Normally, this week I would be excitedly preparing for the Affordable Arts Festival in Littleton, Colorado, my absolute favorite show to do. This year, it is being held on Sunday, August 30th. But I won't be there this year. My husband, who was seriously ill this winter and underwent surgery last month is still recovering. If you are in the area, I hope you'll stop by and look at the great art. It is a fund raiser for the Arapahoe Community College scholarship fund, so your ticket will go to help a worthy cause. They also have some great food trucks there!
As you can imagine, 2026 has been a challenging year for me and my husband. But through it all, I have managed to adapt and embrace the privilege of being an artist. My husband has found strength he didn't know he had to overcome illness and adversity. We have also found joy in facing challenges together. Here's one of my favorite paintings from Fall 2025. I hope you enjoy it!
