Auction and show and festival oh my!

I’ve got some exciting events in the coming weeks that I’d love to share with you (and see you at)!

First, come find me at the Surfrider Summer Soiree at the Holocene on July 25. It’s not just for surfers– the Surfrider Foundation works to keep beaches clean and preserve healthy habitats. I’ll be auctioning off two original surf-themed paintings as well as selling plenty of giclees. Buy your tickets and find more information on Surfrider’s website. Enjoy the evening at a great club and check out the art show and auction, live music, a film, and more, all to benefit the Clean Water Campaign.

Too far north for you? I’m one of the jurors for the Annual Southern Oregon Arts Show in Grants Pass. The show opens on August 1 in Rogue Community College’s FireHouse Gallery (check out the gallery’s website) and I’ll be there presenting awards and checking out the great art. Join me there!

Finally, I’m coming back up to run my booth at the West Linn Fine Arts Festival at Marylhurst University on Saturday, August 3, and Sunday, August 4. I’ll be sharing a booth with the watercolorist Jane Levy Campbell. We’ll both be be offering painting demos and selling giclees, plaques, notecards, and original art. It looks like it’ll be a fun weekend with over 100 other participating artists! Take a look at the festival’s website for details.

I’m looking forward to seeing you at these events. Come say hi and let’s share some art. See you there!
