Winter Shows

The Shirt Factory Gallery in Glens Falls, NY is presenting its sixth annual Juried Exhibition of Small Works.  The show runs from February 4 through March 24 with hours of noon to 5 pm. 

My pieces are normally relatively small so this is a show I always enter and hope to be selected for.  This year my drawing, "Hot Tub", was chosen.  This image was suggested by a collection of sea theme items on one of my windowsills.  A star fish and his sea horse friends all relaxing in a bubbly tub of marbles.


I also am showing a drawing in the Paul Nigra Center for Creative Arts Winter Art Show.   This gallery is located at 2736 State Highway 30, Gloversville, NY.  My selected piece is called "It's Not Kansas" and is a tribute to the Wonderful Wizard and the books that live on and on for children of all ages. 


A prize at Crandall! (and this and that)

My new piece, "Baby Makes Three", was recently selected as one of 5 Juror's Choice awards at the North Country Arts annual juried show at the Crandall Library in Glens Falls, NY.  I had set myself the task of a black and white only drawing and I really liked bringing out the subtleties of the objects with only my two pencils and the mid-tone gray of the paper.


The Fulton County Chamber of Commerce in downtown Gloversville, NY held a month-long exhibit of area artists and my drawings, "Playing Hookey" and "Rise and Shine", were displayed in their gallery.

 
 
Two of my drawing were shown in the Mohawk Valley Center for the Arts teachers and students' show in Little Falls, NY.  "Razzle Dazzle" is an older piece that shows some of my vintage jewelry collection.  "Round Up" is a study of some western saddles at rest on a railing until the next riders climb aboard.  I hope you enjoy viewing these!
