Juried Shows
I am very pleased to have been included in 2 juried pastel society shows, and one online competition this past June and July.
Connecticut Pastel Society’s members show Purely Pastels opened June 17th, at Lyme Art Association’s Goodman Gallery, in Lyme CT. My piece, Crown Jewel, won the Bronze Award for Excellence. I am very honored to receive this award, one of the top awards in an extensive list! I am also pleased to report that the piece sold on the second day of the exhibit!

2016 UArt Online Competition
My piece Safe Harbor was juried into the 2016 UArt Online Competition. Almost 600 pieces were submitted to this show, and only 100 were accepted. It is a fabulous collection of work, by an amazing collection of artists. I was honored to be included!

I am very excited to announce that as a gallery artist my pastels are on view at True Grit Gallery, a beautiful new gallery at 38 Center Street, Middleborough, MA. I am in great company, its definitely worth a trip.
Diane, I love your work, and I thank you for letting me know what you’ve been up to, and where I’ll be able to view some of your new pastels! I’m still working with Jeanne, and hope to be doing so for a good while. I’m involved with 3 local art associations, have exhibited in all three. Loving it. See you soon, I hope!
