So pleased and honored to have won the Margaret Twitchell Swank Award for Painting with my painting of old dolls titled, "The Congregation", at the Mansfield Art Center's 68th annual May Show. Thank you MAC and juror Gordon Lee.

And now back to painting glass and mason jars for a trip south in October!  I will be painting at Wells Gallery on Kiawah Island on October 25 at Art Uncorked.  Art and wine, doesn't get much better! :)

New work.. Old dolls..

I started working on some new paintings of old composite dolls.  A friend that runs a thrift store posted them one day on Facebook, and I had to have them!  They have been sitting in my studio for almost a year... but recently I have been drawn to work with them.  I just love them!!  I am going to need to look for a few more dolls but in the meantime, here are my first two paintings!
