Plein air painting as a juried artist at “Artists on Location”, Knoxville, TN

When: April 15-20, 2024
Where: Knoxville, Tennessee

In April 2024, I was honored to be juried into Artists on Location, a prestigious plein air painting event held in Knoxville, Tennessee. This annual event brings together selected artists from across the country to paint on location throughout the Knoxville area, capturing the character and beauty of East Tennessee’s landscapes, neighborhoods, and landmarks.

The experience was both energizing and rewarding. The organizers were extremely friendly and helpful, creating a warm and supportive atmosphere throughout the week. I was also fortunate to stay with a wonderful host family who are deeply supportive of the arts and generously welcomed me into their home.

Being part of this event allowed me to connect with fellow painters, immerse myself in a new environment, and exhibit work created on-site in a culminating public show and sale. I’m proud to have been included among such a talented group of artists.

I won 1st place at the 2nd Annual ArtVenture Juried Show

I was lucky enough to win 1st place at the 2nd Annual ArtVenture Juried Show for my acrylic painting titled “Infinite Overview”

When: July 22-August 20, 2023
Reception: July 22, 6-9pm
Where: 95 Main Street, Flemington, NJ (formerly Red Vanilla)

Roberto Osti, professor of anatomy, drawing and plein air, was the juror for this event which included over 100 works of art. The reception was very well attended by artists and collectors. The event went beyond the typical wine and cheese to include catered food along with a Celloist that enhanced the ambience. I was completely shocked to get the first place award as only one of my pieces had been accepted into the exhibition. Additionally, I sold a portfolio piece to a very friendly collector who was an art teacher.
