Today Penny & I went on an eight hour road trip visiting three art shows, two of which were mine. My painting, Jaune, is included in this fabulous juried show at Main Street Arts, 20 W. Main Street, Clifton, Springs, New York 14432.
This exhibition is brilliantly installed with fun, themed vignettes, which was a very creative way to create cohesive salon style walls. It really is a must see. I am honored to be a participant!
The show continues through December 23, 2026. Many of the paintings sold at tonight’s opening but there are hundreds more that are reasonably priced – take two, they’re small!!!
Just finished twelve more paintings in The Robes series! Now there are seven dozen!
One of the robes is at Main Street Arts. The art reception for their Small Works exhibition is tomorrow from 3:00-6:00 PM.
My painting, Apple, will be displayed as part of the member’s exhibition at Baltimore Woods Nature Center next month.
It is from my encaustic trees series.
The show starts November 3, 2026 and ends December 18, 2026 with a reception on November 7, 2026 from 2:30 – 4:00 PM.
My painting, Jaune, was selected for exhibition at Main Street Arts, 20 West Main Street, Clifton, Springs, NY 14432. The juried show begins November 7, 2026 with an opening reception from 3:00 – 6:00 PM, and ends on December 23, 2026.
My painting is 12″ x 12″, which is the largest size allowed for this Small Works show. There will be over two hundred artists represented at the event – my guess is it will be hung salon style.
Jaune is named for Jaune Quick-to-See Smith. I used to do an 8th grade art lesson about her using her horse paintings, hence the addition of the horseshoe. And the yellow background is to do with jaune being the word for yellow in French.
Jaune is from my collection called The Robes. There are six dozen different paintings in this series. I am working on connecting with the perfect gallery to display the collection in its entirety. Meanwhile, I’m planning to create at least a dozen more – I just don’t feel like I’ve exhausted the concept yet. I just love them soooo much!
I am honored to have been selected for this group exhibition at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center (137 East Ave., Rochester, New York 14604). Fire & Form – Encaustic Work From Across New York State is a juried exhibition! My painting is titled “Mustang Dance”. A man I chatted with said it looked like something you would find in an ancient Roman villa.
The reception started at 6:00 PM. Penny and I were the first to arrive. I managed to take these pictures before it got super crowded in there.
I am really impressed with the variations in technique, color, texture and style. It’s a magnificent show!

Encaustic, as a medium, is both durable and radiant. It aligns powerfully with both contemporary abstraction and New York’s longstanding landscape traditions. This exhibition aims to demonstrate that vitality and mark the beginning of a defining platform for encaustic artists across New York State.

I am so in love with the way my new exhibition (The Lotus Series) looks on the walls and tables in the Lawson Room at the Canastota Public Library. So grateful for having been welcomed back – and this time for two months (and one week!).
Thank you, Bill!
The library director purchased this amazing hardware that made my new installation at the Canastota Public Library so much better than my previous show.
Six dozen paintings (minus one that I left on a table easel in my living room) are now on display in the Lawson Room. These are encaustic, mixed media & collage paintings of flowers. They started off as lotus flowers but then I sort of branched out via the titles (Lily, Thistle, etc.). I created all the paintings this year. All are 8″ x 10″ on cradled hardboard and framed.
All paintings are available for sale. Contact information is listed in the literature.
The artwork will be featured at the library through October 2026. The Lawson Room is located in the basement of this Andrew Carnegie built library and can be accessed during library hours. There are many clubs and activities scheduled for this room in the coming months. They sound like a lot of fun – exercise classes, a writer’s group, bridge, a knitting and crochet club and lots more.

Hazard Branch Public Library is the latest location to host my artwork.
The library is located at 1620 W. Genesee Street, Syracuse, New York 13204. They open at 9:00 AM every day except for Sunday. It is the perfect place to showcase large paintings.
I brought these nine 36″ x 36″ target pieces out of the archives. I made a dozen of them – sold one and kept two at home, as they are hanging on walls in my house. I created them all in 1997 during a stint as a Master Teacher for the NYS Summer School of the Arts, which was housed at Cazenovia College that year. These oil & collage paintings are framed in maple ($ 1,600).
In addition, you can find eighteen paintings from my series called Talisman. These are also targets and are oil, chalkboard & collage, 18″ x 24″ – not framed ($ 400).
The show concludes on August 31, 2026.
Thirty-six more paintings! I started them today. Created twelve new stencils. Added the wax to the hardboards. Traced the stencils onto the boards.
I will be taking down my art exhibition at the Fayetteville Free Library on Thursday and travelling to Rochester to deliver a painting to the Rochester Contemporary Art Gallery on Friday.
The following week I will be installing a show at the Hazard Branch library then it’s back to the Canastota Public Library during September and October, and then back to the Hazard Branch during November!
Can’t wait to get immersed in the process of making the new robes! Stay tuned….
I just returned from installing my latest art exhibition. This one is at the Fayetteville Free Library, 300 Orchard Street, Fayetteville, NY 13066. The artwork will be on display through the month of July 2026.
There are six dozen 8″ x 8″ encaustic & collage paintings in this series. They are part of my bigger arch – creating a multi-cultural kingdom where everyone is welcome and everyone gets to choose their place in the dream, selecting their level of participation. In this world, there is only happiness and joy – no complaints, no violence, no illness, no misery.
I’ve incorporated international coins and stamps, origami and mulberry papers, embroidery floss, tartan ribbons, gold enamel and game pieces. The vintage elements create a feeling of nostalgia, as well as a sense of deja-vu.
Last year it took me six hours to work out the site plan, move the apparatus around and install a similar amount and sized series. This time I clocked it at four and a half hours. Thank you, Laurie Heyboer, for ordering more hooks. It was so much easier to mount the show! I appreciate you!!!
