Looking back at 2023

​As another year comes to a close, I am once again grateful for all the events that bring my students and fellow artists together during the year.

I've been teaching for over 20 years in Kaneville. My dedicated students have not only grown in their craft, but have also become friends. In August, they helped me celebrate a milestone birthday.

In September I gave a demonstration at the Aurora Art League. Though I've given demos at the league on several previous occasions, I was asked to come back again.  I appreciate their continued interest and enthusiasm! ​

The Kaneville group met up at the "Farms and Barns" exhibit  at the Next Picture Show in Dixon.

We had a great turnout for my IWS demo at the Oakbrook Public Library in October.

In October I was honored to receive an Award of Excellence at the annual IWS Member show, along with several other accomplished watercolorists.

The Kaneville Watercolor class meets every Friday afternoon from 1:00-4:00 p.m. In each class I demonstrate and explain a painting in three steps. Below are the finished demonstration paintings from this past year.

I look forward to another year of teaching and painting, camaraderie and prosperity.  Happy New Year!
