For one day only - Thursday, February 29, 2024, 4:00-7:00 pm - members of the Broward Art Guild will be showcasing (and selling) their art at the grand opening reception of the Club at Boynton Beach. If your attending please stop by and say hello. I'll have a table there with a variety of pieces, including "Long Room" taken at Trinity College in Dublin during my artist residency at the Olive Staff Gallery in Listowel, County Kerry, IR. Click here for more works from the Ireland Collection.
"Red Tree" was juried into the "Seeing Red" exhibit showing now at the Broward Art Guild, 3280 NE 32nd Street, Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33308. During my Great Smoky Mountains National Park artist-in-residence I was driving up Rich Mountain Road, a serpentine dirt mountain road leaving Cades Cove, when I saw it. Stopped me in my tracks. Available 20x30 inches on metal and custom sizes and substrates. Let me know :)
And then this happened... Took a break photographing the Great Horned Owls hoping the lighting would improve or they would change position and be in better light. Went to Green Cay Wetlands Preserve with another photog friend. We witnessed this predation from Great Blue Heron from searching for prey to getting all tied up, strikes several times by the snake, to releasing snake to acquiring it again and finally flying off with it. Must say it was difficult for me to see the snake's face so close up while post processing. Number of likes (love and wow) is more than 650 so far with more than 150 comments. Snake is a brown-banded water snake.
It's always fun for me to reflect back on which Facebook posts received the greatest number of "likes and loves". Mostly I deeply appreciate those who take a little extra time to share a comment on how the images touch them, inspire them, bring them peace, make them feel that they are right there with me as I capture the moment. Thanks so much for your continued love and support. https://www.facebook.com/phoenix.spiritdiva/
SOLD! Athena, 25 x 37 inches on aluminum metal

Honored that a lovely couple loved this piece along with another for their new home at the closing reception of Jodi Paris Jeffreys Tanner / and Las Olas Capital Arts The Reunion Show. Big Heart-felt Thanks Jodi for your love and all you do to support local artists. Race Point Lighthouse (24 x 36 inches on metal), from the Cape Cod Collection, is included in this special exhibit of the National Leagues of American Pen Women - Fort Lauderdale, juried by Jessica Ransom, Director of Artist Services, Cultural Council for Palm Beach County. FL.
Captivated by the light, I sought a composition that evokes solitude, peace and simplicity at days end of this famous lighthouse in Provincetown, MA. Hope that you found that it was worth the four mile round trip walk :) Where: Herb Skolnick Community Center, 800 SW 36 Ave. Pompano Beach, FL 33069 When: Weekdays, February 5th to March 12th , 2024 Love to have you join me. My entry in this juried show is "Red Tree," 20x30 inches on aluminum metal. Seeing it while driving on Rich Mountain Road, a long, dirt serpentine road leading out of Cades Cove in the Great Smokey Mountains, literally made me stop in my tracks. Slammed on the breaks and took my time taking in this perfect abstract that nature created.
