Hi All! 

I have been absent lately from the gallery, but am trying to stay on top of the goings on...if you have sent me emails or left me messages, I have been overwhelmed with my new schedule, and am trying to get back upright again...bear with me!  I will try to schedule some time to stop in soon!

I did teach a class at Creative Celebrations on the 19th and that was well attended...thanks to Marcy for scheduling me! I also have a few new web clients signed on, which is a good "busy" to have!

Hope everyone is having a good spring and planning a good summer!

What a day! Today I finally went with my husband at the May Memorial

to set up my new paintings for the show Trees: Totems of Life!

Dan is a wonderful carpenter and the staging and hanging was smooth and fast.

We make a great team together and the paintings are looking really good in the Social Hall!

Dan made all the frames for my paintings, which are extremely vital in making

the artwork really show and look professional!…

These guys are just warming up, delighted to be on board & representing the CNY Artists crew!

Hello All,

As some of you may already know I have taken on a new project.  I am going to be helping the humane society with a fund raiser to benefit  abandoned and abused animals.  We all love our animals and many of you own a rescued pet.  So... here's your chance.  Enter the contest below and let us know how your pet was rescued and why your they deserves to be a pet pin up for a month. 

We are also looking for help getting the word out about the contest and to let people know that it will be for sale in the late fall.  So please feel free to share this with your friends.  I will add a PDF file on my site for anyone who would like to download it.

I'll keep you posted as things progress with this project.

Till next time!

Gorgeous writing, irresistible characters, a sense of wonder that won't quit.

This rare novel is not to be missed. "

Today I took into the store, several new photos 11"x14" matted prints....also an 18"x24 print  of "Canoe in the mist" mounted on Plak-it", which is a print laminated onto a wood backing..also lots and lots of Vintage jewelry including necklaces and clip-on earrings!  Happy shopping.. great for Mother's day and Father's day.

Thank you to everyone who attended our Art Reception at Creative Celebration Gallery on Friday. It was wonderful to feel the love & support from so many of our friends, and to meet new friends!

My next show is 4/22/11 at the open house at Seneca Chiropractic on Rt 57 in Liverpool. I was honored to be invited to set up a table of "our wares." It is a chance for me to support the staff who always supports me in my health! I encourage anyone who is looking for a chiropractic office to come and check it out!
