I participated in my first Arts & Crafts Show on May 5, 2018.  It was awesome and I sold one of my favorite paintings.  Of course, they are all my favorites and so hard to part with.  The show was well attended and had a total of 55 vendors lining the streets of Hudson. My next arts and craft show is going to be  on Saturday, June 30 in Fairhaven Mass.  I am really looking forward to that one, as we will be staying at our cottage in Fairhaven during that time.

My next Meet the Author/Artist Event is going to be held at CC Lowell in Worcester, MA on Saturday, May 19 from 2:00 – 3:30 PM.  I will be using some of my paintings to demonstrate how our life’s color palette changes with the seasons, and guests will be invited to join me at the easel to put their own strokes on the canvas.  Further details will follow!

Look for us at ArtsFest Hudson on Saturday, May 5, 2018 – from noon to 5:00 PM.  We will showing some of my new resin art work as well as some unique sea shells that I have painted with gold fish and water lilies. They are floating in resin and look very life like.

I am happy to say that my Memoir, The Art of Living a Colorful Life, has finally been published!!!  While writing my memoir, I had the opportunity to reflect on how similar my approach to life and art have actually been.  Both are so intertwined and fluid, and I tackle them in much the same way – “all in”.  Sometimes things worked out as I hoped and, unfortunately, sometimes they did not.  I thought sharing my story might be helpful to others, because if there is one thing I’ve learned over the years, it’s that when you make a mistake, even if it is a big one, you can start over in both life and in art.  It may not be easy, but once you’ve made that first stroke on your blank canvas, each stroke will be easier.

My memoir is available for sale in either paperback or an E-Reader (Kindle) through Amazon by clicking on either link below:

Suzanne’s Book

 

 

On Saturday, December 9, 2017, I taught a class in how to construct a beautiful sand art terrarium at Tower Hill Botanical Garden Center in Boylston, MA. Everyone used the same materials, but their projects came out uniquely their own.  Great job everyone and thanks for coming out in the first snow storm of the season!

Everyone had a great time at the Fund Raiser held for PAWS Cat Shelter located in Thompson, CT.  The event was held at Liz’s Diamond Restaurant at Hopedale Airport and Lisa Lund was the organizer.  There were about 25 budding artists participating, and by following our instructions stroke by stroke, everyone had success in turning their blank canvas into a snowman, uniquely their own, with lots of sparkle for the holidays!  Great job everyone!

A Different Strokes Painting Party was held for the employees of Family Ortho on October 12, 2017.  The Party was held at the Sorrento Restaurant in Milford, MA and there were about 20 students in attendance.  The subject matter chosen by the students to paint was a tropical scene of some distant island.  Everyone seemed so inspired by their results, that they were starting to plan their next visit to the islands!  Great job and thanks again to Holly Kingkade for organizing the event!
