Read MoreLast weekend’s Art in the Park in Blowing Rock, NC made me question why in the world I had never exhibited there before. After this Saturday, however, I’m all the more eager to spend so much of my summer up in the High Country. If these art events are anything like June’s Art in the Park, then it’s going to be a beautiful, fun, art-filled summer!

Thank you to my collectors for sending in these in situ pictures so I can see how the work I pour my heart into brightens your home and your everyday.
