I am joining three other artists at what we call the 1st Annual “Just in Time Art Show” on December 11th and 12th. We are holding it at 1154 West Mountain Avenue.
Friday the 11th, the hours are 4-8 PM. Saturday the 12th, we will be showing from 10-4 PM.
The show includes finger mugs, tree ornaments, copper, glass, and silver jewelry, slumped glass bowls, recipe cards, baskets, oil paintings, teabag note cards, bookmarks, and GOOD HOLIDAY CHEER!
The other three artists are Pam Cook, Deborah Jacobsen, and Libby James.
Art expression in many forms has always added the shine in life for me. From cartooning to furniture painting, basket weaving to oil painting, and glass slumping to commercial design and mask making. I've always been thrilled to admire and create art in all forms and shapes. [click photos to enlarge]
