There is a wide variety of artwork on offer from faculty and students, including paintings, photos, prints, greeting cards, decorative and functional ceramics, sculptures, crochet, jewelry, and more!  I noticed prices ranging from $1 to $160, so there's available art at a range of budgets.

Birthday, holiday, or just because gifts that are one-of-a-kind... don't miss out!  Please bring cash or check.  We can make limited change!

Fall 2025 Has Begun at Morningside University!

Classes at Morningside University began earlier this week; I always enjoy meeting new students and look forward to catching up with returning ones!

This fall, I am teaching ART 103 Design, ART 210 Graphic Design I, ART 402 Advanced Studies in Art History, and ART 470 Graphic Design Internship.

As Morningside’s galleries director, I scheduled an art sale to open up our fall season in Eppley Art Gallery! I will be selling prints and ceramics, and I look forward to seeing what else other members of our community offer. It will open on Thursday, August 28th and run through Friday, September 5th on weekdays.

Sales times are a bit up in the air as it depends on when I can hire students for shifts, but should be some subset of 1-5pm. Please stop by if you’re interested, and note that we only take cash or check.

Come Check Out the 2022 Morningside Art Sale!

As a part of my service to Morningside University, I am the director of the Eppley and Helen Levitt Art Galleries. I scheduled a faculty show, a guest artist show, and a senior thesis show for this fall, but there was a small window of time left over that wasn’t big enough for another exhibition… so I decided to hold an art sale!

Anyone from Morningside’s community - faculty, staff, students, or alumni - was invited to sell their arts and crafts, as long as they donate a minimum of 15% of their sales to one of our three art-focused clubs on campus: Art Club, Photo Club, or the Morningside Student Advertising Agency (MSAA). I asked one of our work study students, Su Montoya Alvis, to design the poster for this event (pictured right).

The sale opened on Monday, October 31st, and runs on weekdays from 1-5pm in Eppley Art Gallery through Friday, November 18th, 2022. It’s open to the public, so please feel free to stop in and check out all of the goods on offer! I myself put in matted 8x10”, 10x10”, 11x14” reproductions and photos, 5x5” greeting cards, and a variety of ceramics. A wide variety of arts and crafts are available from others, including ceramics, crochet, drawings, fiber arts, graphic design prints and stickers, jewelry, mixed media, paintings, photography, and printmaking.

Below are a few photos focusing on my section of the sale, but there is much more to browse!

4th Annual Artisan's Show and Sale at First City Photo

Once again, I participated in the Annual Artisan's Show and Sale in downtown Leavenworth this past weekend! The Show and Sale was held on November 9th and 10th at First City Photo. The artist reception was held on Friday from 5 to 8 p.m. and the show continued on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Here is a photo of my reproductions sale table!

Recent Art Sale at First City Photo & Frames

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 Jardin Botanique de Marnay-sur-Seine Is Now a Vendor for My Artwork

This is such a nice surprise - the Jardin Botanique (the Botanical Garden) of Marnay-sur-Seine, France, liked my greeting cards so much that they decided to purchase a bunch of them to sell in their gift shop!  So there are now multiple locations where you can buy some of my reproductions in person - in downtown Leavenworth, KS, or in Marnay-sur-Seine, France!

Update on Downtown Leavenworth Vendors for My Artwork

On Cherokee Street between Broadway and 7th Street (though basically on the corner of Cherokee and 7th) in downtown Leavenworth, KS, are three connected shops that sell my original artwork and reproductions: Lavender Moon, Rusty Elegants, and Meriwether's.  In addition to my pieces and depending on which store you're in, you can also buy new vintage-inspired clothing and jewelry, other artists' work, and antiques, as well as order coffee, breakfast, brunch, lunch, or an early dinner while surrounded by a casual gallery setting.

All three shops are still relatively new - Meriwether's is the newest - and are part of the exciting revitalization of downtown Leavenworth that's been progressing since I moved here a little less than three years ago.  If you're in the area, you should stop by!

My Artwork and Reproductions for Sale at Rusty Elegants

A new hybrid store has opened up in downtown Leavenworth, KS - it's a composite vintage-inspired clothing retailer and antiques shop that also has a section devoted to gallery space and home decor.  The clothing part is called Lavender Moon, and the rest of the business is run under the name Rusty Elegants.  They will be selling my artwork and reproductions of my artwork (currently greeting cards and postcards but likely prints and other reproductions), so if you happen to be in Leavenworth you should stop by!  

The address is 700 Cherokee Street, Leavenworth, KS 66048.  Store hours are as follows:

Mon-Thurs: 9:30 am-6:00 pm
Fri: 9:30 am-8:00 pm (Sangria and snacks are provided on Friday evenings)
Sat: 6:00 am - 8:00 pm (during Farmer's Market season, otherwise 9:30 am-8:00 pm)
Sun: 12:00 pm-4:00 pm
