Dear friends,
First, I'd like to give a warm welcome to the people I met at Annmarie Garden's Artists in Action event (and the Fairy Festival) a few weeks ago--I'm so glad you're here!
Tonight, Annmarie Garden is hosting an After Hours event from 5-7pm with live music, food trucks, a cash bar, and exciting artwork!
The Still Life exhibition at the Staunton Augusta Art Center closes tomorrow, May 8th, so this is your last chance to visit.
And my website *finally* got a facelift. Let me know what you think!
All the details are below.
Love,
Barb
P.S. Artists in Action was fantastic, and I have a new project in the works. I will update you on these in a week or 2.
After Hours Reception
You are invited to Annmarie After Hours tonight (May 7th) from 5-7pm to celebrate the current gallery shows! The main gallery features work by Artists in Action participants (like me), and upstairs, you’ll find the On Paper show (also me). Come for an evening of great art, live music, delicious food, and a cash bar.

NEW! Shipping Policy
A) I only ship on Fridays to minimize the number of trips I make to the Post Office.
B) I ship artwork via USPS Priority Mail, fully insured.
C) But I have no control over items in transit, their progress, or their delivery date. It is unreasonable to expect this of me. We are in the middle of a global pandemic and a USPS service crisis. And so…
D) An item needs to be missing for 8 weeks (from the ship date) before I launch an USPS investigation or discuss a refund. If something has truly been lost in shipping, I want to hear about it.
After the Flood
Back in November, our basement--where I have my painting studio--flooded. Many hours of work and a trip to Ikea later, it's much, much nicer. Check it out!
End of Year Bonfire
While the worst damage was to flooring, doors & supplies, the flood did destroy more than 50 artworks. They were mainly sentimental losses, like paintings & engravings I made in college & early 20s. I gave them a toasty send-off in the fire pit. Seemed like a fitting end for 2020.
Bishop's Stock
Did you know that Bishop’s Stock is open Thursday through Saturday, from 11a to 5p? If you want to come on a different day, you may make an appointment to visit. Please mask-up & practice appropriate Covid safety. And if you are not nearby, they ship. Super convenient! Contact the gallery for more info (410-632-3555).
Last Call
The 2021 tree calendars will be available through the end of the month. Order HERE.
Want to have first dibs on new artwork and sales?
Guess what? My newsletter subscribers had a whole extra week to shop before I announced the sale to the world. That could be you....sign up today!
