I'm so happy to announce that my painting, I Sought the One I Love, was accepted into the Bridgeport Art Center's 12th Annual Art Competition. The opening reception will take place Friday, May 17th in the 4th floor gallery of the Bridgeport Art Center. Unfortunately I will not be at the reception as I will still be in Scotland. I am looking forward to seeing the exhibit when I return! Thank you to the curators, Yvette Kaiser-Smith and Candance Hunter.

I see dead things. Drawings of a bird I encountered on a walk, finding beauty in things that people sometimes do not want to look at. ink on Japanese paper.
