Michigan Shoreline

"Michigan Lakeshore"

After a busy few weeks, I'm finally back to painting! 

First up...a view of Lake Michigan's shoreline in the summer. I needed to paint a summer scene, something with lots of color. Winter is getting to me. I'm sick and tired of cleaning off my car every morning, of freezing fingers and runny noses. Of chapped lips and wet footprints tracked across the apartment. I know, I know....it's Northern Michigan in January. What did I think the weather was going to be like? Right? Ah well, I still miss the summer sunshine and the warmth of it on my skin. THREE MORE MONTHS!

 (I hope...) 

In the mean time I suppose I'll have to be content with painting scenes like this and imagining I'm on the beach, toes in the sand, a bag of Sun Chips and an ice cold Coke in my hand. Can't you almost hear the waves? 

Our Book Is Out!

I recently did some illustrations for a friend's book. We are happy to announce it has gone LIVE on Amazon Kindle! To check it out, click here! 

"Simple Roots" Show Opening

Thanks to everyone who made it out to my show opening the other night! I know the weather was lousy and it meant a lot that you still ventured out. If you haven't been able to see the show yet it's up through the 28th at Forest Hills Fine Art Center in the lobby. 

Forest Hills Residency

Forgive my absence from posting I've been a busy girl lately!

On Monday I was in Ann Arbor setting up adult workshops for this spring with the Ann Arbor Art Center. Stay tuned for dates! 

After that I came to Grand Rapids to fulfill my residency with Forest Hills Public Schools. In conjunction with my show "Simple Roots" this month at Forest Hills Fine Art Center I also got to travel to the different high schools and spend a few hours working with their art classes. We worked on painting winter scenes in watercolor. I was impressed with the results. Fun! 

Don't forget, if you're in the Grand Rapids this Thursday you're welcome to come to my reception at Forest Hills Fine Art Center! I'd love to see you! It's from 6-7:30pm. Its free and children are welcome!

**MISSING THIS SUMMER WEATHER!**

As the weather has taken a turn, I've had to postpone my trip to Grand Rapids until later this week. I was supposed to install my show "Simple Roots" today at Forest Hills Fine Art Center. Instead I'll stay in my warm apartment while the temperature outside continues to drop and the snow blows in across the bay. 

Wintertime in northern Michigan. I think I'm gonna go make a mug of hot coco.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

ok...so I'm a few days late...

But how about some bright sunny sunflowers to start 2014 off right? I love sunflowers, love driving past fields of them in the golden summer afternoon light with the windows down. Summer just flows through the whole car. It's the simple things in life. 

 This month, don't forget to swing by Forest Hills Fine Art Center in Grand Rapids to see my show, "Simple Roots." The theme is all things farm, from tractors to sunflower fields. An appreciation for the simple things in life. Seeing a theme yet?

If you'd like to come on a night when I'll be around come for the reception on Thursday, January 16th from 6-7pm. I'd love to meet you!
