The Bennett Prize 15 | Nov

What an incredible honor to learn I have received an Honorable Mention award for the highly sought after Bennett Prize. 647 entries and the jury selected my work in the top 3%. Thank you Dr. Elaine Melotti Schmidt and Steven Alan Bennett for propelling the careers of women painters and giving us this opportunity. I am also pleased to say my painting “The Odds Against it All” resides in their permanent collection. Thank you Megan Aline and Robert Lange for giving me a path that made this possible for me. So grateful....

Last WIP for September 13 | Aug

Another 22x28 blackwater painting from my time with our ballerina - the last work in progress for September’s show. This piece is vertical but turning it sideways I love it just as much 🙂 Time to go back in for the last layers and bring more out more dimension.

It’s Gucci, Baby 29 | Jul

Half way point on this 22x28 blackwater piece. I found these shoes my last visit to Charleston and thought they were so much fun. The embroidery is beautiful!

Illuminated in the Dark 16 | Jul

I love how without any light at all, in a darkened room, this painting seems to glow. It’s gorgeous in its transitions throughout the day!
