Earlier this year I joined several art groups closer to home to connect with other artists in my area. It's been fun connecting with new artists, participating in various local shows, and seeing some great local art!
I was honored to have two pieces accepted into the 35th Annual Skylands Regional Juried Art Exhibition, Newton, NJ, in May 2023 (below)

We haven't had much snow, so I decided to doodle some after watching this video tutorial by Kyle T. Webster!

Gaertner German-American art historian, educator, writer, poet SUNDAY, November 13 - The Stable Gallery Opening Reception Thanks to all my friends and family for your wonderful support and encouragement! I wish I had taken better pictures of the whole show, but here are a few of my pieces along with my good friend Carolyn and Evan. It was a ton of fun! I loved meeting new people, fellow artists, and talking about our art! I learned a lot for the next show and we all sold some pieces. Win-win-- Hallelujah!

TUESDAY, November 15 - Artist Reception at AtlantiCare Medical Arts Pavilion, Atlantic City, NJ Fellow Springboarder Emily Gilman-Beezley and I headed to Atlantic City, NJ for an artists’ reception and ribbon-cutting ceremony of AtlantiCare's new Medical Arts Pavilion. Along with many other New Jersey artists, our work is featured on their office walls, corridors and spaces as part of AtlantiCare’s Healing Arts Program. What an honor! They treated us like royalty. It was great to meet the organizer, Cheryl Broschard, in person and get to know some of the other artists. I received incredible feedback on my work—totally worth the almost 6-hour round trip!   Emily (holding me up) in front of her beautiful work! :)
Here are a few of the new pieces I completed in time for the show (many still in progress). My new process includes embellishing traditional and archival digital paintings with collaging of paper, beads, and quilling.
