Been a little quiet here on the art front as I'm going through some other major life shifts right now, but I am thrilled to be participating in this year's Emerging Artists program through the The Guild of Artists & Artisans! Great to meet so many diverse folks on the same path on Monday!

For anyone nearby Ann Arbor, great local market benefitting a wonderful school! Today, 4/5 till 3pm! facebook.com/events/s/2nd...

I wholeheartedly support the cause behind boycotting American businesses to protest the tariffs. That said, please be cautious of extending that same reasoning to small businesses and creators. Many did not want or choose what is happening, and will be struggling with these changes as well.

Delivering a new round of hand-made stall signs this week! First two up: 'Chase' living up to his 'Bold' name, and Rocket Man 'Riggs' with the Right Stuff! #customsigns #pyrography #equestrian #horses #MadeInMichigan

#tinyarttuesday (for another 40 min!) Outsized Influences: Remote Graphite pencil + white gel pen 2x2 OI was a series of tiny macro drawings of small everyday items that have a disproportionately large influence in our lives. What does this one represent to you? #art #tinyart #pencilart

From my personal acct. Tldr; not a fan of Zuck and his policy changes, but a network like that is the people on it and their contributions. I hope we can make FB be the place we want it to be in spite of those policies. I'm growing things here, but not leaving there just yet. Be the change...

Well look what made the front window at the Gutman Gallery! THE GAME (Timeless) Watercolor, 7.5x10 It's one of three of my pieces currently available in the shop! Link in comments #goblue #michiganfootball #annarbor #Michigan #watercolor #art #buylocalart #gutmangallery #theguild #antiquecar
