Hi there guys! Hang on to your hats, I’ve got a whirlwind of fun things to share with you! First up: 33 Artist’s Market at the Hive on November 5th! This is going to be a great art market-I’m going to have to do some shopping myself!
I’ve moved into the Hive and I’m excited to really get dug in on my special project about Spokane mythology, geology and history! I’m collecting stories about people’s experiences with the landscape and family “tall tales” so if you have any or know anyone who does, please get in touch!
Location: The Hive®, 2904 E Sprague Ave Spokane, WA
Saturday November 5th, 10-6
The best kind of holiday gift is a local one! Check out this one-of-a-kind local art market featuring a variety of items including jewelry, original paintings, prints, clothing, book arts, & more. Artists will demo techniques at their tables.
This art market will feature 33 different local artists with affordable works that'd make the perfect gift for someone you know this holiday season.
The inspiration behind this event was sparked by one of our Artists-In-Residence at The Hive®, Gwyn Pevonka, who wanted to bring artists together to show and sell their work. This show is a perfect time to check out The Hive®, meet and learn from artists, and purchase artwork in a setting where 100% of the purchase price goes to the artist! The participating artists benefit much more this way since no showing commission or fee is required.

Next up! Awards and fun sales!
Very honored that this painting, “Haystack Sparkle,” has been accepted into the Northwest Watercolor Society’s 2022 82nd Annual International Open Show. It was chosen by Juror Andy Evansen as one of 75 paintings shown in this exhibition. It’s really incredible to be picked because over 330 artists submitted over 650 paintings, from all around the world!
“You Gonna Eat That” was shown in Terrain 13, which was a WILD one day show put by Terrain during October’s First Friday and I’m so pleased that it SOLD!
Had a ton of fun at the NW Museum of Art and Culture, showing people how to make this painting for a Paint & Sip last week. It was a great group with a few familiar faces-I’m always honored when someone wants to take a class with me more than once. It’s a big compliment! I enjoy doing this demos-they are a reminder to loosen up and have fun as I’m painting on a vertical board (watercolor is usually painted flat or at a slight angle, unlike oils or acrylics) and I go for it directly in pen, no pencil lines underneath so however things turn out, I just have to roll with it, which I hope is a good example for my students!
Recent Work!
I’m continuing working on paintings inspired by my two trips to the coast last year and I’ll have these pieces with me at the 33 Artists Market at the Hive.
I love the light in this painting. it was a struggle to get here. This is my third try!
The way stormy weather moves in and out at the Oregon Coast is endlessly inspiring!
