More Than A Pretty Face

The Boise Art Museum selected 30 artists in the Treasure Valley to participate in the second year of their newest fundraiser.

Museum patrons and collectors will attend salons throughout the fall and contract with these artists for commissions or to purchase artworks from their inventories. Half the sales price will go to the museum and half to the artist. It's a good way to involve artists in fundraising, since most non-profits want artists to donate their work with no return.

On Thursday, September 30th, all 30 artists will be at the museum from 5:30-7:30 showing their work. This is open to the public free of charge and all works will be available for purchase there, with half the proceeds going to the museum.

Boise Art Museum - Idaho Triennial

The Idaho Triennial is up at the Boise Art Museum and I'm happy to announce that one of my paintings was juried into the show. The exhibit will be up into December, so there's lots of time to check out the best work done in Idaho during the last three years.

Charlie's Garden

Charlie's Garden, a beautiful, huge garden along the shores of the lake in McCall, hosts the annual McCall Arts and Humanities fundraiser this Saturday, the 31 st, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. I will participate with 5 paintings that will be auctioned off to raise money for the programs the Council offers all year in McCall. Come join the fun and bid on a wide range of art offered for sale. Go down Wagon Wheel Road until you see a LOT of cars.

I have five paintings hanging in Jenny's Lunch Line cafe downtown for the next few weeks. It's a great little cafe next to the old Poulet Rouge just off Main and 6th. They have wonderful lunch food and now they have great art too! Make it your next meeting "for lunch" and pick up a couple of paintings while you're there.

Celebrate the Boise River

This 12 x 18 painting will be part of an exhibition at the Garden City City Hall on Tuesday evening, the 29th of June, celebrating the Boise River. Sponsored by the Idaho Conservation League, several artists will show work inspired by our favorite river. All work will be for sale. The show will be from 5 p.m. - 7:30.

The show is up and response has been wonderful. It will stay up through June.

Upcoming Show at Rowe/Lisk Gallery

This is a preview of my exhibition featured at the Rowe/Lisk Gallery for May/June.
