Daylesford Abbey has been doing an art show as a fund-raiser for over 50 years. I will be one of 60 artists displaying paintings, ceramics, jewelry, pottery, glass, and fabrics.

Small works, large works, and everything in between, all in the serene setting of this historic abbey with its awe-inspiring chapel.

Friday, Oct 4, 5-8

Sat, Oct 5, 10-5

Sun, Oct 6, 12 -5

Featured artist of the month at Steel City CoffeeHouse and Brewery, along with Pamela Jacques.

Grab some food and/or drink and enjoy the view.

Brandywine Festival of the Arts is a Delaware tradition, stated 60 years ago as a 2-day event with bull roast. No bull now, but it’s ranked one of the top 100 shows in the country. Over 200 artists showing fine art, crafts, music, food and drink, and activities for kids, all at the splendid Brandywine Park Josephine Gardens, with trees, winding paths and, of course, the Brandywine River.

Sounds like a wonderful outing to me!

You may have missed the opening, but there’s still time to see the show. By private arrangement, or during regular open hours (below). Come and up your happiness factor.

Aug 16 & 17: the mystery of gouache! What is it? How do you pronounce it? I’ll be painting and I’ll bring some extra paper in case you want to give it a whirl.

Aug 23 & 24: cold wax. What is it? How does an artist use it? I’ll even share my recipe for making your own without burning down the house.

Bright color, bold designs, dynamic and stable, energizing and calming. Maximalist Décor is here!

Chester county Studio Tour started 14 years ago with one artist opening his studio to the community.

Fourteen years later, there are 202 artists at 71 studios, complete with an online planning tool to map out your personalized tour. (No one can see all 71 studios and remain sane.)

I’m Studio 11 with five artists: Carrie Kingsbury, Harriet Hill (host), Dolores Bartholomew, Dave Yasenchak, and Michael Ressler.

Don’t miss the ‘county collector’ feature. Every artist creates a small work priced at $90—your chance to scoop up some fab art if you’re the first to grab it.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and Jeweled Warrior Gallery invites you to enter into a journey through the complexities of mental well-being. "Beyond the Armor" harnesses the power of art as a medium for expression, connection, and healing. Local artists will be sharing their personal journeys, reflections, and perspectives on mental well-being.

And all of the art is priced $200 or less!

A trip to Historic Yellow Springs is rhapsody all on its own. I’ll be there with my paintings to add to the cheer. Holiday shopping opportunity.
