This is “not your stuffy wine shop!” So I am excited to be showcasing a selection of my Landscapes, Wine Bottle Stills, and Big Fruit paintings that celebrate Oregon and her rich bounty of fruit and wines at Sip D’vine, a wine shop featuring Northwest wines in historic Multnomah Village. This special collection will be on display March 27 through June 30, 2013, so you have plenty of time to get over there and check it out. Besides, you need an excuse to try some new wine, right?
The Oregon Society of Artists promotes the artistic and professional interests of its members by providing exhibiting opportunities, and the 2013 Spring Art Show is one of those great exhibits. And since I am an OSA member, you will see one of my own popular landscapes featuring a favorite Oregon locale! So support Oregon artists and check out this juried art show running March 10 through April 5, 2013. And don’t miss the artists’ reception March 10, 1-4 pm with ribbons awarded at 2:30 pm by Jurist Lee Lauritzen. Who knows? Maybe one of the featured artists is even a neighbor of yours!

If you haven’t been to the Oregon coast recently, then you need to visit Proper Eats in charming downtown St Johns between February 4 and March 31, 2013, for a proper view of my seascapes. In addition to my latest and greatest paintings, including Hug Point, I will also have some giclée canvas prints available for sale and ready to hang.
And please join me for an artist reception Tuesday, February 12, 5-8pm, when you can share wine, snacks, and your favorite beach spot or ocean view with me! I am always looking for new inspiration and unique Oregon locales!
If you are a fan of “the friendliest store in town” and locally grown produce, come check out a home grown collection of my Big Fruit paintings at the Progress Ridge New Seasons Market this February. My work will be hanging in the deli from February 4 through March 4, 2013.
And if all my rich, colorful, juicy fruit is not enough to tempt you, then join me for their First Thursday event, February 7, 2013, 5-8pm, when they will be celebrating Mardi Gras. They will be serving up Cajun food samples throughout the store as well as beer tasting at the bar and mask decorating for the kids. Their First Thursday events are fun and very popular. So don’t miss out on the festivities! And for instant gratification, I will also have some affordable giclée prints available to purchase and ready to hang.
New Seasons Market Progress Ridge 14805 SW Barrows Road, Suite 103 Beaverton, OR 97007Although most of my recent landscapes are snapshots of our beautiful Oregon Coast, my latest landscape is a painting of Oregon’s Rogue River, known for its salmon runs, 
whitewater rafting, and rugged scenery. And now I am pleased to announce that Rogue River I was selected for the 2013 Oregon Artist Showcase at the Chehalem Cultural Center. This juried exhibition, entitled “Inside Outside – The Space Between,” will present a variety of diverse and engaging works of art that explore the environment and spaces around us.
Since my landscape paintings personalize environmental awareness and explore the relationship between the viewer and their surrounding natural environment, Rogue River I is a perfect addition to a show emphasizing nature, ecology, personal, and internal spaces as well as space and time and the places/spaces between.
The show runs January 15 – February 22, 2013 with a First Friday ArtWalk artists reception Friday, February 1, 5-8 pm.
