. I love the Chaffee, and I love teaching there. They always treat me like an honored guest, which I’m never opposed to! The class consisted of four ladies, one of them being my mom, and we just really enjoyed having two full eight-hour days, back-to-back to hang out and make art. I was able to begin a new painting that is actually a flower, but just the greenery. I am very excited to see the end result! (more…)

Well, I’m not famous, but it sure is fun to see your name, picture, or even better yet, your artwork in the paper. I’ve been lucky enough to have all three, (without any illegal activity attached!) and thought I’d pass along the latest bit of “news”. It’s not much, just a blurb about my upcoming class in Rutland. But it’s me nonetheless! So here it is, fresh off the Rutland Herald press:

Scroll down and you’ll see me listed under The Chaffee Art Center….Next thing you know and I’ll be joining the Hollyweird masses, beating off paparazzi with a stick!
