“Fairview View” accepted to the Sandwich Arts Alliance’s annual June Kershaw juried exhibit August 5 – September 8, 2026.

The Sandwich Arts Alliance’s June Kershaw exhibit is a great showcase for Cape Cod artists, and I am honored to be included again this year. The Alliance’s gallery and classrooms are located in the historical old Sandwich Town Hall, which has recently been renovated and restored – this exhibit is part of its grand re-opening.

Located near the Sandwich Glass Museum (where they have daily glass blowing demonstrations) Heritage Museum and Gardens (which has antique cars and a vintage indoor carousel) and a very walkable Main Street, it is definitely worth a day trip if you are vacationing on the Cape.

The Sandwich Art Alliance is open Tuesday through Saturday, 11am – 4pm.

Fariview View, Groton, 2026

The opening Reception is on August 13, 2026 from 5:30-7:30pm.

I’m glad that a Groton painting is getting attention. Fairview Orchards in Groton, MA, has a small seasonal farm stand on Higley Street near the Groton School. My painting shows the view from the stand as you look out onto Farmer’s Row, a beautiful street with views across the valley to Mount Wachusett.

Two paintings in another great auction supporting Cape Cod artists: the Great Brush off 2026 benefitting the Cahoon Museum of American Art

The Great Brush Off auction to benefit the Cahoon Museum of American art is now open for viewing, and you find two works of mine included:

Seeking the Limelights, watercolor 2026
Coastal Chaos, watercolor + ink, 2026

The Silent auction opens on June 27 at 9am and there’s an open house and artists reception that day, too. There’s a Live Auction Party on July 11th that requires a ticket.

The Cahoon Museum of American Art is a gem in Cotuit, MA, that features local artists (there’s always work on display by Ralph and Martha Cahoon) as well as great American artisans and their place in history.

The current show features Nantucket Baskets (haven’t seen it yet) but the Tiffany’s Gardens in Glass show that just closed was spectacular – I visited it three times.

SOLD! “Irrational Exuberance” via the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod Summer Auction, June 2026

SOLD

Irrational Exuberance, Watercolor 2024

The Arts Foundation of Cape Cod’s annual summer auction is an annual fundraiser I always look forward to, and I am pleased as punch that this vibrant piece, “Irrational Exuberance” (watercolor on paper, 18×13, framed) was sold to a collector who has been very good to me. This year they offered a truly stunning display of works by local artists.

A portion of the proceeds from all of the sales goes to support artists work on Cape Cod – where painting is easy but living is expensive.

“On the Inside Looking Out” selected for the New England Watercolor Society Spring into Art Show at the Plymouth Center for the Arts on view March 6 – May 6, 2026

A sure sign that this interminable winter will end is the emergence of spring arts shows, and I’m happy to share that this bright watercolor + ink piece has been accepted to the New England Watercolor Society‘s Spring into Art exhibit.

The Plymouth Center for the Arts is a beautiful gallery space located in the heart of historic Plymouth, MA, just steps from Plymouth Rock and other early American history sites. Even on these raw spring days it’s a great day trip. The Center is home to the New England Watercolor Society, and always has a number of great exhibits on view.

The Center is open Wednesdays- Saturdays 10am – 4pm, and Sundays 1-4pm.

“Coastal Chaos” and “Then There’s the Wildness” on view now at the Rhode Island Watercolor Society Making Your Mark online Exhibit

Coast Chaos, Watercolor + ink on paper, 2026
Then There’s the Wildness, Watercolor on paper, 2026

The Rhode Island Watercolor Society warms up the winter months by hosting online juried shows and I’m so glad to be included in this exhibit, Making Your Mark. Mark making is the use of lines, dots or other patterns as part of creating an image. It can be cross hatching or strokes of paint or ink – for me, sometimes it’s a struggle to assure that the marks don’t overwhelm the composition. The process itself is so satisfying to me that sometimes I have to leave a piece for days or weeks and come back to it to see if it’s successful or work on it some more (or pitch it).

You can view the full exhibit at the link above or see it on Facebook.

Viewable until March 27, 2026.

Time to Get Out of the House! On Display Now Through March 26, 2026, at Concord Art: “Deconstructing Me.”

Deconstructing Me, collage 2025

Located in the heart of Concord, MA, this gallery never disappoints, and there are lots of places to see, walk and eat nearby.

“A State of Perpetual Surprise” to appear in the Rhode Island Watercolor Society’s Juried Simply Watercolor Show, November 15-December 12, 2025

I’m certainly glad the wonderful people at the Rhode Island Watercolor Society seem to understand my art, as evidenced by their acceptance of this whimsical piece. Sometimes I feel like my work is a bit of comic relief in an angsty and serious time and that’s perfectly fine with me – but the tiny figure in the window in this piece represents something important to me. I can’t presume to know what it might evoke in the viewer, but comments are encouraged.

Watercolor + ink, 2025

Simply watercolor opens on November 15, with the opening reception on Saturday, November 22 at 1pm.
