“Imagination”

My painting “Imagination” is a portrait of a young woman about to paint, in that moment of having an idea and hoping it will come out of your brush as you see and feel it.

I’m honored to have it included in the 2025 Iowa Watercolor Society (IWS) Annual Exhibition! All of the exhibition paintings will be on display for the IWS Annual Meeting, luncheon, watercolor demo, and awards ceremony on Sunday, September 14 at La Poste in Perry, Iowa, and a selection of them will go on to travel the state for the 2025–2026 Traveling Show.

This year’s illustrious juror is internationally-known artist Andy Evansen, who will do the painting demonstration following the luncheon. (He is also teaching a three-day workshop in the days preceding, which sold out almost immediately! There is a waiting list for the workshop.)

The Annual Meeting is an event I anticipate every year as an opportunity to discover fellow artists as well as meet with old friends.
