Portraits, Mysteries, and Drawing in Beautiful Places
Hello! I have a handful of fun things for you, so I’ll keep this succinct. In this post you’ll find:
• Free portrait event, Wednesday 9/25
• Open Studio, Saturday & Sunday, 9/28 & 9/29
• The Commissions, now in paperback
• Last chance to sign up for drawing workshop in Spain
Okay, here we go!
Free portrait event, Wednesday 9/25 – with The Kitchen Sisters!
If you missed the event with me and Gary Kamiya at KALW, I’ll be doing a closing night for my exhibition in conjunction with an event celebrating the incredible Kitchen Sisters, the internationally acclaimed Davia Nelson and Nikki Silva, who have been producing incredible sound-rich stories for NPR for over forty years.
It’s truly an honor for me to be part of this event. The Kitchen Sisters will be live and in person with some amazing guests for an evening of storytelling. And to honor them and their trailblazing tradition of storytelling, I’ll be set up doing live, five minute portraits!
Go to the KALW site for details and to reserve your tickets—which are sure to go fast. And if you want to have a five minute portrait drawn by me, view the add-ons to reserve a slot.

The Commissions, now out in paperback
I have to tell you, I am so proud of this book. It is hands down my best novel yet. If you look at the reviews, there may not be a ton, but they’re all exceptionally good. This book has five stars on Amazon!
If you like a good mystery, with humor, action, and good plot twists—not to mention almost one hundred of my drawings—read The Commissions.

Last chance to sign up for drawing workshop in Spain
We’re getting down to the wire! There’s less than one week left now to sign up for a plein air drawing workshop with me in Spain. There’s so much I can say to try to sell you on this. But the simplest facts are: Spain, and hands-on drawing with me. And of course the wine, and the water, and the…
