Happy to be Exhibiting in Two Shows for Chicago Artists Month

The cooler weather and the rustling leaves of fall are here ushering in October and time for Chicago Artists Month.  The City is bursting at the gallery doors with art shows and performances.  There are so many committed artists in the Chicago area that bring  bring a special energy to the cool Midwest days of Autumn. I am so glad to be a part of the City art scene where artists are appreciated and celebrated.  Here's a brief overview of the two shows where my art is on exhibit.

This beautiful invitation card was designed by Fletcher Hayes, a long time Artists Breakfast Group member.


My oil painting "Sunlit Viewers" 24"x 24" is on view with the Artists Breakfast Group "Caffeine IX" Exhibit

I am so excited that I'm showing my new oil painting "Sunlit Viewers" with the wonderful artists in the Artists Breakfast Group for Chicago Artists Month.  I've exhibited in the past few years with the ABG members and love to attend their receptions, but this is the first time for my work to be featured with theirs.  The reception was crowded with plenty of art lovers and engaging conversations.
