I am pleased with the reception of the work in the retrospective exhibit and the friends and new collectors I met. It was only there for a week, but for some to couldn't make it to the gallery, several shopped online and made purchases through PayPal.If you are interested in making an offer on a particular painting, I will accept reasonible offers until the end of this week,the 22nd of February. International shipping is available. Thanks

all of my new collectors.

My retrospective show Feb. 7

This is a busy time for me as I will be hosting a guest from New Zealand for six days while we explore the encaustic medium and techniques, and possibly delve into some cold wax and oil painting as well. A few days after that, my retrospective exhibition opens for a weeklong showing at the Casa de la Noche in San Miguel. At my advanced age, I want to bring many paintings out of storage and into their forever homes. This will be a special show where I invite collectors and visitors to make offers on my work. You will have the opportunity to own one of my paintings at a reduced price. All reasonable offers will be accepted. If you are not in town, you can check my website to view the paintings available for purchase. The show opens on February 7th from 2 PM to 5 PM and closes on February 16th, featuring an artist's talk at 3 PM. With 65 years as a working artist, I’m not finished yet. I look forward to making room for more creative adventures and continuing to teach the exciting encaustic technique. Here are some comments about my work: "Stunning! Literally every piece in this video is outstanding! Thank you so very much for introducing yourself to those of us who hadn’t had the opportunity to meet you previously." "An enjoyable journey through the years of seeing your work! Great diversity in line and color, keeping the creative door open. It is the equivalent of a writer's portfolio of poetry, short stories, essays, and novels." "Such gorgeous work from the very beginning and continuing today. Thank you for sharing with us. I am truly touched."
