Show at the local Cafe

I have two new encaustic paintings hanging in a group show at the Clingman Cafe, in the River Arts District. It is a show of my studio building's artists. Several painters and potters are in the show, which is up through the month of November.

Doors of Asheville fundraiser event

Home Sweet Home is the name of this encaustic painting. It will be in a fundraising auction this Friday for Mountain Housing Opportunities, an organization that builds affordable housing in the area. The event is called the Doors of Asheville, and that's the theme for the art that is donated. Some pieces are actually done on doors. This will be the third year I've donated a painting for this fundraiser, and this year the art was juried in. If you are local, consider coming to the event. It's a great time for a great cause.

Mural

This article just came out in our local paper, and the mural on my studio building was just finished. That is my studio upstairs with the white curtains. It's been fun watching the mural progress!

Open House at the Cottonmill Studios

This Saturday, April 17, my studio building is having a spring open house from 10-6. There are painters, potters, and even a flute maker. Stop by and check out what we've been up to! If you haven't seen my encaustics, this would be a great time to learn about this new medium for me.
