Pop-Up Art Show

 

If you're in the area, I have a Pop-Up Art Show at the Watkins in Richmond, VA this Friday from 6-8pm that runs until March 21. Matt Lively, Hamilton Glass, Daphne Maxwell-Reid, Allyson Woodruff, Linda Shaw, Julius Davis...and about 20 artists will be showing as well. Years ago, I had a friend who told me, "I love your paintings but damn, there's something about your black and white drawings that really pop." I rarely work in charcoal anymore but decided to do one for this show.

St. Edwards-Epiphany School

RVA GALLERIES REACHED OUT TO ME for St. Edward-Epiphany School's 33rd Annual Gala & Auction for a live painting that had to be completed in 2.5 hours. This painting of the May Crowning took place at the Jefferson Hotel in Richmond, VA and was auctioned off for SEES.
 

Fox Elementary School Fundraiser

A WEEK BEFORE VALENTINE'S DAY, I was invited to the Virginia Museum of History and Culture to live paint at a fundraiser for Fox Elementary School. Fox Elementary School is a historic school in Richmond, VA that was destroyed in a fire in 2022. It has since been rebuilt and reopened. One of the parents, June Renschler, donated a really nice floral display and I had 3 and half hours to paint the display to be auctioned off.

VCU Nursing Program

 LAST WEEK, I DID A LIVE painting at the Willow Oaks Country Club. Attendees could donate on behalf of themselves (or friend/loved one/colleague, etc.) and the money went to the Nursing Program at VCU. Rodney The Ram came up and painted a few strokes and 3 people donated on behalf of Dr. Ellis Youngkin, the mother of former governor Glenn Youngkin.
