I Need Your Input for my NEW SERIES titled ADD YOUR MARK

Friends, I am starting a new series of paintings ~
they require YOU!

Update: please see comment section below for updates!

I’ve asked the gallery that represents my art (SEH Studios Art Gallery, Dover NH) to allow me to come into the gallery to meet people and invite them to add their mark to my current art. Add Your Mark!

I am looking to incorporate the energy that I receive from interacting with others, and surrounding myself with beautiful art, into my next series.
You probably know that I am an intuitive artist, in that I paint from imagination without reference ~ I call it a process of response, similar to dancing with a partner.

I would like to respond to you.
I will have mark making media available, and my current pieces ~ and I want you to come visit the gallery and make your mark.

You can write words, or any image or mark, gesture, expression that you feel inspired to add. It can be a response to what is there, or the first marks made on a blank substrate.

Details with times and dates will be announced by the gallery soon.
I will gallery sit and be available to chat art and paint my paintings ~ hopefully with you!!
You might want to subscribe to the gallery’s email list (you’re already subscribed to MFD VIP ART, right??!?? …if not, sign up using the contact form 👌

I’m The Featured Artist for
the Summer Exhibition

I am one of a handful of talented artists curated by Susan Hannah, the gallery owner and artist, currently exhibiting at this quaint gallery on the main street of Dover, NH, 456 Central Avenue.

Being Featured Artist for the exhibition, I was also provided the opportunity to be the artist speaker at the opening reception.

The reception was early in June, but the exhibition continues into August.

My artist talk was a great success, mostly because of the event itself and the people who attended (my talk could have been better, I skipped a couple of important points that I couldn’t remember! argh! lol! nobody seemed to mind!)

There was live music for the first hour ~ so beautiful ~ and then a good number of guests attended, as well as the artists & their guests. The time flew by!

My Artist Talk relates to my Wampum story

I’m drafting part 3 of the Wampum Story series of blog posts.
I will share more about my artist talk there, but VIPs have the full 45 minutes of recorded video content in their MFD VIP ART folder👍
