Events
Here are some images of the show! I got sidetracked by an alumna when I was walking around photographing so I haven't taken pictures of the whole of the show yet, but that just means there's more to experience if you want to stop by - the show's up through the 15th.
An image of my wall of artwork from the exhibition.

I recently participated in a art sale on November 11-12 in downtown Leavenworth's First City Photo & Frames. I had a stand at this artist-run event last year as well, but this year I had even more of a selection available for sale. The greeting cards were particularly popular! I have plans to expand my reproduction sales to my website, so stay tuned...
The Pursuit, LSU College of Science's blog, asked me to do a post in honor of National Reptile Awareness Day (October 21). Check it out!
If you're in or passing through Boston this Friday, consider stopping by the Boston Children's Museum for the reception for the All Things Animals! exhibition I'm participating in (two of my paintings are on display). The reception runs from 6-8pm on Friday, October 21st. Here's some more info directly from the museum itself:
We hope you can join us to celebrate! Due to museum policy, we unfortunately cannot provide food and beverages at the reception. Museum admission is only $1.00 after 5:00pm on Fridays, so bring the family! Adults attending without kids, be sure to bring your IDs- as part of the museum's "Unaccompanied Adult" policy, they ask that you leave a photo ID at the Admissions desk for safety reasons while visiting. To get to the gallery, you can take the stairs or elevator to the second floor. Once you reach the second floor, take a right and follow the hallway to the Keva exhibit. In Keva, continue right, which will lead you straight into the gallery. Here is a link to the museum’s floor plan, just in case you would prefer a visual: http://www.bostonchildrensmuseum.org/visit/floor-plan.
Here are the Spring 2016 Student Art Exhibition photos! We invited local artist Beth Snider to be our guest judge in handing out Miller Awards, so you can see her presenting those in a couple photos. 44 students exhibited in the show (which ran from April 29 through May 5). Classes I taught that were represented include Typography, Printmaking, Painting I & III, and Advanced Studios in Mixed Media and Tattoo Design.
If you're not attending the University of Saint Mary's SpireFest this Saturday, you should consider visiting the Sierra Club's 2016 Annual Fundraiser! For the second year in a row, I've donated artwork - this year I donated an aluminum print, a matted paper print, and three packaged greeting cards - for their silent auction. I raised $300 last year through my donation of an original drawing on panel, so I'm interested to see what the reproductions bundle will go for!
Every year, the University of Saint Mary holds an event called SpireFest which is aimed at raising money for student scholarships. There's a silent auction, student performances and entertainment, food and drink, and even dancing. This year, I've donated a signed, matted print and five greeting cards as an artwork bundle, so keep your fingers crossed it gets some good bids! I'll be there for the third year in a row, so if you're interested in keeping me company, check out this flyer - but hurry, as SpireFest is this Saturday...
