Hello everyone! It has been an exciting and invigorating summer-into-fall for me. I hope it finds you well also. After finishing up my summer shows in Elmer NJ and Lewes DE – I took the month of August to pursue other endeavors. I had the opportunity to teach in San Diego CA at the Shepherdess Bead Store. I taught a bookbinding class – just the basics, as the beaders planned to embellish their books on their own. And the mini shrine class, although small, was wonderful – collage, image transfer, using found objects…all in a mint tin. I will have a few of my mini shrines at my Fall shows!

Late August – a dream come true – Penland! Call it an artist’s retreat, or simply art camp for adults…I worked in the clay studio with two excellent instructors, and came away inspired, exhausted, and rejuvenated. I have fallen in love with the landscape – the NC mountains… Who wouldn’t?

This fall – I have two shows coming up: Artsfest at Annmarie Gardens on Solomon’s Island, MD. This weekend show, September 20^th &21^st is held in a beautiful wooded setting, and is truly fabulous. Excellent artists and diverse offerings await you.

And my final show of the fall – Art on the Avenue in the Del Ray neighborhood of Alexandria VA. This one day show, on October 4^th heralds in the fall for me. Definitely time to begin holiday shopping!  This show was my first ever – what was it 4 years now? Great people watching, dog walking fun. And good shopping, I must add!

So there in a nutshell are my plans for the next few months. Please check back here – for pictures and updates.
