There is a sense of euphoria in Maine at this time of year as we all begin to anticipate the warmth of a new season. For artists, part of the excitement is also the completion of winter work and its delivery to exhibitions. The last six months have been satisfying, as painting and related activity have expanded to fill my days after retirement from teaching. It’s an enjoyable challenge to adapt to a new work rhythm and I’m confident that it will continue to evolve as I settle into my own work.

Here’s a schedule of some upcoming activity and places where you can see my work this summer. I’m excited about being able to show in these inviting art spaces, with thoughtful gallerists and curators, in Maine and beyond.
