I’m excited to share that for the second year in a row, I’ll be spending a week painting at Red Shed Community Garden in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I’ll be at the garden every day, starting Monday, May 15th through Saturday, May 20th. I encourage anyone in the area to stop by and see my work in progress. If you want to make art in the garden as well, feel free to bring your art supplies and come join me! I’ll be there every afternoon as long as it’s not raining too much.

Plein air painting (painting outside) is always an adventure. It’s challenging to make a painting in one sitting while also dealing with the weather, insects and changing lighting. But it’s also exciting to work quickly and directly from nature.

Follow my progress online:
I will update my Instagram page daily with the work I’ve made, share my experience and update my schedule in case you’re interested in visiting. My hope is to make five paintings in six days!
