This month, the theme for the group show at Touchstone is Gardens; did I have a painting that fit that theme? Why yes, yes I do…

“Impressions of the Garden” is at Touchstone Gallery beginning March 25, 2026, to April 26, 2026. Framed size is 38”h x 30” w, acrylic on paper.

“My Grandmother’s Bowl” (16” wide x 20” high, acrylic on canvas) was on display at the Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC, as part of the “Women Artists of the DMV” exhibit.

“Bluebells in April” is one of my new designs on Redbubble—looks great on a mug and on so much else!

Here’s that same pattern on a backpack!

The August, 2020 Issue of Watercolor Artist covers many aspects of my work in watercolors, in an article titled “Falling Down and Painting Again”. While its main focus is on the impact of my concussion and recovery, it also touches on my “sea-formed” work and my work for sale at “Jane Austen Art” on Zazzle.
