Yosemite Gateway Art Center

Even after all this time the sun never says to the earth, "You owe me." Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky. -Hafiz On this sun-filled day I am painting at the Yosemite Gateway Art Center in Oakhurst from 11-4. Come see me and see all the beautiful art!

I am very honored to have my pastel 'Pond Patterns" accepted into the 2021 online exhibit of the Pastel Society of the West Coast. The painting is framed and available at the Yosemite Gateway Art Center in Oakhurst, CA.

Our Holiday Market features a wonderful selection of local arts and crafts, but also hand-made treats, fresh...delicious...with NO CALORIES... not really, Kathy Marks told me to say that ;) If you stop in this weekend you can indulge!
