The Spring 2024 Art Crawl is coming up soon. I’m thrilled to have been asked back to participate this spring, and in anticipation I started preparing last fall. You’ll find me again on the third floor in the atrium outside of Ta-coumba Aiken’s studio. Ta-coumba T. Aiken is a painter and public artist who identifies his work as superlative realism. He has created over 600 murals and public art works. View Ta-coumba’s work at : Ta-coumba.com

17th Annual
Pottery Sales
Memorial Day weekend • 2024
May 25 • 26 9am-3pm
I have been holding sales of my work on Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend since 2007. Now with the addition of horsehair raku, and a steady stream of commissions I am averaging 400-450 pieces sold annually. With the addition of my new kiln and expanded glazes I find a new found freedom in both design and creation of my work.
Musa and I were fortunate to spend most of January and February in Florida this year. I have returned newly inspired with expanded design possibilities and color palette.

39th Annual Art Show
Art Show
August 8 • 9 • 10, 10am-5pm
Come join us for:
Door Prizes, Scholarship Fundraiser, Original Art, Prints, Mini-Paintings, Pottery and Cards.
I have decided to not participate in this years sale. While I would like to be a part, and do my part to contribute to the art scholarships, Musa and I have decided, we just cannot make it work. We are leading a family reunion during the same time, and hosting cousins from out of town. I hope you will come and support this group of talented artists.
I wish you all well and hope to participate again next year.
If you have questions about this years event, feel free to contact me.
