Four Miniatures Juried into the 64 Annual Edmonds Arts Festival 2021

I'm so happy to have my four Fine Art Miniatures juried into the 64th Annual Edmonds Arts Festival! There are more than 400 artists in the indoor gallery room in the Frances Anderson Building and more than 160 in booths outside on the festival grounds.  Music and food will be offered so bring the whole family to enjoy a day in beautiful downtown Edmonds!  Of course, things have been scaled down due to Covid and masks will be required in all indoor venues.  Please don't let that stop you, there will be masks available if you've forgotten yours.

2020 Winter Show of Small Works and Miniatures - Parklane Gallery Kirkland WA - I have 5 Pieced of Art accepted!

Five of my pieces, four Miniatures and one Small Work are in this year's 2020 Winter Show of Small Works and Miniatures at Parklane Gallery in Kirkland WA (map). This year their Annual Winter Show will be a 2-month event, November and December. The show will combine the Small Works show and the Miniature show, which is usually held in the spring but had been cancelled due to COVID 19.  Accepted artwork will be shown online and in the gallery in two collections: Miniatures, which meet international miniature standards, and Small Works.  You can read more about international standards at the Miniature Artist of America, AMA site.  This special exhibit of 250 small works and miniatures were selected from over 600 artworks entered from artists across the country!  All accepted works can be viewed online and the Gallery will have a limited number of the work on the gallery walls.  As space becomes available, more work will be hung.  If you see what you like online, give them a call at 425.827.1462.  All work will be for sale and these little treasures make the perfect holiday gift or stocking stuffer!
