The 26th Annual International Miniature Art Show at Seaside Art Gallery

My two works, Sylvan Slippers and When the Night Comes, are both in the 26th Annual International Miniature Art Show at Seaside Art Gallery in Nags Head, NC.  If you can't make it in person to see the show, it is also happening online now! Each year the show exhibits around 550-600 works of miniature art by talented artists from all around the globe. Some of the world’s most renowned miniature artists participate each year! This show has a wonderful variety of fine art miniatures!

Both works are from the Wood Nymphs and Other Curiosities Series.

You can view my two works in the show on Seaside Art Gallery's webpage here, (scroll down).  I love the presentation of the entire show online. Seaside is a very organized and professionally run gallery.  Seaside Art Gallery is one of the largest galleries in the Southeast with 55 years of excellence and reputed customer service.

Seaside Art Gallery's show is one of the top five national miniature shows that you can see in person and online. This year the juror is Mary Serfass, artist and owner of, The Snow Goose Gallery located in the heart of Historic Bethlehem, PA.   The Snow Goose Gallery also hosts it's own miniature art show every year.

The exhibition runs: May 6th - June 3rd,
The gallery location: 2716 South Virginia Dare Trail in Nags Head NC. (map)
Toll-free number: 800-828-2444.
The Artists Reception: May 27th 7 - 9 PM.
This is a wonderful opportunity to meet many of the artists and see the award winners. Refreshments will be served. The reception is open to the public and is free to attend.

The online exhibition starts upon arrival of each artist’s work. When the artwork arrives in the gallery, it is examined, measured, photographed and posted. Not only will you be able to click on the work to see an enlarged view, but if you click on the details, it tells you the artist's name and where they're from. There is also a thumbnail of the work in it's frame which you can click on for an enlarged framed view. The clarity of the image is perfect AND you can put it in your cart and buy the artwork online! Collectors are buying pieces as they come into the gallery. You can purchase them before the show opens. When the show is over, the gallery will send your purchase to you, with free shipping in the USA. How easy is that! Miniature art is often referred to as "the little jewels of the art world" and enjoys continued growth in popularity worldwide. All beautiful jewels, they'd make the perfect gift for MOM! I hope if you are in the area, you will go see this great show!

As always, I thank you for taking the time to read about my work and the shows I am participating in. If you are one of my collectors, I thank you for your support!  Happy Mother's Day!

**I am happy to say both of these works have been SOLD!
