Fruits of Our Labor

Suzy — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 04:22:04 +0000

This exhibition is perfect for my work! I am pleased to announce that I have been invited to be part of Fruits of Our Labor, a show at the Cannon Beach Gallery that is thematically related to growing, preparing and enjoying food. I will be showing some of my People in Landscape paintings along with my Big Fruit paintings. Other works will include blown glass cupcakes by Jon Cook and oil paintings by Brian Cameron.

So don’t miss the artist reception 6-8pm on Saturday, March 3. But if you can’t make it to the opening, make sure to plan a trip out to the coast between March 1 and April 2, 2012 and celebrate the natural bounty of our beautiful state!
