Painting Demonstration at Frelinghuysen Morris House & Studio Friday, 8/19 @ 11am

August 15, 2022 in Demonstration

I will be giving a demonstration of my oil glazing technique on the beautiful grounds of Frelinghuysen Morris House & Studio (FMH&S) in Lenox, MA this Firday, 8/19. I will be there between 11am and 1pm, but no one has to sit for the whole thing! If you have always wondered how my work is made or are interested in the art process in general this is a great time to come see it and take in a wonderful museum at the same time. (For full disclosure, I am Assistant to the Director at FMH&S, so expect me to sing their praises.)

The demonstration is included with any admission to FMH&S. Purchase your tickets on their website or follow the link here.

Frelinghuysen Morris House & Studio is a modern style house museum built by two abstract painters most known for their work in the 1930s and 40s when they were pivotal in the development of abstract art in America. Beyond helping develop American abstract art, they were also avid collectors of modern paintings including work by Braque, Picasso, Gris, and Leger. The house is open, by hourly guided tours only, from 10-3 Thursday through Friday. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the arts.

Art of the Hills, June 2nd opening!

May 29, 2018 in Exhibit

I was accepted into the Art of the Hills exhibit opening this Saturday, June 2nd from 5:30-7:30pm. This is a juried exhibit of Berkshire based artists. With over 200 artists submitting, and only 36 chosen, I am extremely honored to be represented in the exhibit. I haven't seen the other works entered, but knowing some of the artists this looks like a fantastic sample of the best the Berkshires has to offer.

And if one of my paintings isn't enough for you, stop by the Artful Mind Gallery at 22 Walker St., Lenox, MA for more of my work. New work every month through the summer! For more visit my earlier post.

I am pleased to announce I will be showing work in the Artful Mind Gallery in Lenox, MA from May through August. The gallery is brand new and will be showing the work of 17 artists, including myself. Stop in and see all of the amazing artwork the Berkshires has to offer!

The Artful Mind Gallery, located at 22 Walker Street in Lenox, MA that opens May 1, 2018 will showcase an enthusiastic and finely tuned professional and passionate group of seventeen artists. About her decision to bring these artists together in this particular location, Curator Harryet Puritzman explains that, “if the space weren’t as beautiful and complimentary for artists’ work to be seen and swooned over, then I would never have considered taking on this very special project,” a summer gallery space in the heart of Lenox.

The community and its visitors will be treated to the work of, Tyler Blodgett, Marguerite Bride, Roselle Chartock, Robert Forte, Susan Geller, Ghetta Hirsch, Karen S. Jacobs, Bruce Panock, Jennifer Pazienza, Edward Pelkey, Janet Pumphrey, Wendy Rabinowitz, Mary Carol Rudin, Sean McCusker, Scott Taylor, Robert U. Taylor and Robert Wilk.
