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.
It Will Be Summer Eventually (2025) 19.5 x 14.5″ 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.
Below are some thumbnails of the available pieces – all original, one-of-a-kind work. Please visit the sale page for the full selection, prices, dimensions, shipping information and more!

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.
Spring Rising is a small work in watercolor, measuring about 12×12 inches, framed.
Cape Cod has a vibrant arts community, due in large part to the Arts Foundation’s terrific work supporting and showcasing artists. The summer Gala and Online Auction raises money that funds grants to support local artists.
The Gala + Auction is on June 6, but you can pre-register now. The catalog is not up yet, but I will post again when it’s viewable.
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.
