“To be Wild with Nothing to be Wild About” wins the Jack Thor Ahlin Award from the Cape Cod Art Center

Jack Thor Ahlin was a much beloved and accomplished artist on Cape Cod, and I am honored to receive the prize that bears his name. This national juried show is my first with the Cape Cod Art Center.

The Cape Cod Art Center’s Autumn National Exhibit is on view October 20 – November 15, 2025 – this is a perfect time to visit this beautiful gallery in Yarmouth, MA.

There is lots to see in Yarmouth while you’re in the area, including beautiful Gray’s Beach.

An Honorable Mention for “Inception” from the Sandwich Arts Alliance

The June Kershaw Open Exhibit includes some extraordinary works in a variety of media, so I’m especially pleased that we earned an honorable mention in the watercolor category. As party of this juried show of 50 works selected from hundreds of entries, judge Hillary Osborn called this Inception “very innovative” – it does stray from traditional watercolor and so I’m particularly glad to be to show it and be recognized.

Thanks to the Sandwich Arts Alliance for the opportunity to submit and share this work. You can visit the show in person until September 2, 2025, at the old Sandwich Town Hall or view it online.

I’m so pleased to have a chance to share this piece, which sprang from my imagination during a long winter emerging from COVID.

The Sandwich Arts Alliance is a wonderful creative resource for artists and writers on Cape Cod. It’s home is in the old Sandwich, Massachusetts, Town Hall, where you can view exhibits, take classes and browse their shop that’s full of books, cards, images and lots of original art.
