Thank you once again to those who supported me with Nature Automatic. Those of you who came to the opening, purchased a painting or visited the show afterwards are special to me. Of course a big shout out is due to my family and friends who put up with and supported me as I got my act together to make the come together. Thanks again to without whom this would have not happened. I am extremely humbled by the entire experience. Much love to everyone. Cheers to all in hopes of a productive and fulfilling 2024.

Thank you for posting this Libby Hale. I just want to say thank you to all who have purchased my paintings and other works. You are supporting the arts in a large and rewarding way. You get it.

I’ve said this to some friends in texts and in person tonight, I was overwhelmed by the attendance and response to my art show this evening. I want to thank the Averitt Center for the Arts for allowing me to present myself and my art to you. I had no idea the night would be the event that it was. Thank you

I’m giving a big shout out to . Kim has been a friend and colleague for several years. She curated my show and I could not be happier. With an aesthetic eye, Kim knew exactly which pieces should go where. For that I am thankful. Alone, I’d have been in the gallery all day. Thank you Kim.

Oh boy! Have I been busy in the studio the past few months. I realize that I’ve neglected my followers by not posting very often. I’ve been digging into the immediate and most important parts of my life. Family, close friends and my art have taken a front seat and social media had been put on rest. BUT! I’m baaack with exciting news. This is your invitation to the opening of NATURE AUTOMATIC. I hope each of you can attend. If you can’t make the opening reception on November 9, the show will be up during November and December. Make time to immerse yourself in art. You will not regret it.

Studio daze. New works are being created every day. A few will be released over the next few days. There’s a big event coming in November. Stay tuned.

A blast from the past that’s still true today.
