Art Fairs, Inspirations and a Workshop Recap

I'm so nervous and excited to participate in my first official juried fair this weekend at Spring Green Art Fair. I still have the acceptance letter hanging in my pantry to remind me of this milestone. I set a goal last year to prepare and apply for shows, and now, seeing it come to fruition feels really rewarding. I have a nice assortment of paintings and monoprints to bring and I can't wait to show them off!

Spring Green is such a special place, known for its charming arts community and stunning landscapes. It’s hard to describe the feel of the area to someone who has not been, but there is just something about it that stays with you. It’s the perfect setting for a fair. If you're in the area, I would love for you to come by. I’ll be near BMO Harris Bank on Jefferson Street. I hope to see you!

Events Coming Up 2024

I was honored to host a full roster of 16 amazing students at my encaustic workshops last month. It was a beautiful day, and the beach house in Maple Bluff is such an inspiring location—I wish it were my own personal studio. I loved seeing everyone's unique ideas and creativity come to life. Thank you to my students for making the workshops so special. I can't wait to see what we create together next time! Take a look at some of the student work below:
