What a surprise to find that my pieces were chosen to represent the Art WORKS Collection on the Metro Arts kiosk! It was a lovely reception and lots of fun to hang out with the other artists and tour each floor to see all the art. Here I am with the other artists and the Board of Metro Arts Commission:

And here the artists are posing with the mayor:

If you missed the Open House, you can see the collection anytime during regular business hours at the Metro Office Building. My pieces are on the 3rd floor near the elevator.

 

 


 

I’ll be teaching lots of classes and workshops in 2019, including a new one called Creating Watercolor Textures. It’ll be on Saturday, February 16, at Plaza, and the details will be on my website soon!

 

Best wishes for the New Year!
