The end of the summer art festival season is close at hand. I have two more festivals for this year, Deer Park (Sept. 9-10), and Art in the Barn (Sept. 23-24). I will continue to provide monthly updates on the website, including notification of new pieces.

As autumn makes its appearance, I’m looking forward to discovering some beautiful scenery to capture in new photographs. I’ll be scouting out new locations over the next couple of months, enjoying the feel of the surrounding crisp air and, hopefully, an abundance of red and gold in the foliage as the season progresses.

Following is more information regarding ArtPrize 2017 in Grand Rapids, Michigan, which opens September 20 and runs until October 8. My piece chosen for this exhibition, Spring Snow – Scene III, will be on display at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church, located at 134 Division Avenue North in Grand Rapids, as part of a group exhibition with a title theme of “Landscape”. As I mentioned in July’s blog posting, ArtPrize is a collaborative exhibition consisting of 182 venues in Grand Rapids displaying approximately 1,500 pieces of art, including paintings, photography, sculptures, video art, performance art, and more!
