Permanent Collection Click to View “This work will make a wonderful addition to our permanent collection,” said Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art curator, Ms. Bobby Moore, referring to the recent acquisition of my drypoint, ‘Chickadee & Milkweed’.  The museum’s collection focuses on American art and includes, among others, the artwork of Mary Cassatt, Albert Bierstadt, Rockwell Kent and Frederick Childe Hassam -all good company to keep, from an artist’s point of view.  The museum is in Loretto, Pennsylvania, about an hour east of Pittsburgh.     Southern Alleghenies Museum of Art ____________________________________________
Acadia National Park Artist in Residence Award     Acadia National Park, in Maine, has selected me as an Artist In Residence from September 14 - October 5, 2009.  Acadia is located along the rugged, rocky coast of "Downeast" Maine.  Most of  the park is on Mount Desert Island, which is accessible by vehicle. The park has a great variety of birds, landscapes and seascapes and I look forward to exploring it.  The park is approximately five hours north of Boston.   Acadia National Park ______________________________________________
