Teeny Tiny BOLD Exhibit 2023-2024

I am so pleased to once again have a piece accepted into the annual Teeny Tiny Bold Exhibit at Roundtree Gallery in Platteville (my third year!).  



The show was juried by Chicago artist, Margie Criner and includes work from over 30 artists, some local/regional, but mostly from across the nation. Really fun pieces. 

Concurrently, the Roundtree upper gallery will be showing a solo exhibit of Bill Mitchell's always intriguing work and a treat to see.

Both shows will be up through January 13, 2024. Not to be missed.

Below, my entry - a mixed media collage portrait based on a drawing I did many years ago of Carl, who was a neighborhood fixture on Chicago's north side back in the day.

And, once again, a great reception with another irresistible spread from The Lemon Door in Fennimore. Delicious!

Teeny, Tiny, BOLD Reception

The 2022 Teeny, Tiny, BOLD show at the Rountree Gallery in Platteville is wonderful! 

Unlike last year, there was no geographic limitation on entrants, so there is work from artists from all over the country...from Seattle to Colorado to Texas to New York and more. 

Which also meant that fewer of the artists in the show were at the reception. Nevertheless, the reception was well attended including a cadre of local artists whose work is in show. 


And, the unbelievable food spread supplied by The Lemon Door in Fennimore was both delicious AND so beautiful it was it's own work of art.

Upcoming December Shows

I will have work in three shows in December - The Teeny, Tiny, BOLD show in Platteville and in two Mineral Point galleries!

Teeny, Tiny, BOLD 
This is the second year for this juried exhibit at the Rountree Gallery in Platteville. I feel very honored that my piece "Mother Earth 2" was among those selected. The exhibit includes 49 works by 40 artists and runs from Nov 17, 2022 thru Feb 4, with a reception on Dec 2 from 4 to 7pm:

Cheers! exhibit at Green Lantern Studios
The December show at Green Lantern Studios in Mineral Point is a group show featuring small works by nine artists. Opening Reception is Dec 3, 5-9pm during Mineral Point's annual Candlelight Shopping and Gallery Night. 

I will have a selection of my mixed media pieces, including some faux encaustic wooden blocks, matted Artist Trading Card sized collages, mixed media jewelry created just for this show, and some folk art painted Christmas Tree balls that I did a number of years ago.

Mosaic Montage at Longbranch Gallery
Organized by Cindy Fleming, forty-five friends met over course of the summer and fall to create mosaics with one purpose: to honor Judy Sutcliffe, mosaic maven and co-founder of Shake Rag Alley in Mineral Point.  All proceeds benefit Shake Rag Alley.

Ben and I both did mosaics for this exhibit for Gallery Night, Dec 3rd, 11am-8pm. I did two small plates and Ben did one.
