Fall 2013 Newsletter

Hello friends and art lovers!

It has been quite a busy year, both personally and professionally. Despite dealing with death and illness in the family, I have tried to keep creating art  and staying in the flow of life, moving forward - searching and enjoying. I am still teaching; it brings me great joy to be around so many creative people who are on the same journey.

In August I went on a painting trip to Ohio. We took our easels and went out on the water, enjoying the breeze and the trees, and painted away. I also went on a photo trip to Florida last month, taking in some beautiful scenery, water and sunsets.

This fall has brought many opportunities to display my artwork, between putting new work in galleries and participating in 4 art exhibits. All of the pieces entered into these shows were honored with some type of award! Here are the details and pictures from each show:

*Enchanted and Festival of Sunflowers took 1st and 2nd place, respectively, at Hobart Arts League 8th Annual Juried Art Competition.

                                                                                                                                   

*Many Faces of a Woman received 1st place honors at Heartland Artists' 25th Annual Juried Regional Art Show.

                                                                                                                                   

*Out of 401 entries, submitted by 231 talented artists, 215 total pieces were accepted into the Midwest Museum of American Art's 35th Elkhart Juried Regional Show. Secrets on the Wind received the Steve and Jane Poe purchase award.  We Rise to the Occasion received the Craig and Connie Fulmer purchase award.
