The 4th edition of the popular Southern Highland Craft Guild Members Show, “BLACK and WHITE 4,” is up and attracting excitement for visitors to the Folk Art Center. “This show is the most popular theme for members and visitors alike. It happens roughly every ten years and each edition has been unique and beautiful,” stated Nikki Josheff, Curator of Collections for the Guild. Enjoy the show and see one of my new pieces Far and Wide through January 16, 2022.

I am really happy to have my piece Star Burst selected for a banner!
The Hendersonville NC “ArtScape Banner Program” celebrates Hendersonville’s arts community by showcasing the work of local artists. National arts exhibition juror M. E. “Mike” Bailey selected 40 new works from 280 submissions by 99 local artists in various mediums. The banners brighten and enliven Hendersonville’s historic downtown Main Street and 7th Avenue. A driving or walking tour of this outdoor gallery would be ideal during these social-distancing times. Brochures with a map are available at artscapehvl.org.
