I started my journey toward becoming a professional artist in the second half of 2020 when I retired from my 47-year career in advertising. Since then I've been working on building up my painting inventory and entering juried art exhibitions to help bolster my artist resume. My goal is to get representation with a high-end gallery and eventually have a solo show. Right now, the slow speed at which I paint is my biggest obstacle. As I work on techniques to get paint on the canvas more quickly, I thought I'd send this update with a few exciting developments, including my first museum group show coming up in March.

If you've never been to the Customs House Museum, you're in for a real treat! There are two other exhibitions worth seeing running in conjunction with the AWA show. Rising Voices 2: The Bennett Prize for Women Figurative Realist Painters is a must-see exhibition of some of the top up-and-coming women figurative artists in the country. The other show, Aneka Ingold: Transfiguration, is also outstanding for the conceptual and artistic mastery of her narrative paintings.
