I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to hang artwork at the Kramer Gallery within The Kenwood Residence in Minneapolis. This exhibit was scheduled to be my first solo exhibition last March, when everything came to a halt. I'm honored to have it rescheduled and to have this be the first artwork to hang in their gallery in a year. Only residents and close family are allowed in the building, so I'm not able to see it in person. They sent these photos to me today, and it's so exciting to see.

Just wanted to share another print benefiting Art Buddies. I have a few of these in 8x10 as well as 5x7, need to get that Etsy listing updated...

This field is just south of my in-laws house out in west central Minnesota. I can't wait to get out there and paint some more now that the weather is warming up!

A plein air piece from this week a year ago. Today would have been great weather for a playground-plein-air session if we hadn't had so much going on. We'll get out there again soon!

I am beyond excited to be participating in the Art

I am beyond excited to be participating in the Art Buddies PenPal/Mentor program this spring. To celebrate, and support this organization, I'll be donating 25% of the sales of my on-hand prints (the top four listings in my Etsy shop right now). I'm matched with a 5th grader at Whittier in Minneapolis, and I can't wait to send them some artful mail!

More about this program: "Art Buddies is an after-school enrichment program providing meaningful one-to-one creative mentorship programs for Twin Cities children. Art Buddies helps kids realize their creative potential, and discover that creativity can be a path to a successful future. Our weekly programs last approximately 8 to 10 weeks every fall and spring. At each school, we match over 200 creative volunteers — one-on-one — with over 200 students. We partner with schools from high-needs neighborhoods in the Twin Cities." www.artbuddies.org @artbuddies

A little master study to get back in the habit of making art after the kids go to bed 😉 So glad a friend suggested getting together via zoom to create, it was just the nudge I needed to get to work. This is a copy out of one of my favorite plein air books - "The Artist in Nature"

A car-plein-air painting from last February, of the Clarence Wigington pavilion at Harriet Island. My first grader and I have been learning about Wigington (the first Black municipal architect in the nation), and the buildings he designed here in St Paul. We'll be doing a little drive-by tour of a few this afternoon, and trying our hands at building an ice palace (he also designed some of the St Paul Winter Carnival's most magnificent castles!).
