It was so nice to hear that Needham Community Education wanted to feature me in their latest Instructor Spotlight.  In addition to teaching private art instruction, I also teach Acrylic Painting, Pencil Drawing, and Colored Pencil Drawing (and more!) through Needham Community Adult Education.  Here is link to the Instructor Spotlight...

This weekend, I participated in a wonderful juried art festival in Needham, Massachusetts.  The 2017 Needham Winter Arts Festival was held at Town Hall and featured over 30 local artists exhibiting their work.   It was wonderful to be a part of this event which attracted hundreds of people (despite the first snowfall of the season) and featured musicians and singers performing holiday tunes onstage.  The event was made possible through support from the Town of Needham and the Massachusetts Cultural Council Festival Grant Program.

I decided to post this blog article because two paintings of mine found a new home!  The paintings, shown here, "Honey, I'm Home" and "Love Shines #2" were both sold and is now part of a private collection, bringing smiles to people residing in Wellesley, Massachusetts.  The "Honey, I'm Home!" painting is acrylic paint on canvas and is 18" x 24".  I was inspired to paint the house upon being invited to exhibit in a group show with the theme, "House."  Before being sold, the "Honey, I'm Home!" painting was exhibited at the Morse Public Library, in Natick, MA in October 2016. It was also exhibited at the Attleboro Arts Museum December 9, 2016-February 2, 2017.  I love this painting because of all the mosaic illusion elements, the representation of bushes, and how I used a broken line to indicate the front doorway.

​The second painting sold, "Love Shines #2" is a 10" x 10" acrylic on board painting with resin and ground glass. "Love Shines #2" was one of my most recent paintings completed within the past month!  This was one of my first few paintings that features my use of acrylic paint and ground glass with multiple layers of resin.  I love using hearts in my artwork to convey the emotion of love, passion, romance, and fun!  I really do feel that love does shine, and in the case of my artwork, it does too through the use of ground glass that reflects the sparkling light!

The accompanying painting, "Love Shines #1" is still available, and I'm glad that it received a lot of positive praise at the Arts Festival.  I'm currently working on another series of 10 paintings, all 10" x 10" with acrylic paint, ground glass, and resin. So stay tuned for more information on those paintings once I'm done with them in my studio.  They are going to be awesome and a LOT of FUN!  OMG!

I also sold out all my puzzles and blankets featuring my artwork as well as sold a lot of greeting cards, coasters, candles, limited edition prints, and notepads too!  The 2017 Needham Winter Arts Festival was a great and successful event!  I'm looking forward to participating in it again next year!

I'm thrilled that these paintings sold to folks who absolutely loved them and I hope that they will enjoy their original paintings for many years to come!
