Festivals & Exhibitions
I participate in several art festivals, primarily in the last half of the year, where I offer framed original oil paintings, framed limited edition giclee prints, a variety of smaller original oil paintings with sizes ranging from 4x4 to 11x14, unframed limited edition giclee prints, and an assortment of artist note cards. Festivals and shows are the only place you can find my smaller works. If you are attending any of these events, please stop by and meet the artist.
