2020 Annual Studio Show

Please join us at our Annual Columbus Day Weekend Open Studio Show

This year has been full of twists and turns due to the pandemic. Suddenly, travel plans and shows became cancelled or postponed. Fortunately, over a hundred unfinished studies from previous travels both abroad and from the western United States beckoned from storage.

Continuing the tradition of an annual Columbus Day Weekend open studio, we will share our travels with you, our audience. In addition, all of these pieces will be seen for the first time at the show. This adds to the excitement of enjoying it in person without a prior online preview.

Not sure if the fall colors will be as vibrant as last year. However, motivated by a serious deadline, never before seen paintings from far away places will adorn the walls. Israel, Italy, Austria, Ireland and more recently The Netherlands. In addition, we fit in trips to three western states in 2019. Arizona, Oregon and last but not least, the “wonderland of art, artists” – Taos, New Mexico!

Please join us on October 10th & 11th from 11am to 4pm and reimagine traveling via oil on canvas!
