"Even Tide" is currently being installed in BGSU's NOWOH exhibition, opening reception July 23rd in their art gallery. This is the first time I've exhibited in this exhibition outside the online COVID exhibition of 2020. I look forward to experiencing the opening with all the other artists involved. 

I am packed up and ready to show at the Art in the Part Art Fair in Port Clinton, OH at the beginning of August. It will be my second year there and I have the same booth location, which is good for those that are specifically looking for my work. The Port Clinton Art Association are lovely to work with, they are very kind. 

Update on my gallery exhibition in 2025 at 20 North Gallery in Toledo, OH, I have the estimated dates, JULY 11 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 20, 2025. There is much work to do, aside from the studio time. There is need to update my artist resume, biography, statement, headshot, studio space photo, detail sheet and a few other items. There is much office work to be done. 

It was Memorial Day weekend and I was driving back from a short vacation in upper Michigan when I took the call. The caller asked if I would be interested in exhibiting at 20 North Gallery in Toledo, OH in July of 2025. It was the eloquent art director, Condessa Coninger providing some detail with the promise with much more to follow. I was pleased to receive the call and accepted with excitement. 

We've since talked again, but there is much to think about and even more to prepare for. It is July 2024 and the art fair season has just started and I have been accepted into 4 events in the northwest Ohio area along with a few juried exhibitions to keep with my artwork progression. I find that the art fair experience provides me with public feedback regarding what art is attractive to the event attendants. I appreciate the raw candor. 

I went into this season with hopes of selling a good amount of my artwork for inventory purposes. Now I have to consider what works I want to keep for next year's exhibition and what I'd like to focus more on when it comes to my different styles of making oceanic art.
