Fundraiser for Cru

The drawing for Cru was definitely out of my normal comfort zone. As a rule I only work from my own pictures. Cru was a special case. Cru was in neonatal and pediatric care for the first three months of his life. With wires and tubes, gauze and casts, and all sorts of apparatus, I wanted to create a clear view of tiny Cru at this early stage for his parents to cherish forever.  Cru was born less than 2 lbs, but is now doing incredibly well and growing strong. The family still has medical bills accumulating and they travel long miles for appointments. If you'd like to help support this family you can purchase a 6 x 8 print for 30$, or donate directly to the family. Please contact Rachael for more information.

This beautiful church is my new venue for the Artist's Open House Weekend. Friends of St. Joseph's have done a lot of work to restore this historical building and it will be worth your while to stop by to view both my artworks and the church.

Every year, I try to participate in the Butternut Gallery's Juried Show "FOCUS" that coincides with the Montrose Chocolate and Wine Festival, submitting my works and hoping they make it in. This year the gallery decided to do an invitational show and I was asked to participate. I provided five works for the show, including this biographical drawing of a wooden goblet crafted by a local artist. The drawing sold before the show began.
