I am really excited to share that I have work in two exhibits this month, one in Illinois and the other in Maryland. Two places I call home.
“Revisiting Lessons From the Prairie” was juried into an encaustic exhibit at Woman Made Gallery, juried by Kathleen Waterloo. I am so excited to be in this show as I have long loved this gallery located in Chicago. And I also know several other artists whose works were also juried into the show. It’ll be nice to hang with them again!
