Swing Beat
2024. Acrylic, charcoal, paper on canvas. 14 x 11 in.

I’m pleased to counter the crush of bad news with a little personal good news: I’ve been juried in as an exhibiting gallery member at the historic Desert Art Center in Palm Springs!

The Center is the oldest art organization in the Coachella Valley, and it’s an honor to be included. This means I’ll have works on view in the DAC gallery on a regular rotating basis throughout the year, except the summer months.

The first show I’ll be participating in opens Dec 6 with a special 75th Anniversary gala reception from 5-7 pm. So exciting to be included in such an auspicious celebration! Everyone is invited to share a special buffet and music and lots of wonderful art. Hope you can make it! The show will run through Feb 2, and the gallery is open 7 days a week from 10 am to 4 pm.

This new collage – Swing Beat – was one of the two works I chose to submit to the jury at DAC. Apparently it was a good choice since they decided to add me to the gallery!
