The brochure I created recently won The Gold Award in the 2010 Hermes Creative Awards Competition.  Working together with the fine talents of copywriter Elizabeth Carter and the team at Sikich Marketing & Design Services, our collaboration succeeded in producing the winning entry!

Today is the last day of my participation in a group exhibition at the
River East Art Center called "Chicago Art Open." If you are in the area today, 435 East Illinois Street, give yourself a treat and check out my latest work from my Blue Collection. The works in blue are striking in the depth of blue color and contrasted with only limited other nature colors of the night. Warm and glimmering with light, these pieces are some of my preferred watercolors in this blue collection. I hope you feel the same!

Imbue our unique, one of a kind Greeting Cards with your passion and thankfulness for the most important friends, family and other loved ones in your life. They deserve a classy, beautiful representation of your deep feeling for all that they are and do for you. Not only will they be pleasantly surprised to receive an art work for a card, you have the opportunity to match the art on the front of the card with your true words of love and good wishes. After all, what would we do or be without the people closest to us? Especially those who return our gratefulness and passion with theirs?

I was thinking about how versatile and fun greeting cards can be. On March 5, my latest works opened at the Flourish Studios, Envision Gallery in Chicago. The exhibition showcased my journey through life, a kind of historical pictorial of my works, charcoal and line and watercolor landscapes.
