Pilot Point Coffee House Art Exhibition: I have a duck, doll legs and a dog on display!

bigbertha

It’s a mad world when my art is scattered around the metroplex in various art exhibits. I am grateful to have these opportunities that have all originated from a decision to join the Visual Art League of Lewisville (VAL). By attending VAL meetings, I met guest speaker, Justine Wollaston Scott, who organizes art exhibits at the Pilot Point Coffee House (among her many talents!)

A selection of my art is on display in Justine’s latest exhibit, “Autumn’s Palette” at the Pilot Point Coffee House, starting September 29th – mid-November. Continue reading Pilot Point Coffee House Art Exhibition: I have a duck, doll legs and a dog on display!

Fresh Ideas 2023 is a juried event through the Visual Art League of Lewisville (VAL).  It is the only event that accepts submissions from members AND non-members.  There is no guarantee that you’ll get in as a member.  Every year the number of submissions increases – this year there were over 300 submissions and about 20% made the cut. 

My art, “Inexplicable” is one of them! Continue reading “Inexplicable” is on display at the Lewisville Grand Theater, Part 1

Out of the Ashes is currently on display at the Lewisville Grand Theater.

The random objects are a connection to people and moments in time that led to this piece. My role was to see the possibility and to be open to the creative process.

The creative process had disastrous moments but I kept moving forward until the piece came out of ashes. Continue reading Out of the Ashes
