After a little break, I'm going back on the Tour this year! The dates are the first two weekends in November: 4-5 and 11-12 (noon to 6pm). I'll be a guest at Andrea Loomis' studio in NW Austin at 8303 Pommel Dr. and would love to see everyone who's in town! Will also be posting on social media for those who want to join in virtually :-)

I'm debuting a new series of abstract drawings called "Kaleidescapes"-- something a little different, but true to my love and fascination with abstract art (Miro; Mondrian; Calder). Hope you can make it, or message me, and let's talk Art!

My host this year for the tour was Andrea Loomis Art Studio, and it was fabulous! We exhibited during all three weeks of the Tour (1st 3 weekends of November), and were finally able to 'talk art' with the public after a Loooong break! I showcased my new series of abstract drawings, "Isolation Creations," which were created during the lockdown; Andrea exhibited her exotic glass creations; our friend Kevin Luo displayed his beautiful Chinese calligraphy, and emerging artist (and YouTuber) Alia Jehan showed off her pop-culture inspired paintings! What a blast!

Join us in saying Hello to Summer at the CAS online art bazaar! You'll find a variety of artwork by Creative Arts Society members; something for every taste and budget! Selections from my new series of abstract drawings are also available here--take a look at: www.creativeartssociety.org/store/c9/Su….

The Austin Studio Tour is going virtual for the very first time! This year, the "East" and "West" tours are combined into one virtual package from 11/14-11/22. Over 400 Austin artists will be sharing their new works and online experiences, including outdoor sites where you can safely view art installations. Click on the following link to see my new artwork, and take a virtual tour of my studio!
