As a long time LeMoyne Arts board member and the artists' representative, I recognize the importance of having a local venue dedicated to the visual arts. With a new exhibit nearly every month and classes for children to adults, you need to visit LeMoyne! I exhibit my latest ornaments at the annual holiday show as well as my wood jewelry and other items in the gallery shop. We are excited about the upcoming improvements being planned for our downtown location. Stay tuned for more news!

The Chain of Parks Arts Festival is held every year in April in downtown Tallahassee, typically on the third weekend of the month. Featuring over 160 artists from around the country, it is a lovely event in the beautiful downtown Tallahassee Chain of Parks. Every year the Chain of Parks organization develops new enhancements. Check out the website. 2021 marked my twelfth year participating.

After a one year absence, I return to the Three Rivers Arts Festival in 2019. It is always a great opportunity to see friends and family and experience art and music in a wonderful setting. I first exhibited there in 1976 and look forward to going back whenever I can. I will be in Point State Park June 14-16 in booth 232. Hope to see you this year!

I am returning to the Downtown Festival and Art Show in 2021. Held annually on the streets of downtown Gainesville, I look forward to returning to where I lived for 17 years. Look for me in booth 138 on University Avenue November 6 and 7 with new trees, bugs, and birds.

Market Days is an annual fund raising event for the Tallahassee Museum. Join us this year on December 5 and 6 at the Tallahassee fairgrounds. The 300 vendors come stocked with items suitable for holiday gifts. Hope to see you there!

Falling for Shrimp is a new event for me in 2021. Join me in historic Fernandina Florida on Oct. 1, 2, and 3.
