🩵☔️🌈🌤️💧🌞 Please join us 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝟒-𝟔𝐩𝐦 @lcbatesmuseum for the opening of 𝕃𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥, a group show situated amongst the L.C. Bates natural history collection ➡️ 14 Easler Rd, Hinckley, Maine A big thank you to Winnie & Lucy of @colbycollege @colby_art_department for inviting me to participate in this show. I’m excited to have my work on display in a natural history museum as I draw my inspiration from the natural world and come from a family of scientists who value the study and further understanding of nature. From the show statement: From the shifting colors of sunrise and dusk to the glow of campfires, lighthouses, and illuminated windows, the exhibition considers both the physical and symbolic presence of light. Through painting, drawing, and other media, the artists capture fleeting conditions of illumination and atmosphere, inviting viewers to reflect on the role light plays in shaping landscape, time, and experience. I love Winnie & Lucy’s selection, an illuminated, purple/blue grouping that feel perfect for Spring: Night of Nights, 2025, oil on canvas, 34 x 34 inches, made @vermontstudiocenter After Rain, 2025, terra sig, glaze, and luster on earthenware, approx. 19 x 19 x 5 inches Glinting, 2024, terra sig and oil paint on stoneware, approx. 12 x 12 x 12 inches, finished @wassaicproject #lcbatesmuseum #interdisciplinaryartist #light #naturalhistory #springtime

Shipped this favorite off to its new home yesterday 🌞🐚🌊🌅🐡✨ Awhile back I was looking at this piece in the studio & feeling like I wouldn’t mind if it never found a home. A few weeks later, it found its home and is headed to sunny Santa Monica. I couldn’t envision a better place for a piece that celebrates the magic of sunshine and daylight. Thank you to the collector for sharing in the vision of this work & @wassaicproject for presenting my work @newartdealers Ceramics Market 2026. Additional works are still available (follow my link in bio) Pictured: Heat Mirage (Seraphim), 2025, terra sigillata and glaze on stoneware, approx. 20 x 19 x 6 inches #sunshine #daylight #mirage #seraphim #ceramicsculpture

Had to take a studio picture for a grant today & i think it came out well 🖤🖤

🩵💘💛 ART YOU LOVE • a benefit auction for @cmcanow • is live, open for bidding now through Feb 26th This small original drawing, titled Winter Sun, is available with a starting bid of $100. After a challenging 2025 as a working artist, I am left thinking a lot about the accessibility of art, funding models, creating community, and my place in all of it. I was happy to be asked to contribute a work for the auction and chose this small drawing as a more accessible option for those who might want to collect an original work of mine and support the CMCA’s mission without a large budget (like me). Activating the ability for smaller contributions to be made by more people seems like the future of funding the things we love to keep money flowing through local ecosystems that sustain living a enriched life, right where we are. I made this drawing over the holiday last year and I hope it can be a little token to channel winter’s light and beauty. Winter Sun, 2025, colored pencil on paper, 8 1/2 x 6 inches (unframed), $100 starting bid • link in bio to Artsy #artyoulove #cmca #rocklandmaine #maineart #maineartist #collectart #smallworks #workonpaper #wintersun
