The great news just keeps pouring in!  I have two more works accepted into the Cabin Art show just minutes from my home! 

Accepted works:

End of Day

Sunsets are proof that no matter what happens, every day can end beautifully by Kristen Butler- Go out and be one with Mother Nature; allow her to show you we are all one with the universe.  So, fill your heart with beautiful images that keep your Soul’s light shining bright!  End of Day reminds me of a symphony, where all participants flow in harmony and my camera is the composer- one of the best gifts given to me from nature. 

Beach Life

Life is like an Ocean or in this case a Great Lake; sometimes it can be calm, rough waves, gorgeous blue waters, or jet black with white caps but at the end of the day it is always beautiful.   Simple views like this help me recharge my soul, releasing creativity like endorphins after a workout so I can share my visual art to the world.

Dates: June 14th through July 19th, 2024

Opening Awards Reception: Saturday, June 15th

Address: Attleboro Arts Museum

86 Park St. Attleboro, MA 02703

Thank Attleboro Arts Museum and Lennon Hernandez Wolcott for accepting this work. 

Accepted work: Orange Watercolor – Commando photozaic

The sunset silhouettes of the islands have been like no other I’ve seen on my travels, knowing you are in borderland country (Minnesota/Canada) when you see the trees bouncing off the evening sky.  In my eyes each sunset is unique and unlike the previous day.  Colors from sunsets change just like the seasons.  Late summer sunsets have the deepest orange fading into the twilight blue.

Orange Watercolor

Commando photozaic – statement:

How can I construct an image that moves beyond the surface? Photozaics, of course!  My award-winning Photozaics are inspired by where Van Gogh’s textures meet Ansel Adam’s simplicity near the intersection of Bob Ross’ healing vibes. This series I call commando as for me it’s liberating to see the photo dancing in sync with the frame.

Evolution of Fallen Birch

Published

I’m sharing two works of the same photograph; one completed earlier in my art career and the other is my latest creation.  I love to look back and see how I’ve grown as an artist.  Here you see Fallen Birch in formal (matted and glassed) and commando (metal print matless) photozaics. 

This is one of my last images I was able to photograph with my dad and it holds a special place in my heart I think of him and the day we spent on their lake taking in nature’s beauty.

CheeBah is admiring and finds Fallen Birch Tasty!!

Pine Edged road matte less

Sometimes the path in life is not clearly defined.  The only thing you can do is breathe deeply, put your faith in the universe, and take the first step.  Life’s road will have curves, enjoy them as they will bring you to wonderful places if you surrender.  Road trips allow my mind to wander and absorb what Mother Nature shows me.  I especially love watching the landscape change from mountains to desert; from city to Rolling country farms; brightly colored flowers to drab gray foggy scenes.  All of these are gifts from her, so give thanks.  Get out in nature and recharge your soul!

Yes, CheeBah approves of this one too.
