An exhibit of twenty-eight of my new sky paintings, in Spiral Press Café at Northshire Bookstore, Manchester, VT. Nine are mid to large paintings, and the rest smaller ones.

Many of the new small oil paintings hanging in the exhibit are not yet up on my website, so I put together a page that shows all of these paintings. Just click HERE to see all twenty-eight paintings in the show.

Fencepost Memories

July 7th - August 7th
Meet the Artist:
Saturday, July 7th, 12:30 - 5pm

This spring I have focused on a series of fence post paintings, exploring different ways to use the post as a design element in my compositions. Meadow close-ups with posts dividing foreground from background, fences delineating pasture from field, and expansive vistas with posts disappearing into the distance.

During the month of July, the Lenox Gallery of Fine Art, 69 Church Street, Lenox, MA will feature several paintings from my fence post series. Saturday, July 7th, I will be at the gallery from 12:30-5 pm. Please stop by to see my newest works.

Come visit my studio this Memorial Day Weekend. I will be one of seven artists in the Bennington area participating in the 14th Annual Vermont Open Studio Tour. My studio will be open to visitors both Saturday and Sunday, May 27th & May 28th from 10am - 5pm. Come see where I work, where my inspiration comes from, and learn about my processes. VT Studio Tour Maps can be found at the Bennington Chamber of Commerce as well as many locations between Williamstown and Bennington. Signs will be posted along the roads to make us easy to find.


After being asked many times if I would consider making prints of my artwork, I have finally decided to make fine art giclée reproductions of two of my recent paintings. They will be available framed or unframed at my studio. The original oil paintings are 30" x 40". These are now available as 22" x 29" giclées on 100% cotton canvas, as well as small 9" x 13" prints on acid free 100% cotton fine art watercolor paper, 300 gsm.

For the months of May, June, and July, 13 of my paintings, many in my meadow series, will be on view at the Three Mountain Inn, a 4 diamond inn and restaurant located in the center of Jamaica, VT across the street from the Nancy Price Gallery.
