In September 2016 at the Harrison Center, I was a part of a two person show entitled Moths Alight, Butterflies in Flight. Â Allison Ford created beautiful moth inspired necklaces that were mounted on boards on one side of the gallery. Â Her intricate creations were static and mounted alight. Â My colorful, dynamic butterflies filled the other half of the gallery.
I started painting while standing under a covered deck. Â When the sleet was blown in sideways and started to melt on my palette and canvas I had to move inside and paint from just inside the doorway. Â The background disappeared as the storm picked up, and I had to work by memory.

The vastness of the scene and the distant mountains are what interested me in the scene. The late winter snow was starting to melt allowing golden foliage and green sage to contrast with remaining snow.

The Malton Gallery in Cincinnati is having a show of Women Artists with an opening reception on April 26th! Â If you are in the Cincinnati area, stop by to see my work as well as other women artists represented by the gallery.
When I go hiking I like to take a simple watercolor kit with me. Â This includes a few brushes, a small water bottle to dip my brush in (that way I take all of the dirty water back out of the park with me!), a small water color palatte, paper towels and plastic bag to put them in (again- taking everything out with me), and a 6″ by 9″ or 7″ by 10″ gummed watercolor pad. Â Here is a sketch on a trail my husband and I hiked this past summer.
The Malton Gallery has chosen to represent me in the Cincinnati, OH area.
“Founded in 1974, The Malton Gallery is conveniently located in Hyde Park and features a broad range of contemporary artwork in a welcoming, low-key environment. Â Whether you are an avid collector or a casual browser, you are always welcome at Malton Gallery.”
Lunar Locus has flown away from Indianapolis to Woodstock, Illinois for the 25th anniversary Women’s Works juried art show. The work is pictured above hanging in our house. The Northwest Area Arts Council presents this exhibit that showcases woman artists.
The show runs from March 8, 2012 – April 29, 2012.
