Two of my paintings ('Dinnertime' and 'Lauren Serves Up Her Muffins') were accepted into the New Waves show at the Contemporary Art Center of Virginia. The opening of the exhibition will is February 10th from 6-8pm, and the exhibit will remain up until March 13, 2011. Please come out to see my work and the work of many other talented Virginia artists alongside Marc Sijan's ultra-realistic sculptures and Eric Lindbergh's portraits.

A painting of mine entitled 'Amanda Enjoys Long Walks on the Beach' was chosen as the image for the Contemporary Art Center of Virginia's Boardwalk Art Show Poster. The painting is now in the permanent collection of CACV, and I have been getting lots of great press! Click here to read the feature on me, which ran in the June 3 issue of the Virginia Pilot's Beacon and the June 6 issue of the Virginia Pilot's Compass.
On Sunday, June 20 I will be at the Boardwalk Art Show signing posters from 10am-1pm. I hope to see some of you there! The Boardwalk Art Show takes place on the Virginia Beach boardwalk from Thursday, June 17- Sunday, June 20.
