I had a great time at the opening for a show at the Peters School of Craft Gallery in New Jersey!

A portrait I recently did of my niece Taija and her baby!

The New Hope Arts Center has a gallery opening this weekend (Jan 11) and out of the 120 artist in the show, they chose mine as one of three to represent the show in this article from the Bucks County Herald newspaper!

On my Instagram page, I post updates twice a week or so of works in progress. Here’s a video combining those posts so you can see how this piece was made!

My latest work — John Oliver as an owl, and not just any owl: It’s a “Spectacled Owl”

This piece has just been accepted for the State of the Art Gallery in Ithaca, New York, and the opening is on December 6th! Maybe some of you could make it!

I was honored to be accepted into a show at The Heidi Gallery (that’s it’s name!) in Livingston, New Jersey. The show runs through December.

I had a great time today at the Lehigh Art Alliance’s show in Bethlehem, PA. My piece was awarded an honorable mention, which, considering the number of pieces in the show, is quite an honor!

Here’s what I have been able to get done this year so far — not as much as usual because I’m still in recovery and doing physical therapy.  Hope you like them!

You can see my work at the Medford Arts Center in Medford, New Jersey from now till September 5th! Click here to hear me talk about it in a video!

My piece “The Doctor’s Tea Party” came in second, which was very nice! Here’s what the judge said about it: “This tells a story and I want to know more. It has a sensibility about it that pleases the eye. It carries colors nicely throughout, and the composition is pleasing. I like the flowers coming down, the glasses match the mouse, the browns are represented nicely and so are the greens. The focal point of the yellow bow just completes the composition.”

The opening was amazing. There was a huge storm that hit just before, felling trees and knocking out the power. People had to look at the art with the flashlights on their phones!

So I am currently showing here, at the New Hope Arts Center, at the Baum School of Art, at A Mano Gallery, and of course in many Ripley’s Believe it or Not Galleries around the world. In October, you’ll also find me at the Heidi Gallery in Livingston, New Jersey!

Be sure to join my Instagram page for twice-weekly demonstrations of my current work.

Here are some pictures from the opening!

I had a great time tonight at the New Hope Art Center’s opening of their latest show: Structures and Constructions in Fiber. It runs through August 18. My “da Vinci in Dryer Lint” piece got some nice attention there!  Click on a picture to enlarge it.
