Shows and Publicity
Between 2005 and 2022 I have had several group, two person, and solo shows that include the following galleries on Martha’s Vineyard, Dragonfly Gallery, L’Elegance Art Gallery, Craven Gallery, the Featherstone Center for the Arts, and Playhouse Art Space, Martha's Vineyrd Playhouse. Below is publicity coverage associated with several of these shows and other venues. Note the numerous poem/painting commentaries published in the Martha's Vineyard Vineyard Gazette.
Showings now confined primarily to my Studio, 66 Pondview Drive, Oak Bluffs, MA. All showings are by appointment.
