​I'm teaming up with Michelle Hoting (jewelry artist), and Bill Theis (photographer) for Art at the Source: a self-guided county-wide open studio tour. We're showing our work together for two weekends at Michelle's studio in Santa Rosa. We'll be providing pleasant refreshments and adhering to the county and state Covid-19 safety guidelines. At this time, masks are not required, but are welcome.  

I'll be showing a variety of landscapes and still lifes, as well as paintings and prints from my animal portrait series. I am particularly chuffed to be debuting my newest animal portrait, Tiger, who was inspired by my childhood dream to grow up to be a Tiger and made to celebrate this year of the Tiger. Enjoy a virtual walkthrough of the space here.
