When we first moved here in October 2025, we went on the Over the Mountain Studio Tour. I was so impressed with the talents of the artists and how welcoming they were to all those who came to their studios. It was something I hoped I could be a part of it someday. Well, someday is now! I applied in January and, after the jurors came out to my studio, I received the good news that I’d been accepted. I’m so honored to have been asked to join. Begun in 1989, this is the oldest studio tour in WV. The tour takes place the second weekend in November and there is a “teaser” show at the Eclipse Gallery in Shepherdstown the weekend of July 10. I’ll be exhibiting my pastels and white-line woodcuts at each event.

I’m honored to have been accepted as one of the Berkeley Arts Council’s co-op artists. Stop by 116. N. Queen Street in Martinsburg, WV to see my collection of pastel paintings and white-line woodcuts!

I’m excited to have the opportunity to teach a poetry workshop at the Rehoboth Art League in February. For more information, and to register, click here.
