Happy Summer Solstice

Summer starts today and I have been super busy with shows. Early in June I attended the Old San Ysidro Church Artfest in Corrales. It was fun and I met some really nice artists. That is the best part about doing these shows. I get to meet so many nice people. Then, later in the month, just last week my husband and I took a road trip to Lee Vining, California. The home of Mono Lake. I set up my artwork there and sales were very good. Again meeting the folks there was fun. I also got to see some old friends and reconnect with them! Good times!

I had painted a few paintings specific to the Mono Lake region for the show. 
Mountain Quail - used on the Mono Basin Bird Chautauqua Festival T shirt
This particular festival has been using my artwork for their T shirts, banners, programs for over 6 years now! I was really happy to be able to attend this festival. I had only been one time before and after this year, I will definitely be going back again. 

I have just been accepted into the WEEMS International Artfest held in November 2013. I am very excited and will be busy in July preparing for the Tucson Audubon Bird Festival in August as well as this November show.  Here are some pieces I finished before the Mono Lake Festival. 





Before I left in June for California, I also finished a couple more designs for the Mountain Nest Gallery in Black Mountain, North Carolina. 



Have a happy Summer!
