Going National →

My work is getting a lot of exposure this summer. In addition to a piece appearing in a regional art show, another of my paintings has been chosen for a national juried exhibit. Narcissus is going to the 88th Annual National Juried Art Exhibition at Cooperstown Art Association Galleries.

I am looking forward to seeing the other work on display; the exhibition runs from July 7 to August 11.

While some may believe that casting a wider net produces a richer harvest, I have found quite a few jewels at all of the CAA’s exhibitions. It seems that artistic talent is an abundant resource here north of the Catskills. I am grateful to have the opportunity to show my work with area artists as well as artists from around the country.

Get your smock on! There are only a few seats left in my cold wax workshop this May.

I am very excited to be holding a workshop this May, meeting every Saturday in the art room at First United Methodist Church in Oneonta. Join me for this creative and playful workshop in which we will explore light, color, transparency, texture, and layers.

In Painting With Cold Wax: An Introduction to Working With Layers, I will introduce cold wax and oil painting to local artists who are interested in exploring a new medium—one that is ripe with opportunities for experimentation. Folks just starting out painting in oils are also welcome, of course.

The workshop is subsidized, which means it is quite affordable—think 90s prices. But there are also scholarships available if the cost is prohibitive for you. We will be a very small group, so if you do want to join us, you’ll want to register now.

For more information, please email me at kjnsart@gmail.com. If you’re ready to register now for a potentially life-changing eight hours, email the church secretary at secretary@firstumc-oneonta.org.

I hope to see you there!
