New Year News

We are just around the corner from "The River's Journey: One Year, Six Artists, Ninety-Two Miles" which will open at the Wildling Museum on February 17.

The six of us - myself, Libby Smith, Pamela Zwehl-Burke, Nicole Strasburg, Holli Harmon and Connie Connally - are really excited to see the culmination of over a years worth of hard and rewarding work.

The Wildling Museum is holding an exclusive Preview Event for the exhibition, which includes a special reception with the artists and the following:

Another great exhibition of a different sort will be at the Elverhoj Museum in Solvang. "ReOpening The Book" is a show of Artist Books - a unique and interesting art form. There are 23 artists exhibiting their work in this show, myself included. This will be opening on Saturday, February 3, and run through April 29, 2018. Reception is from 4-6 on the 3rd.
I will be showing 4 unique (meaning one-of-a-kind) artist books. Here is a sneak peek:
