Hideaway is one of two works that were part of the Miniature Artists of America's (M.A.A.) submissions that traveled as part of the World Federation of Miniature Artists, for the 5th Worldwide Conference and Exhibition of Fine Arts in Miniature, held at the Russian Academy of Art in Moscow, Russia,  September, 2012!! Whew!  I remember at the time I didn't have much information on the show, however, when they were returned, I was glad to find out they were in the exhibit.  They were gone a long time, traveling from here in Washington to Florida to London to Moscow and who knows how many custom stops in-between!  Now it is once again on exhibit in the Miniature Art Society of Florida Show!

I am happy to say that all five of my works were juried in the show! This year the show will be at the Dunedin Fine Art Center in Dunedin, Florida, 1143 Michigan Blvd., Dunedin, FL.  The show opens on January 18th and runs through February 9, 2014!  This is a wonderful show and not to be missed!  I was fortunate enough to have attended the show once and hope to be able to do it again, someday.  I'll be blogging again as a reminder of the show as it gets closer.

In the meantime, stay tuned for more information on the annual upcoming show, Miniature Masterpieces and More! at Tsuga Gallery, opening on December 6th.  Thanks for taking time to read about my work.  See you soon and Happy Holidays!
