Now – November 1st, 2024 4660 El Mar Drive, Lauderdale By The Sea, FL 33308 A not so little Hurricane Milton put a damper on things in SoFlo the week of this exhibits opening reception. All events were cancelled and thankfully most of us here only received a few gusts of high winds and little rain. And this beautiful show goes on. This is Pen Women's second time exhibiting in this contemporary venue. We've taken over the main lobby with amazing works from my Pen Women sisters. This is my eighth year as president of this professional women artists organization. Honored to serve and be inspired by so many internationally and nationally recognized women artists. Hope you have a moment to drop by and see it all in person. If interested in any of these works, please contact me directly Pictured, L to R: Flamingo, 20x20", Red Fox, 12x12" and Burrowing Owl, 12x12" See More in the Winged-Life, Wildlife and Alaska Collections Honored again to be one of the 13 artists selected to have their artworks reflective on Bonnet House on exhibit. This show runs through November 25th. Top image is Eagle and bottom one is for lovers of everything Bonnet House. It's a photograph of the Philodendron Ceiling painted above one the the stairwells by Fredrick Barlett. Both are smaller images and may make the perfect Holiday Gift.

They custom sized them for placement in specific locations. Printed on canvas and placed in shadow frames, sizes vary from 24x36" to 40x40" to 5 feet wide.
I recently had a chance to see the installation. The works are, top to bottom: "Pride," "Early Morning Fog," "Mother and Child," "Athena" and "Everglades Sunset".

Although my biggest, best solo exhibit yet may have closed it lives on online.
I was so exciting to be extended the privilege to takeover the Pompano Beach Cultural Center for some 6 weeks. The 53 pieces on exhibit represented my various collections including Everglades, Rocky Mountains NP, Great Smoky Mountains NP, Ireland, Landscapes, WingedLife, Wildlife, Alaska, Venice and more. Grateful for all the 100's and 100's of visitors who attended the opening reception, private showings, group gatherings, one-on-one personal tours and walk-ins I didn't even know. Big heart-felt thanks to the Pompano Beach Cultural Center for hosting me and Adriane Clarke, Cultural Facilities Supervisor at City of Pompano Beach, in particular who invited me to "take my exhibit on the road". And, Justin Kolosick for his care and precision installing and de-installing the exhibit. "The Spirit of This Place" exhibit lives on through the online gallery collection and separate videos of each of the exhibition's three galleries.
