Impressions of New England at last

I was very proud and pleased to be notified that my larger piece - "Time After Time" has been accepted for the 2013 Bennington Center for the Arts "Impressions of New England" Juried Show.  This piece was challenging because of the large amount of detail, but also fun because all the objects have personal connections.  The clock cookie jar is the only thing my husband has from his mother's kitchen and the milk bottle is from the family farm on my side of the family.  The other bottles and packages are all from the old farmhouse I once lived in.  These things sit on my refrigerator top and catch the light so beautifully, as I tried to capture in this drawing.

The Bennington Center for the Arts is located at 44 Gypsy Lane, Bennington, Vermont 05201.  It is open daily from 10-5:00pm and closed on Tuesdays. Here is the link for further information.  http://thebennington.org/  Impressions of New England opens June 8 and runs until August 25.

Cooperstown Art Association!

My new piece, "Farm Days" was accepted for the Cooperstown Art Association's Regional Juried Show - "Essential Arts".  "Farm Days" was quite a challenge because of the close up view of and lettering and lettering on the objects.  I also added a strawflower that was not actually in the arrangement.  I was really honored that this piece won one of the prizes - the "Artware Award" at the show.

The show runs from May 3-31 and is located in the elegant, old library at 22 Main Street, Cooperstown, NY  13326.  The hours are daily 11-4, Sundays 1-4 with closed on Tuesdays.  Here is a link for more information.  http://www.cooperstownart.com/home.html  Hope you can come!
