The North of the 45th Parallel show at Northern is worth attending... I have two pieces in it: the ice shanty and the ghost fish. I like how they look there.
My show of abstractions is up, at the Community Arts Center. It will be there through June, with a reception during Finnfest, June 22, from 1-3pm. I have been helping with getting all the other many Finnfest art exhibitions done...a huge job. It will be a great event!
My studio is in an old elementary school, 801 North Lincoln Drive in Hancock. I love visitors! I am usually there but please call first: 906-370-3183. My hours are erratic.
Locally my work is at the Paige Wiard Gallery in Calumet, the Arts Center in Hancock, and in my studio for viewing. In Madison I am still at the Grace Chosy Gallery, and in Petoskey at the Crooked Tree, and now in Ironwood at the Z Place.
