The Winds Over Tuckerman's, 10"x14" watercolor on paper framed to 16"x20", $730

I am so happy that my watercolor of Tuckerman's Ravine will make its exhibit debut on the walls of Bryan Gallery in their show Summit Lines, May 6-July 5, Opening Reception May 10, 1-3pm. 

Bryan Memorial Gallery
180 Main Street

I'm grateful to my son for the photo references that inspired the painting. He goes on some extensive outdoor adventures and takes crazy beautiful photos like this scene in early Spring when scores of back country skiers hike up the side of Mount Washington to Tuckerman's Ravine to ski down the daunting headwall and chutes between the rocks.

I loved painting the air and atmosphere of iconic Tuckerman's Ravine - those gusty winds blowing off the top of the ridge, rolling the snow over the rocks and into the bright snowy bowl gleaming in the sun.

March 6 - May 6, 2026
Spring Into Art - NEWS Gallery

New England Watercolor Society
at the Plymouth Center for the Arts
11 North Street Plymouth, MA 02360

Reception: April 25, 6-8pm
Gallery hours: 
Wednesday - Saturday, 11am - 4pm, Sunday: 12pm to 4pm


Bon voyage to my gouache painting, Phlox & Pony, on its way to Plymouth MA for Spring Into Art annual juried show featuring Spring themed works by members of New England Watercolor Society.
Since it needed to be framed behind plexi for this show, I took the opportunity to replace the mat and frame it was originally in with a simple off-white mat and thin black wood frame. I think it looks so much better now that the focus is on the painting without a distracting colored frame and mat.

Two of my watercolors were selected for a new exhibit at the Monument Center for the Arts & Culture in Bennington VT. Winter Branches and Cemetery Tree will hang in Small Works; Winter Stillness opening February 12 and running through April 19. There's a closing reception on April 17, 5-7pm.

This is a beautiful, large venue with several gallery spaces, an amazing auditorium, and vast workshop areas. Formerly the Bennington Center for the Arts, the venue has undergone some changes over the years and is re-emerging as the heart of the Bennington art scene. I am so excited to show my work  at this wonderful location!

The Monument Center for the Arts is located at 44 Gypsy Lane, Bennington VT. Hours are Thursday-Sunday, 12-4pm.

What a nice surprise and a welcome bit of validation to have one of my oils receive an award. Kiss of Sunset, 11"x15" oil on canvas board, won one of the four awards in North Country Arts' annual Fine Art Exhibit this year. Many thanks to juror Robin Brewer for the recognition and her kind comments about how the piece resonated with her. Many thanks to NCA for the prize accompanying the award and for presenting the show every year in the Friends Gallery at Crandall Public Library. The show runs to December 30.
