Great news! I’ve been invited to exhibit several of my pieces over the next two summers at the HUB – Robeson Galleries at Penn State University! The invitation was a lovely and unexpected surprise. Someone from Penn State saw some of my paintings on display last year at an event where I made a presentation about Art & Healing. She mentioned me to the gallery director and after reviewing some of my work, invited me to exhibit. My paintings of women will be on display June – September 2016 and they expressed an interest in having me exhibit my animal paintings in Summer 2017. I don’t have many details yet, so I’ll post information as it becomes available.

I’ve been quite troubled by the state of the world of late. Sometimes “taking it to the canvas” (as my teacher/mentor, Shiloh Sophia McCloud says) is the only way to get my feelings out. Painting is incredibly healing for me and brings me a lot of peace. I created this piece in acrylics on a 30 x 40 canvas while listening to the music of Hildegard von Bingen.
Prints of both paintings shown below can be purchased through me directly or my Fine Art America page.
The angel is very similar to another angel I’ve painted in the past…

It’s HARVEST TIME! Autumn is just around the corner and the stores and markets are full of beautiful and colorful fruits and vegetables. Bright sunflower and mums of every fall hue can be found on front porches and I’m even starting to see pumpkins and scarecrows in the neighborhood yards.
In celebration of the end of summer (and the end of my vacation), I treated my daughter and myself to a painting workshop entitled, “The Harvest Queen” offered by my wonderful and inspiring instructor, Shiloh Sophia McCloud with guest instructor, Christine Arylo. Shiloh offers monthly courses online via LiveStream, so students can attend from the comfort of their own homes. Women from four continents attended “The Harvest Queen”…and the dedicated women from Australia (aka OZ) tuned in to the class before sunrise. A special Facebook group was set up so that students could interact and post pictures of their work and progress.
My daughter and I had a great time in my studio, sipping wine as we painted. We decorated the studio for the occasion with a bouquet of flowers, a basket of fruits and veggies and a few candles.

I spent a recent Friday afternoon and evening bathed in the sweet and sticky, wet and wild Land of “The Honey Jar”. (Yes, real honey WAS involved!).
The class was online via LiveStream from California and offered by my brilliant instructor and mentor, Shiloh Sophia McCloud and her partner Jonathan Lewis.
As a student, you can interact with women from around the world throughout the sessions via chat and Facebook. You can also post your progress and final work (if you feel brave and want to share). More courses from Shiloh coming soon…if you’re interested in learning more, let me know. You CAN learn to paint!
“Ancient Times” Mixed Media – Inspired

Today, I popped on Facebook and happened upon a gorgeous painting – “She Lived” created by one of my favorite teachers, Sharon Tomlinson (All Norah’s Art). The painting was of a couple (Sharon and her husband) in a style inspired by artist, Peter Michev. I enjoyed both Sharon’s version and Peter’s art so much, I decided to spend my Sunday Studio Time painting a couple in a similar style.
So…”Ancient Times” was created tonight – inspired by my dear husband; Sharon and Peter Mitchev.
This piece is mixed media on canvas – acrylics, ink, papers, graphic.
