The Chehalem Mountain Art Affair on July 25th and 26th.  Visit www.chehalemmountainpottery.com for driving directions and more details.  This is my only show this summer so come by and say hello.

My friend, Virginia and I just took an evening workshop from Linda Womack.  We learned the crackle method, it was way frickin’ cool.  Both Virginia and i are really excited to incorporate that technique into our work.  Linda is a wonderful teacher and I highly recommend anyone who wants to learn about encaustic painting & techniques to take her classes.

I am looking forward to a new year, to create new paintings, to enjoying new adventures with my friends and family.  Currently I am in Salt Lake City for my dad’s 75th birthday and my nieces 6th birthday.  I am excited to get home and start painting.

My first art event of the year will be:

2009 SE Area ARTWalk
Sat. Feb. 28th & Sun. March 1st
10-5pm both days

You can check out the link at www.seportlandartwalk.com.   I will have a bunch of new work and maybe a new booth display.  This will be my first year in this event.  I will update more info later regarding the details.  Smile and enjoy the moment! Peace.

I will be having an open house at my studio the last weekend in Sept.  Come and see how I paint wax on wood.  There will be live music, food, drinks and even the Sprockettes, check out the link…  http://sprockettes.org/sprockettes/main/main.html.  You MUST check out the videos!!

The address is:  833 SE Main St, Pdx 97214
Friday from 5pm to 9pm and Saturday from 11am to 5pm

My next gig is this weekend at the Tualatin Crawfish Festival.  It will be the first time at this event.  There will be music, lots of crawfish eating, not something I will be doing and watching all the pirates!  They have a pirate theme for this event.  Lets pray to the weather gods that it will be sunny that day and no rain!  When are the weatherman ever right anyway. check it out:  www.tualatincrawfishfestival.com

This summer I will be in a few art shows.  I am really excited to be in the Chehalem Mtn Art Affair which is the 26th & 27th of July.  I was at the Postergarden for First Thursday in June.  I meet a great artist, Richard Jones, he makes fabulous paint brush as a side thing to his wonderful drift wood sculptures and rock formations.  Check out his website, www.drifting-images.com! I will also be in the Tualatin Crawfish Festival on the 8th and 9th of August and the following weekend on the 16th at Max’s Fanno Creek Brew Pub for the Brew-n-Art show.  Virginia Parks and I have been to few encaustic workshops this summer from Linda Womack and Elise Wagner, highly recommend taking their classes.
