    Opening! Enormous Tiny Art #22.

    Since beginning the #100littleartworks project way back in 2016, I’ve been diving deeper and deeper into my love of watercolors.  I’m excited to announce that six new watercolors on Aquaboard panel are part of my second showing with Nahcotta Gallery in Enormous Tiny Art #22 opening this Friday, September 1st!

    I’ve been exploring watercolors beyond paper and have completely fallen for Ampersand Aquaboard panels.  The surface reacts much the same way as watercolor paper, but unlike paper, they can be displayed without glass once sealed.  These watercolors on panel are sprayed with fixative and then, for extra protection, coated with a cold wax finish.

    To see all of the Waterbound series available at Nahcotta, check out my artist page on their website.  Work is available for pre-show purchase now and the show will be up in the Portsmouth, NH gallery until September 30th.

    Opening! Enormous Tiny Art #21

    Over the last few months, I’ve been working on some new SCINTILLA paintings, just in time to be included in the Enormous Tiny Art Show #21 opening this Friday, March 3rd at Nahcotta Gallery in Portsmouth, NH!

    This new group of SCINTILLA mini paintings are a bit of a departure from the last group– still minimal in design and palette, but instead of varying the hues with each painting, I kept to a seaside color scheme, inspired by the Puget Sound and the coastal Northeast.

    You can see the new series in person at Nahcotta or check them all out online here!  The show runs through April 2nd and all the work is available to purchase both in the gallery and online.

  • Don’t Miss Artsiness: NSEW 6.5.2014

    Gallery Shows You Should Know About

    This week, it would seem, is one to be filled with all sorts of newness!  In addition to the new post series started on Tuesday and the introduction of my Great.ly shop, I’m excited to finally launch a new featured series I’ve been pondering for a while now.  I’m always on the hunt for new ways to support and promote the artists whose work I love.  When we travel, we’re on the lookout for local art shows and happenings.  Which led me to think, hey, you guys must be, too!

    Each Thursday afternoon, I’ll be posting a round up of interesting gallery or museum shows I think you outta know about– one from each region of the country, North, South, East & West. ( FYI– sometimes North and Northwest will be interchangeable, just because. )

    Here’s the very first round up–
