I am thrilled to be back again to Artist on Location at the Knoxville Museum of Art. This is one of the most enjoyable unique shows of the year in Knoxville. Over twenty artists come together and paint outdoors (Plein Air Painting) for the five days leading up to the show at the KMA. We then bring all our wet paintings, framed and ready to show and sell at the wonderful fundraising event.

I look forward to this every year and am eager to get outside to paint this beautiful spring. Each new painting will be a fresh vision of East Tennessee, so come to be the first to spot one that you love.

We want to invite you to a special art show and sale event on April 3rd, 2021 in Maryville, TN.
