Gallery Update 2020

I am sad to report that due Health and Economic reasons, my long time gallery The Alaska House Art Gallery had to close this year.

October 2018 Update

 

Flowing Waters

September Gold

Autumn Tress & Rainbow Colors

I was fortunate this month to have two paintings accepted into the 64th Parallel Juried Exhibit in the Bear Gallery at the Fairbanks Arts Association at Pioneer Park, “Flowing Waters” and “September Gold”. The show will hang until October 27, 2018, if you would like to see them.  Also, two of my paintings are currently hanging at the Alaska House Art Gallery on 10th and Cushman, “Autumn Trees and “Rainbow Colors”. They are now on winter hours.  I hope if you have not had a chance to visit either gallery recently, that you will take advantage of our pleasant fall weather and do so.

Presentation to Fairbanks Watercolor Society

The Fairbanks Watercolor Society has invited me to speak on the subject of painting on location. The meeting is Wednesday, April 20, 2016, 6:30pm, in the Blue Room on the Third floor of the Exhibit Hall in the Centennial Center for the Arts Building (Civic Center / Pickle Barrel) in Pioneer Park on Airport Road, Fairbanks. Social time and snacks at 6:30 and the meeting will start at 7:00pm. Public is welcome. Hope to see you there

January FWS Meeting

I attended the January 2016 Fairbanks Watercolor Society meeting last night and enjoyed a very informative presentation by Jill Marshall on creating cards from your original artwork.
