Summer photographs are are now on display in the galleries.
In addition to an extensive presentation of my framed and ready-to-frame fine art prints, miniprints and greeting cards and a full display case of Lynn’s exquisite enameled silver and gold creations, the gallery is decorated for the holiday season and well stocked with pieces by many of Vermont’s finest artists working in photography, oils, watercolors, pastels, pottery, silver, gemstones, wood, textiles, and more. If you are unable to attend our reception, we hope that you can stop by to enjoy the gallery and complete your holiday shopping! Regular hours are 10-6 Monday through Saturday and 12-4 on Sunday, with extended hours in the weeks before Christmas.
Five times each year the Art on Main Gallery chooses a two-dimension artist and a three-dimension artist for a joint six-week Featured Artist Exhibit. I am delighted to have been selected to exhibit from November 15 through December 31 with designer, jeweller, enamellist and metalsmith Lynn Adams. I will post more details close to the opening date...

"Fall" exhibits are now in the galleries!
For about a year I have been printing greeting cards using my photographs, for family and friends. I have now "gone public" with these cards. Selected single cards and packs of three, six and twelve are now for sale at the Art on Main Gallery. Also, click "Greeting Cards" in the tool bar above for instructions on how to order cards directly from me.
I am pleased to announce my acceptance as an Artist Member of Art on Main , a cooperative gallery at 25 Main Street, Bristol, VT. My thanks to the Art on Main Jury, Directors and Staff for their confidence in me! Initially, twenty framed or unframed Giclée or Hahnemühle prints of my work are displayed for sale. The Art on Main Gallery is a beautiful, constantly changing shop - be sure to visit whenever you are in the area! You may meet me there if it is my scheduled work day!
The Bristol, VT branch of the Bank of Middlebury (on Main Street opposite Art on Main) exhibited my photographs as Featured Artist from late July through late August. Nine large pieces were displayed , including the first Hahnemühle Fine Art Photo Rag print from my new printer to be shown. My thanks to Carolyn Ashby, Manager of the Art on Main Gallery, for making this exhibit possible.
My new Canon Pixma Pro 9000 printer arrived at the beginning of June and I have been working with it to learn what it is capable of. I must say that I am very excited, because this printer produces the sharpest, brightest prints of my work I have seen yet! I am now offering prints up to 12x18 inches - but even better, I am also offering Hahnemühle Fine Art Cotton Rag prints. Long recognized as one of the world's finest papers, the Hahnemuhle prints have even better fine detail than Canon Pro gloss, with the same bright and saturated colors as Giclee! Yes, I am excited - and I am also delighted and very eager to show off these great prints!
