I'm excited to be participating in Artscape at the Dallas Arboretum this year.

It has been a few years since I have been available to participate due to other art commitments and life in general! 

But I am pleased to say I AM BACK! 

This one of my favorite places to display and sell my floral artwork! 

I frequent the arboretum for inspiration for my floral and nature artwork, so you will see many familiar floral species that are grown at the Arboretum year round. 

So stop by and see all the new paintings and things that I've been working on.

                 There will be many new updates this year, including a new website

                           and several large   commissioned and public artworks.

                 This tells me that I am not the only one in LOVE with FLORALS!
