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.

The show opens on July 22 – the gallery reception is on July 31 from 5:30-7:30pm. The SAA is open Tuesday – Saturday 11 – 4.

We recently participated in the SAA’s Hydrangea Week art sale, spending a gorgeous July day in the shade sharing our work with people from near and far.

This was such a validating experience. I’ve been doing art like this for so long and this is a moment where my new skills and my old inspirations came together.

The Juror was Bill Lane, a watercolorist whose work I admire. He has certainly mastered the art of the bloom in watercolor painting.

The show is up at the society until May 24, 2024. It’s located in a lovely spot in Pawtucket, with a charming carousel across the street.
