The coast is calling...

The coast is calling...

Longer days and warmer weather mean summer is around the corner.  And there is no better time for my new series of artwork inspired by landscapes and wildlife of the Coast of the Carolinas than this time of year. Join me for my first show of the season this weekend at The Artist Next Door Spring Show Sunday, April 23rd from 1:00-5:30 @ 25 Pinehurst Drive, Greenville, SC 29609.  This outdoor show is family friendly and open to the public.  What better way to enjoy a beautiful weekend than to spend it seeing the work of 25 local artists!


Because a blank wall has unlimited possibilities!

May 11-13, I’m excited to be a part of the The Art Room Spring Show.  This is more than just another art show. It is a creative space where artists, designers, and collectors can come together. I hope you’ll mark you calendar to make this special event part of your plans in May to see a select group of my new, original oil and mixed media paintings @ 101 Churchill Downs, Greenville, SC 29615 (9-7 11-12, 9-4 on the 13th).  



Crafted for a good cause

Last Fall, I gifted a 48x48” digital painting called Sacred Grove to my high school alma mater, Christ Church Episcopal School.  The piece depicts a whimsical version of Patrick Dougherty’s stick sculpture created on campus with the help of the student body in 2020. I’ve donated a 12x12” signed canvas print to the school that will be included in a silent auction on May 6, 2023. Learn more about the event and how you can participate, here.
