I will have a variety of artwork at this event(Fire In The Forest, and Birch Trees In Repose which is the one in my profile and it has a black frame, plus others etc.) and the artwork will hang through the month of June. If you are in the area come to the First Friday event and meet the artists. I and other artists will be in attendance to answer any of your questions. We will be there from 5-7 p.m. and if you hang around after there will be live music. This is an wine tasting venue. I hope to see you there! I will have art from size 5x7 up to 36x48 for sale through the Chrysalis Gallery while at this location in June.

 EVENT DESCRIPTION FOR PROMOTIONS

I’m excited to share that I'm participating in Forest to Frame this year! 🎨🌿

On May 16th, from 10am-4pm, I and over 50 other professional artists will set up our easels and draw inspiration from the nature around us. Attendees will be given a map and encouraged to wander through the arboretum, observe our creative processes, talk with us about our techniques, and discover how nature inspires each piece.

The free, family-friendly event will also feature:

· Live Music – Rosie CQ and Moss & Stone will serenade attendees all event long

· Kids Craft Area – The outdoor early childhood education center, Greenplay Northwest, will host a variety of crafts. Former projects have included painted rocks, floral bookmarks, flags, and more.

· Art Market – Visit our on-site art market to purchase a souvenir from your favorite artist.

· Nature-Inspired Art & Education – We, and nearly a dozen other local non-profits, will be on hand to host kid-friendly crafts and talk about our work.

· Food & Drinks – Grab lunch from Feast World Kitchen or a free coffee from Thomas Hammer

I hope you'll join us to get some fresh air, interact with the local art and environmental communities, and celebrate art's deep roots in nature!
