Recognition by the Illinois Arts Council

I am very happy to announce that I have just been accepted into the Illinois Artisans Program.
The Illinois Artisan Program was created to focus national attention on the art and artist of Illinois. The Program markets Illinois arts through locations at the James R. Thompson Center, Chicago; the Museum Store at the Illinois State Museum in Springfield; the Museum Shop at the Dickson Mounds Museum at Dickson; and the Southern Illinois Artisans Shop at Rend Lake. This new oppertunity will ensure greater public access to my work. I invite everyone to come view my paintings in person. I will post dates and locations when they become avaliable.

I am busy creating a new studio since we moved to Carbondale and have two new paintings on the easel. I hope to create a slide show for these paintings and will be posting them here.
