Solo Show at Nahcotta in Portsmouth, NH

 I made 17 paintings for my new solo exhibition, opening Thurs 9/19/21, at Nahcotta in Portsmouth, NH!

I've shown with them at least 23 times since 2008 (by my count) and this is my first solo show there. I LOVE working with this team. It was my hope to be traveling there at this time to meet them in person but life got tricky so that will have to wait for another time.

All of the paintings are available online and I'll link to each one below. Here's a link to the full exhibition.

Thank you for looking! ❤

I'm fully vaxed and masked up! 

Am I freaked out about being at the fair? YES.

Be cool and stay safe, my friends.
