Open Studio Art Show: "Small Steps"
Saturday November 26 11am-3pm
6210 Wiscasset Road, Bethesda, MD 20816
After 3 years of doing my shows outside in the garden and deck, I am hosting a show inside in my newly painted studio. Many of my new paintings are too small for the garden: a wall of 38 small abstract collages as well as sketches from travels to Vermont, Idaho and the Tropics. I refer to this show as "Small Steps" because it was by doing one small painting/collage at a time that I found gratitude, fun and healing amidst an uncertain time in my life.
COVID still lingers after nearly 3 years! The world feels unsettled, as do I. Making art helps me stay centered. My garden, my home, my friends, my daily walks, reading, meditating...All of those things feed my heart. New paintings have been added in LANDSCAPES . LOCKDOWN includes my collages and paintings from 2020 and 2021. ABSTRACTS are older collages and paintings pre-2020 Learn more ABOUT ME, including a short movie. And, of course, CONTACT ME with your questions, comments, purchase inquiries or to sign up on my mailing list. I hope you enjoy the running INSTAGRAM feed below!
