Upcoming Events, June through November 2022

“A Pittsburgh Perspective” Exhibit Submissions

The first exhibit of the year, I dropped off submissions to the North Hills Art Center “A Pittsburgh Perspective” exhibit to benefit the nonprofit West View Hub which offers a variety of resources to the community.

A New Batch of Keepsake Boxes

Pointy-eared and Eartipped, Feline Holiday Ornaments and More!

My “Star of Wonder” ornament is designed from my original “Star of Wonder” holiday card in 2012, more on that below.

The Woods in Spring in Black and White Film

I always include a good bit of photography in my Panhandle Trail exhibit and like to share some interesting views on common scenes. A mini-exhibit within the larger exhibit I included this year was a walk through the spring woods, typically full of emergent color and shape, but this time in black and white film. […]
