Art Con 5 was a big success. My painting raised a lot of money for a worthy cause which is all I can ask for. Thanks to everyone who bid!


******************************************

Well, I am pregnant and not doing much painting right for the next few months so I have decided to start selling prints! You can purchase unframed prints via PayPal on this site or contact me for framed versions available. Several framed prints and two originals are currently on display at The Listening Room inside Club Dada in Deep Ellum. If you would like to purchase a print that is not available on this site or at The Listening Room, please contact me.


******************************************

Thank you to everyone who has contacted me lately wondering about upcoming shows. I am going to participate in Art Conspiracy 4 in December but that is all I will have time for until the end of the year. I am so busy with my photography this time of year that painting has to take a back seat until the holidays are over. I am still accepting commission orders though. My turn-around time on commissions right now is about 8 weeks due to the backlog, so if you can wait that long contact me here for an order!

My painting for the cover of the Old 97's CD ( Dunce Caps) was recently used for a poster for the Barack Obama campaign. Yippee!!!!! GOBAMA!!!

******************************************

A successful show at Weber Shandwick. I made the cover of the catalogue and sold my piece, "Our Secret". I forgot to mention this show because I have been so busy. I have some commissions to work on and Art Conspiracy coming up in December but that's about all I have time for. I will have oodles more time to paint in January when business slows down. So check back, and if you want to buy something new come to Art Con 4!!!
