The Hawley Art Show starts this coming week with an opening on Thursday night, April 19th, from 6:30-9:00. Exhibition days continue on Saturday, April 21st, from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm and Sunday, April 22nd  from 1:00-4:00. The show comes down Sunday around 4:00, so be sure to mark your calendar now.  This is a great showing of community area art which includes an entire student section to encourage youth to express themselves visually. This is also a great show for purchasing art as the prices are right!  There will be art demos also! Bring the whole family and I hope to see you there. I’ll be there on Sunday. I have three pieces to show and have attached my latest called Boats in a Row.

I will be included in the bi-annual Great Winter Crow Show at the Spirit Room this year. I have entered a watercolor titled, ” Cro-Magnificence”.  The Crow Show is a wonderful art event that attracts people who create and appreciate art and literature in celebration of this amazing, intelligent bird. The address of the Spirit Room is 111 Broadway. The reception is March 3rd, 2012 from 6:30-9:30. The show will be displayed through the end of March.

Save the Dates!

Dear friends and family- I have been honored by being asked to be the Featured Artist for the Grand Opening of the Red Door Art Gallery in Wahpeton, North Dakota on March 24^th and 25^th. I will be given one entire wall to display my art. I want to invite all of you to take a little road trip to Wahpeton to see the new gallery, check out the artwork by a variety of artists,  and chat with me, as I will be present all weekend to “meet and greet”.  There will be a Friday night reception for members and family and friends, from 7:00-9:00 pm.  Please, for now, save these dates to visit the Red Door Gallery! Saturday’s hours will be 9:00-5:00 and Sunday’s hours will be 12:00-5:00.  I want to see you there!
