Happy Spring !

 

     I hope you are enjoying the spring blossoms and the longer days! It’s been a while since I’ve written, and I have so many great things to share with you!

After my 10+ months in France and Europe this past year, I developed a new body of work that will be exhibited in May at Calloway Fine Art & Consulting in Washington DC. I’m very excited about these works! Look for an email about the development of these works in 2 weeks.

Right after the show opens, I will return to my studio in Provence to work for upcoming events and exhibitions over the next 8 or 9 months: a solo exhibition in Sisteron France in July/August; the spotlight alumni artist at the Leo Marchutz School in Aix-en-Provence; exhibiting some of my work in Monaco this September; and my work will be at the Estampa Art Fair in Madrid this October with the Uxval Gochez Gallery from Barcelona. I am very excited for this year!  And I can’t wait to share everything in more detail as the year progresses.

SISTERON CULTURAL CENTER’S GALLERY

GALERIE DOMNINE — SOLO EXHIBITION OPENS JULY 29TH 

 

      I’m thrilled to be exhibiting in my grandfather’s birth place in Sisteron France this summer. Sisteron is on the Route Napoleon in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. It is known as the gateway to Provence with it’s narrow opening between two mountain ridges where two rivers meet: the Durance and the Büech. It’s also nicknamed the “Pearl of Haute-Provence”. I’m honered they have offered me the best time slot of the season during the 70th anniversary of the Festival des Nuits de la Citadelle. This is one of the largest festivals of music, dance and theater in France which takes place every July and August and makes it the most important cultural event in Haute-Provence.

I will send more information closer to the date. In the meantime, visit the office de tourism site to learn about this fantastic place and region that I love so much.

      In due time, I’ll send more information about other events including the Leo Marchutz School of Painting & Drawing, and the Estampa Art Fair Madrid with Uxval Gochez Gallery. Thank you for reading, and your continued support.

Very warmly,
Karen
