Happy holidays

Holiday season is in full swing and I’m enjoying the sunshine and mild temperatures, which are very welcome in Nebraska this time of year! Birds are visiting our feeders, lights are twinkling and soon I’ll be baking biscotti, making toffee, wrapping gifts and tying them in colorful bows. Then we’ll share all those things with extended family and friends we don’t get to see often enough.

I’m grateful for all the support in the past year and am looking forward to new endeavors in 2019. Stay tuned for announcements about exhibits, workshops and other news.

Happy holidays to you with wishes for warmth, laughter and love as we embrace the season.

open houses and upcoming workshops

I’ll have the studio ready for visitors for the upcoming open house at Hot Shops Art Center. Stop into my place, Studio 210, between noon and 5 p.m. Saturday or Sunday. After 5 p.m. Saturday, I’ll join John Miller in Studio 219 to play some music. You’re welcome to join me for that, too! Even though I’m on the second floor now, I still recommend starting your visit on the third floor and working your way down through the building. There will be lots to see, and you can follow your nose to the delicious aromas from food available from Bang Catering on the first floor.

In my studio, I’ll have some new paintings, as well as some works in progress and selected paintings and woodcut prints on display and available for purchase. Also, I’ve scheduled two workshops in the new year, so if you’re curious about cold wax and painting with this versatile medium in a two-hour session of creative play, you can get signed up.

Parking will be available in the Mastercraft lot just north of our building, and on Saturday, our neighbors at Midco (check out the Haney Studio) and Bench will be open, too!
