Just returned from a great show produced by the Glenview Art League. This was the show's 70th year, producers know what they're doing and took very good care of us all weekend.

85 artists set up their tents on the shady lawn of Lyons Elementary School. There was food and children's art activities too. Crowds of educated art-loving folks were present all weekend. I sold a number of original 2-D torn paper pieces, prints from my Door County series, and BONUS, my work was awarded this beautiful fluffy ribbon.

One of my favorite parts of doing art shows is talking and listening to all the folks who come into my booth - and want to engage. There were many of you this weekend. Thank you for sharing your stories and thoughts with me. thank you also for believing in me and my work, and buying original art from me. It means more that you'll ever know.

This upcoming weekend I may or may not be at the Beloit Farmer's Market with my beaded jewelry, I'll know as we get closer to the weekend.

For sure you'll be able to find me in Waupon, WI on Saturday August, 2nd at the Beaver Dam Art Festival with my beaded jewelry. Here is a link to all my shows this summer: 2024 Art Show Schedule

The Pollywog Pond will be on display throughout the summer at the Klehm Arboretum in Rockford. Be sure to take the time to go experience it. It's quite a feat of engineering to have installed it over the main entrance pond. I'm happy to report the pond has survived all the wild weather we've had this summer.

A very happy me with my Award of Merit at the Glenview Art League show, July 2024.

These are a few of the 75 pollywogs you'll see swimming/hanging above the pond as you enter the Klehm Arboretum.

The setting could not be more beautiful at the Klehm Arboretum located in Rockford, IL.
