I’m so gratified that the Cape Cod Art Center appreciates my less traditional watercolor art, which allows me to process and share a lot of ideas for which words are inadequate. As a newly-minted juried artist at the Center, it’s great to be in the company of so many artists I admire and I look forward to seeing the full show.
The opening reception is on Friday, October 23, 2026 from 5-7pm.
The Autumn National exhibit is on view Monday through Friday 9am-4pm, through Friday, November 13, 2026.
This small 8×8″ (12×12″ framed) watercolor depicts one of my favorite views on Cape Cod. When I can, I wander down the street each morning and evening to see what the changing light brings – and it is different every single time.
It’s part of the Rhode Island Watercolor Society’s “Seasons” exhibit on view until November 6. The Society is open Thursdays and Fridays 10am – 4pm and Saturdays 10am – 3pm. As I’ve noted before, the Society is located in a lovely area of Pawtucket, RI, that is especially beautiful this time of year.
The Sandwich, MA, boardwalk is one of my favorite salt marshes. Whenever people come to visit, we try to make time to visit the boardwalk. This painting, now on view at the Sandwich Arts Alliance, captures the October light I love so much.
Salt marshes leave the Midwesterner in me dumbfounded with delight – they are different every time you look at them. On the shore the tides move in and out pretty much the same way no matter where you are, but the marshes give you not just the blues and purples of the water, but extraordinary greens, pinks and oranges and their reflections.
The Arts Alliance is in the historic old Sandwich Town Hall, and open Tuesday – Saturday, 11-4.
This is a recent favorite and it’s included with a lot of beautiful work by NEWS members at the Plymouth Center for the Arts in Plymouth, MA.
Inspired by my 2025 visit to France, I feel like I finally captured a bit of the light and heat of those wonderful days at Clos Mirabel in the French Pyrenees.
Autumn is a great time to visit the Watercolor Society’s dedicated space at the Center because there’s so much to see there and in historic Plymouth.
If you haven’t seen Plymouth Rock yet, New Englanders are endlessly amused by the giant monument that protects the diminutive rock.
This is a fun way to close out the summer. As a newly minted juried member of the Cape Cod Art Center, it’s gratifying to be recognized for this whimsical piece.
The Purple Exhibition is on view Monday through Friday 9am-4pm, through Friday, September 11, 2026.
Thanks to Cindy Vallino, the Juror for this competition.
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.
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.
Looks like there will be some rain coming to the Cape this week – why not take in some art when you’re not at the beach?
There’s lots to see at the Cape Cod Art Center in Barnstable, and if you’re on the Cape full-time or just for the summer, the Center offers some great classes for all ages.
This juried exhibit, which runs until August 14, 2026, has some great work from artist on the Cape and beyond, and I’m honored to be included.
As a newly minted juried member of the Cape Cod Art Center, I’m glad they chose this piece to include in their juried summer nationals exhibit. I went through the review process earlier this spring and will post about that sometime soon.

Open 9am-4pm
Monday through Friday
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:
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, 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.
