29th Annual Adirondacks National Exhibition of American Watercolors
My painting, "Eye On The Prize", has been accepted to the 2010 exhibition at the Art Center/Old Forge in New York. This is a prestigious national exhibition, which is only open to artists working in watermedia on paper. The show opens on August 20th and will remain on exhibit until October 3rd. There are a variety of awards given at this show and I'm hopeful of obtaining one for my painting this year. Be sure to keep checking back for any award announcements in the coming weeks.
Mill River Furniture
The Mill River Furniture Store, a family owned business in the north country of Vermont is now carrying some framed limited edition prints of my wildlife and nature art in their St. Johnsbury, Vermont location. My artwork will be offered for sale there along with unique tables, lamps, wooden bowls and other home decorative items in addition to the beautiful selection of furniture. My nature artwork is a nice fit with the contemporary and traditional styles of furniture they offer.
Where The Great River Rises
This atlas of the Connecticut River watershed in Vermont and New Hampshire is a lavishly illustrated, comprehensive and interdisciplinary study of the natural and human elements that comprise the Upper Connecticut River watershed. My artwork has been included in a section of the book about how this area has inspired and influenced artists for generations. It's a fascinating book and I'm very proud to have my artwork a part of it.
Wrenzine Cover Art 2010
My artwork "White Egret II" was chosen to grace the cover of the Winter/Spring 2010 Wrenzine magazine. WREN (Women's Rural Entrepreneurial Network), a non-profit organization which began in 1994, publishes this magazine. Their mission is to provide learning opportunities, connects people with one another, creates and supports local markets for entrepreneurs and provides access to resources many small business owners couldn't afford on their own. The magazine is an informative and interesting resource for rural entrepreneurs seeking to start or grow a small business. And, naturally, I made a point of informing my husband that he can now tell people he's married to a "cover girl"!
Society of Animal Artist Show - 2009
I just received notification that one of my newest owl paintings, "Eastern Screech Owl" has been accepted for the annual Society of Animal Artists Small Works - Big Impressions show in November. This year, the show will be hosted by The Wildlife Experience in Parker, Colorado. Located 10 miles from Denver, this venue is a wildlife conservation museum dedicated to promoting the understanding of the natural world, and it's conservation. This facility houses an extensive collection of paintings, sculpture, photography and large-format film to name a few! A portion of the sales of the art from the show will go to the Wildlife Experience. This will be my "debut" show with the Society and I hope the beginning of a long career with them.
Art of the Animal Kingdom XIV Exhibit 2009
I recently received an acceptance letter to this annual wildlife art exhibition, which has been one of my goals for many years. I'm sure my screech of delight was heard across the country when I opened "The Envelope". This is one of the top national wildlife art exhibitions and a big stepping stone for my career as a wildlife artist. My painting, "Brook Trout" will be on exhibit along with approximately 80 artworks, including some of the biggest names in wildlife art, at the Bennington Center for the Arts in Bennington, Vermont. Please see the Exhibition Schedule Page on my website for more information on the show.
Donation of Art - Trout Unlimited Chapter
Each year for the past six years, I’ve donated a print of one of my trout paintings to the MadDog Chapter of Trout Unlimited’s (Vermont Chapter)annual fund raising event. For the 2010 year, I donated a limited edition print of the Brown Trout. The money raised at their annual auction is used on projects to improve river habitat and ensure development of native trout species in local streams. I’ve learned The MadDog Chapter is not just a wacky name for trout fishers and conservationists but is the watershed area of the Mad River and Dog River in Vermont. The Dog River in particular is a wonderful wild trout fishery. I haven’t heard the results of this year’s auction yet but in past events, I’ve been told my trout paintings generated lots of enthusiastic and competitive bidding. It’s a great feeling to know my artwork is so appreciated and is helping the conservation efforts for wild trout species in a few New England streams.
