Invitation to come visit me in my studio #320
at the Button Factory, 855 Islington Street
Portsmouth NH - text for times
2025
This will be a spectacular year for me. The year starts with a BIG front window display at the Gallery @ Jimmy 's on Main Street in Portsmouth - and an exhibition in a fabulous hidden gem of a gallery SeeSaw in Manchester, a live on line interview with Amy Reagan, and a fun group of swingin artists at Haley Gallery in Kittery. Biggest news is a HUGE exhibition of my best abstracted seascapes at THE CLIFF HOUSE and my favorite, long term gallery Art 3....and its still early in 2025.

I am so grateful to be enlarging my art community with local artists and art leaders - The Seacoast of NH and Maine is so full of interesting folks with great ideas and passionate purposes. I can feel this filtering into my studio work and I feel more connected. Teaching continues to be very important to me as my monthly workshop calendar reveals - I never get a chance to share all the fun artwork in my studio - so please come by - my studio is open!

My Button Factory Studio 320 (855 Islington Street,Portsmouth NH 03801) has a fabulous two-story brick wall which allows multiple large paintings to engage in a spicy conversation -- adding cohesion and energy to my current artwork . PLUS - the big space and free parking encourages a steady stream of visitors ~ Come on over! text 603 235-6004
My teaching continues - adding private coaching and mentoring to my ongoing workshops and studio classes. I am really enjoying working with adult artists - helping them navigate the inevitable challenges and celebrating their successes.
