Three Art Shows. Two Coasts. One January!

"The Marley / Palm Springs" - Covet Art Gallery's "Eye Candy" Exhibit

Hello Friends, 

Happy New Year!

I’m heading west soon to celebrate my first juried show in San Diego, CA. It’s an exciting way to kick off 2026–and I’m definitely looking forward to some warmer weather. Fingers crossed that my "Palm Springs" collage (pictured above) makes its USPS journey to the gallery...safely!

West Coast friends, if you’re around the night of Saturday, January 17, I’d love to see you at the opening reception for "Eye Candy" at Covet Art Gallery in Oceanside, CA. All details are below.

Before that, I also have two Connecticut shows on view, which I’m excited to share with you as well:

UPCOMING SHOW: 

Lyme Art Association's "First Impressions" Art Exhibition

My original collage "April Hope" (pictured below) will be on view and available for sale at the "First Impressions" Associate Artist's Show at Lyme Art Association. This exhibition is on view from Jan 9 - Feb 20, 2026 and celebrates a wide range of approaches to representational artmaking. I'm honored to have been jurored into this show by Susan Powell of Susan Powell Fine Art Gallery in Madison, CT.

The opening reception is on Sunday, January 11 from 2-4pm. Please join me if you're in the Old Lyme, CT area!

CURRENT SHOW: 

Clinton Art Society's 2025 Members Holiday Exhibition

My original collage “Salt Marsh” (pictured below) is on view and available for sale at the Clinton Art Society’s Members Holiday Exhibition through January 15, 2026 at the Clinton Town Hall at 54 E Main Street in Clinton, CT. I received "Honorable Mention" for this piece and the following nice statement from juror, Catherine Puccio: "What a clever approach to creating distance and form! It is obvious the artist knows her way around the landscape. All the shapes, colors and values merge to form a unified composition."  Thank you, Catherine!
