Upcoming Featured Artist show at the Hillsborough Gallery of Arts. I’ll be showing abstract and contemporary landscapes done either in oil or in pastels. Also featured are two wonderful artists, Pringle Teeter, a glassblower, and O’Neal Jones, a woodworker. Our show opens on September 25 and runs through October 21. I hope you can make it, I think it will be a beautiful show as our work meshes wonderfully well!
Best,
