Paint Annapolis—That’s A Wrap

All are viewable at the pop-up Gallery (West St x Church Circle, #Annapolis, #Maryland) this weekend amd avilable for sale online vis https://mdfedart.com/mfaentry/galleryA/inde

It is such a privilege to have my work in the same space as that of all the wonderful pieces from this week. I totally fangirled the juried artists’ work last night at the reception, which was lovely, (tho warm). Big thanks to Matt Barber Kennedy, who took the time to endure my snark, hear a story, and give my nocturne a quick critique. I thoroughly enjoyed meeting him and the other juried artists, and had the especial privilege of getting to watch Matt paint one day as a workshop. He’s a good sport and parried my heckling quite as masterfully as he painted. It was a great learning opportunity and a lot of fun. So thank you to Maryland Federation of Art, I can’t wait for next year!

Beginning a new commission…

 Playing with an idea for a #contemporary #kitchen piece based on an old family recipe that makes triangular #cookies with fruit centers.
