Art Week at P Bar Ranch in MT
Thanks to the kindness and generosity of new and old friends, I had the honor of attending a week of art-making, discovery, and learning in beautiful Montana. Being with a group of visual artists, musicians, writers, nature-lovers, and engineers was an idea and pure joy generator.
The natural beauty of the land, and the passion, perspectives and warmth of each participant made the experience one I will appreciate for all my years.
I am honored to be chosen for one of my favorite Arkansas exhibits of the year, the Small Works on Paper exhibit organized by the Arkansas Arts Council. In 2024, my diptych (below) will tour and show at nine museum spaces throughout our state. Here is the touring schedule for the remainder of this year:
September 4-28: Division Street
Hope, AR
October 1-30:
East Arkansas Community College, Fine Arts Center
Forrest City, AR
November 6-25: ASU, Mid-South, Reynolds Center
West Memphis, AR
Registration now open - two final workshops in 2024!

Juried Artist Registry NEWS!
After visiting the National Museum of Women in the Arts years ago in Washington, DC, I was delighted to learn that each state can participate in the museum’s mission by forming a state chapter. “Helen Walton and Ed Dell Wortz established the Arkansas Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts in 1989 to carry out the NMWA’s mission: boosting awareness and appreciation of women artists, who are still underrepresented in museums and undervalued in the market.”
I am honored to be recently selected for the registry among some of my favorite Arkansas artists. To learn more about the organization and 2023-2025 selected artists, click here.
