Exhibitions

This year brought a lot of new opportunities to show my art. My work was juried into two different shows – New Wings and Shy Dinosaurs at Franklin Street Gallery and Fall Show at Dansville ArtWorks.

I also exhibited through shows at the ARTS Council of the Southern Finger Lakes and Community Arts of Elmira. Two works were displayed in the Square Foot Show at Bismarck Arts & Galleries Association. And of course 50 works were displayed as part of the Summer Mosaic show at 171 Cedar Arts.

This fall I was honored to be selected to exhibit a solo display of my work in a new partnership between the ARTS Council and First Heritage Federal Credit Union. My show Waterfalls of the Finger Lakes was on display September through December in the Corning branch of the credit union and featured nine waterfall paintings.

This year also brought a newspaper article interview through the Genesee County Express about the Fall Show at Dansville ArtWorks and television interview for the Senior Notebook on WENY (scheduled to air 1/13/19) based on my Waterfall of the Finger Lakes exhibition.

What's Next?

I’m excited to see what this new year will bring! I’m in the process of formulating new goals for 2019 and planning out the year’s calendar of shows and brainstorming new projects.

What are your goals as we go into the new year?
