Meet me in Birmingham!
I’ll be hitting the road at the end of April, headed to the Magic City Art Connection in beautiful downtown Birmingham, AL. This show runs April 27, 28 & 29 with over 200 amazing artists will be set up in Linn Park. Hours each day are 10-6 (Fri/Sat/Sun). My big tip: come on Friday, you’ll get first pick of new work, and you can shop uninterrupted by the crowds of the weekend. I will be in my usual shady spot #208 (near the food court). I am really looking forward to being in Birmingham for the weekend, and connecting with all my wonderful friends, collectors, and artists at the show. Stop by my booth for a visit, a laugh and maybe even a well-timed cocktail…

…AS many of you remember, it was this time last year that the raging tornadoes ripped through AL. So, this weekend I will be donating a portion of my sales at the Magic City Art Connection to CERF, earmarking those funds for Birmingham artists that were affected by last years’ devastating tornadoes. Craft Emergency Relief Fund is an amazing organization that has helped artists across the country rebuild after natural disasters. Come by my booth (#208) and help out in any way you choose.

Decatur Arts Festival
I’ll be showing my work at Wild Oats in downtown Decatur this weekend during the Decatur Ats Festival. I am doing a trunk show at the gallery instead of having an outdoor booth at the festival. What does this mean? It means air conditioning, clean bathrooms, nice lighting, good music…need I go on? Come to see me Friday night (Artwalk) 5-10P & then all weekend during the regular festival hours on Sat 10-6 & Sun 11-6.
Wild Oats location: 112 E Ponce De Leon Ave (in the old By Hand South space).
