Building my own Studio & Gallery: Seven years for three walls

It’s taken me seven years to earn three walls at this show! This is THE show I’ve been aiming for my entire adult career.

I’m prepping my caravan, and very soon I’ll be heading to the Celebration of Fine Art, my new studio and gallery! This is the first year I applied and I’m so grateful to be an exhibiting artist for the 2026 season! (Learn some of the backstory here)

I’ll be in Studio 147, and I’ll be open to the public seven days a week, January through March! Learn more about the show and find me under the “meet the artists” page.

Just a fraction of the planning involved to bring a studio and gallery to life.

P.S. Remember, Dear Artist is intended to be an interactive artwork! Send me a question or two for me to respond to in a future letter!
