I’m very excited that I’ll be in Kansas City’s Plaza Art Fair, September 19, 20, 21, 2008. I will have some new pieces to exhibit so plan to stop by. When I get my booth assignment I’ll post it to the site.

For those of you who are not familiar with the Plaza Art Fair. “The Plaza Art Fair marks the beginning of autumn for all Kansas Citians, and attracts art enthusiasts from all over the nation. This annual celebration is located on the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City, Mo., recognized as the oldest shopping center in the country and a beloved destination in Kansas City. The Plaza Art Fair exhibits have grown in quality and creativity over seven decades to become a nationally recognized fine art event. The three-day celebration of the arts allows visitors to experience the personalities and diverse talents of world-class artists firsthand. Beyond the colorful collections of art, this extraordinary event offers even more. With delicious food, magnificent music and interactive art experiences for all ages, there is something new around every corner.” Plaza Art Fair 2008 www.countryclubplaza.com

Open Studios was a success. I enjoyed meeting a lot of new people and friends who stopped by to see my new pieces. Thank you for making this show so enjoyable.

Coming event:
I’ve been working on a lot of new paintings this winter. Leawood Fine Art & Gallery is sponsoring a show at the Town & Country Bank on Friday, June 6. I was showing with another artist who has some wonderful pastels…Chris Jackman. Thank you to all my supporters who came to the opening.

The last two years have been busy, but I’m gearing up for an eventful fall. I’ve been experimenting with different mediums and styles and, as a result, the Open Studios venue will host my latest pieces. For those who love the “Iron Deposits on Stones” and the “Koi” — I am still creating the subjects I love, however it’s just fun to try new things.
