A BIG thank you to everyone who came out Saturday August 24^th to the 3rd Annual ArtWalk at the Shores in Oxnard CA, It was a beautiful sunny day, not too hot.  I enjoyed seeing friends and meeting new ones. Thank you for your wonderful response to my new printmaking work and wall hangings. I had such a great time!

I’m excited to share that I am participating in the 2019 International Mini Print Exhibition in Cadeques, Spain. This is a traveling exhibition that starts in Spain and will go to France and the UK. This is the 3rd year that I have been selected. When the exhibit is done the participating artists receive a catalogue with all the prints in the show. Can’t wait !

I visited Cadeques a couple of years ago and was there at the time of that year’s exhibit and met Mercedes who heads the gallery and event. It was truly special to be able to see all the mini prints.

From July 13 to September 1, 2019  Wingfield Barnes, Wingfield, EYE Suffolk UK
From October 19 to November 11, 2019Pineda, Spain

From MINI PRINT INTERNATIONAL OF CADAQUES 2019:
“This international exhibition includes 650 artists from 51 countries of all the continents. The technical and formal quality of the works is very high. This has encouraged us to continue organizing the show year after year since 1981.
The Mini Print International of Cadaqués is the most popular and longest running exhibition of miniprints in the world.”

I’ve been enjoying being the Artist in Residence at the Channel Islands Maritime Museum in Oxnard, CA. It’s an incredible museum with a gorgeous view over the harbor.

I have a studio set up with a press as well as a gallery of my coastal inspired prints.

I’m there on Fridays and Saturdays 10am – 1pm if you’re in the neighborhood, please stop by and say hi.
