This month I’d been preparing two of my paintings to be framed and ready to hang for a group exhibit at Archival Gallery in East Sacramento! The exhibit, A Rose is A Rose, celebrates the traditional representation of floral still life in visual arts. I’m humbled to have been selected as one of fourteen regional artists whose work was selected by juror Davy Fiveash. My oil painting, Pincushion Proteas and Tea Towel, was awarded Best of Show! It was truly a huge honor.

The show will be up from April 1st to the 25th, with a reception on Second Saturday, on April 11th from 5-8pm, with flowers on display from the Rose Society, music and refreshments. A portion of sale proceeds from this collection will also support the nonprofit Sacramento Rose Society. If you’re in the Sacramento area, please come by to take a look at the work on display!
