As always, honored to be an artist member of Bonnet House Museum & Gardens and to be included in this all brand new exhibit. On view through January 4, 2026, 900 N Birch Rd, Fort Lauderdale, FL, United States, Florida. If you are in the area or visiting hope you'll check out Bonnet House not only for the exhibit, but for the whole Bonnet House experience. It is a historical, local treasure. Each artist is allowed one piece to exhibit; mine is "Eagle". Actually, this is the very first eagle I ever photographed. Let me know if you are interested in it.

Excited to invite you to very special night supporting Funding Arts Broward which in turn supports so many arts organizations throughout Broward County (see more below). It may be a first of its kind, an all photography exhibit non-profit fundraising event. At just $20 per person, this night offers so much for all involved. If you miss the Opening Reception on Friday, Nov 14, you can still catch the show. All details are below. 

Join Us for The Living Lens: Broward’s Local & International Photographers Showcase
Hosted by Funding Arts Broward

You’re warmly invited to “The Living Lens” a photography showcase designed to spotlight local and international talent and strengthen Broward County’s vibrant arts ecosystem. A juried showcase for everyone—from curious beginners to seasoned pros, with selected works featured in a three-day exhibition at MAD Arts (November 14–16, 2025). Opening reception on Friday, November 14, 2025, 6:00–9:00 PM. Enjoy a gracious reception, the chance to purchase prints (participating artists keep 90% of proceeds), and a special Junior Photographer Gallery by Florida Virtual School students presented with the FLVS Foundation. We’ll announce the People’s Choice and Jury Prize live as we celebrate creativity in our community. Special entertainment by the South Florida Symphony Orchestra, a FAB Grantee.

MAD Arts is a museum, community hub, and laboratory for interactive art and technology in Dania Beach, Florida. Unlike a traditional museum, it specializes in immersive, multi-sensory exhibits that use technology like projection mapping, sound, and virtual reality to create engaging, interactive experiences.

Event details:
- Venue: MAD Arts Museum, 481 S Federal Hwy, Dania Beach, FL
- Dates: Friday, November 14, 2025, 6:00–9:00 PM (and 3-day run, Nov 14–16, 2025)
- Cost: Opening reception cost includes cocktails, refreshments and lite bites: $20 per person; $10 for students under 18.                                
- Entertainment: South Florida Symphony Orchestra

​Plunge Beach Resort Exhibit
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

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.

Interested in either, contact Bonnet House Curator, Katie Valli, 954-703-2605, or me.Location, Gallery at Bonnet House, 900 N Birch Road | Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33304
