Events for 2022 and 2023 are being scheduled now. Please come back often to see the exciting plans that are developing!
Red Clay Renaissance
March 4 through August, 2022
Four of my paintings will be part of a unique exhibit at Red Clay State Park near Cleveland TN.
The exhibit features artwork submitted in a variety of media that relate to Red Clay State Park, Cherokee/Creek Native American History or the Trail of Tears in the Southeast . Two are landscapes of areas in the park and two are part of my Native American Series, many of which were inspired by events at Red Clay.

The View from the Sycamore (solo exhibit)
December 15, 2022 – February 6, 2023
Athens Area Center for the Arts in Athens TN
The River Has Many Moods
“There’s a Bible story that I love about a little guy name Zacchaeus who climbed a sycamore tree so that he could see Jesus. He needed to get above the crowd to see this man everyone was talking about. Pretty simple, right? For a long time now I have thought of the sycamore tree as a metaphor for what art does for me…..music, poetry, the visual arts, drama, dance….art of any kind, but especially the art that I do myself. Doing my art takes me above the crowd of a fast paced world, personal concerns, the daily drama of the morning news. It’s as simple as that. My art takes me above the din of the crowd so that I can see the Divine in the bigger picture. In this exhibit I will be sharing a variety of some of those experiences…..my view from the sycamore tree.”
