In 2021 you helped support other artists with my successful fundraiser during the month of April.
April is the month I celebrate my birthday by offering you 10% off a select group of paintings. For 2022, in the spirit of Artists Helping Artists, I want to pay it forward again to a non-profit that is near to my heart - Aurora Studios and Gallery.
This year I will match your discount and give 10% of all sales to Aurora to help them to continue to mentor, recoup from 2020, and help provide a safe environment for making art.
I have a close connection to Aurora Studios. My mother suffered with mental illness and loved to paint. When I met Lori Greenberg, I was excited to hear of a group who focused on art and worked with artists who had many of the same challenges my mother had throughout her life. I have been able to help through teaching in the program, volunteering at some of the exhibits, and letting others know about Aurora Studio.

I had a great time in Chicago last month. If my workspace is any indication I was mighty busy, hahaha.
Since I have been back, I have been painting away, meeting visitors at my studio in the River Arts District and teaching a sold out workshop @310Art.
​
​Hope to see you soon at the studio! When visiting, please wear a mask. My grandchildren will thank you!

A nice look at all the art from my week in Chicago.  Best part my work is at the beginning!!!

Chicago here I come! Yes, I am excited. New art to see, new friends to meet and 5 days of working in the studio with other artists to share ideas and explore.

As a finale to the week there will be an exhibit based on present work, work completed during the 5 day period and an installation piece by the group.

We are having an opening while we are still in town and I invite all the followers, collectors and friends in the Chicago area to stop by that night or before the exhibit comes down.
