The Rhode Island Watercolor Society has honored me by including “Hockney Flowers” in the in it’s 2025 National Watercolor Show, running May 31st – July 3, 2025.
This is one of my favorite pieces and I am glad that it will be shown in a gallery where its true colors can be appreciated.
The RIWS is a wonderful place to visit in the summer, with a charming carousel just across the street.
In addition to exhibiting art at their Pawtucket gallery, the Rhode Island Watercolor Society holds a number of online shows each year, and the current exhibit, In the City is where you can find this work.
Juror Bill Lane remarked:
“The color palette caught my attention, the drawing caught my intrigue, and the playfulness made me smile. Great depiction of a busy city scene with masterful shapes and details throughout the watercolor. What fun!!”
Bill is a master watercolorist – I’m a huge fan of his work and so pleased to be chosen from such a beautiful group of paintings in a variety of media.
“Greener Pastures” was inspired by my youth – a mashup of my love for the greens of Iowa summers, my yearning to escape to the big city, and my obsession with the Wizard of Oz.
I went through a phase, post Covid, where painting from photos or from life was challenging, and I relied on my memories and imagination to fuel my art. It was frustrating at first but I like the evolution that occurred.
It never gets old – the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod’s Gala and Auction is always the best way to kick off the summer, and this year they’ve accepted two of my paintings, “Nothing But Flowers” and “It Will Be Summer Eventually”. The Gala is on Wednesday, June 4, but the auction will be online – it’s live now and open for bidding.
Such a thrill to be honored by the Sandwich Arts Alliance at my first show there. Located in the heart of Sandwich in the grand old Town Hall building, there is so much to see in this show. If you find yourself on Cape Cod this summer it is worth a stop to see the show and also stop by their gift shop.
Windy Day at Wood Neck is for sale though the Alliance, as is my other piece in the show, On the Rocks, seen below.
On the Rocks, watercolor, $250.
Both works are framed.
“Before humans even walked this earth, nature has been creating unmatched beauty. As the world modernizes it is important to remember the natural beauty that lies all around us, to be enjoyed and protected.”
I’m so pleased that the juror, Erin Spencer, selected my watercolor of our corner of New England to be included in the Natural Wonders show.
Opening reception at the Rhode Island Watercolor Society on Saturday, May 1 at 1pm. 831 Armistice Road, Pawtucket, RI.
It’s 12 x 18 inches, matted and framed (black), $500.
If you haven’t visited the RIWS before, it’s in a beautiful spot across the street from The Looff Carousel at Slater Park.
I’m selling art!

This small works fundraiser features some wonderful art by some of the Cape’s best. Unlike the summer auction, the art for sale is fixed priced on a buy-it-now basis. Shipping is available. The sale closes Monday, December 13, at 11:59pm.
The Arts Foundation of Cape Cod helps working artists on Cape Cod keep working, and I’m so pleased to have two paintings in this sale. I hope you’ll take a look.
