“Refugees – Orangutans” was selected for the Society of Animal Artists 50th Anniversary exhibition in San Diego, California this Sept and is on exhibit at the San Diego Museum of Natural History. It will also be a part of the Encore exhibition being hosted by the Wildlife Experience Museum in Denver November 20, 2010 – February 21, 2011.
In addition to those two beautiful venues, I was delighted that the SAA tour director, David J Wagner, selected the work to continue on the National tour to the Dunnegan Gallery of Art March 13 – April 10, 2011 in Bolivar, MO and the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History April 30 – September 5, 2011 on the campus of the University of Oklahoma, Norman, OK. Several of my artist-friends attending the Society’s events in California also mentioned that the “Refugees” was one of two pieces to be purchased at the opening.
In September, my family and I attended our back-to-back Family shows in MT and WY. Many thanks to Stacey and Janene at the Moose Horn Gallery in Livingston, Montana (pictured above during the opening) for putting on a beautiful show and the inspirational spot along the Yellowstone River.
Our week long show at the Raindance Gallery in Jackson Hole Wyoming (Our first Featured show held in conjunction with the Jackson Fall Arts Festival) was the largest collection of paintings shown in one exhibit to date – nearly 60. We also had the opportunity to spend our mornings tracking moose and spotting other wildlife as well as visiting the newly formed Teton Raptor Center and a hike into the Black Canyon wilderness.

Early October marked the opening of our 3rd Featured show for the year with an exhibition at Kelley Galleries in Hudson, Wisconsin (The event is still on show if you are in the area).
Their Woodbury, Minnesota gallery location is hosting their annual Miniature Art Show on display October 11th-24th as well (Opening reception is the 15th 5-7pm) Many thanks to Barb from Hudson (pictured) and Kyle from the Woodbury Gallery for putting on these beautiful events!
In Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, The Snowgoose Gallery is hosting a The Breast Cancer Research Foundation benefit show of New Works by gallery artists going on now through the end of the month. (I am just putting the finishing touches on a brand new piece for their Closing Reception events)
Looking forward to late Autumn and early Winter…. I am preparing for 6 Holiday exhibitions of new work in MA, TX, MT, WY, CT, and WA, as well as supplying new pieces for galleries needing fresh work. Many new things in the works as well! Thanks again to all of you for your support of my work and wildlife and looking forward to hearing from you!
