Events

• May 31 – June 2, 2019:  I’ll have a space inside Iowa Artisans Gallery during this year’s Iowa Arts Festival (downtown Iowa City, IA), while outside under a tent, my watercolor class members will be taking turns demonstrating. The Iowa Arts Festival is “an award-winning, weekend-long community celebration featuring over 110 local and national visual artists,” so check out all the activities if you’re in town!



• June 29 – 30, 2019:  I’ll have a booth at this year’s ArtFest Midwest in the Varied Industries Building at Iowa State Fairgrounds (Des Moines, IA).

  “Explore ArtFest Midwest, an annual juried fine art event and Iowa’s largest fine arts show. Held the same weekend as the downtown art show, ArtFest Midwest features Iowa and regional artists. Over 250 artists participate during the festival, varying in mediums and styles.”

I’m exhibiting along with artists Louise O’Donnell and Mayela Fonseca for this display of our watercolor work. We all paint portraits and the figure. Mayela Fonseca is President of the Iowa Watercolor Society and brought Janet Rogers to Iowa, whose workshop we took and enjoyed. Mayela does more portrait painting while I do more moving figure. I’ve painted with Louise O’Donnell for many years and she is known for her wonderful pastels in addition to watercolor.
