Visiting my son in San Francisco and we took a fun drive down the coast. This watercolor sketch shows one of our stops along the way.

Delighted to be part of this show and have my work recognized!

This small series is now complete (I think). I call it “Interference,” because it represents how Lyme disease can distort and hinder one’s view of the world.

Each is 12x12 acrylic on MDF board.

It might be a rainy weekend, but I’m walking on sunshine! My painting, “Pretty in Pink,” received the honorable mention award during the opening reception for Expressions Juried Art Exhibition. I’m just delighted!

Congratulations to the other three award winners and all the artists whose work is included in the show.

Thank you to juror Bryn Schockmel from The Hyde Collection and everyone at North Country Arts.

“Blind Spots”
12x12 inch acrylic on MDF board

My most recent painting, “Blind Spots” represents the visual, mental, and physical barriers that can result from Lyme disease and other chronic illnesses.
