• Holiday prep!

    Yes, the holidays are just around the corner! I’ve spent the last few weeks sewing mittens, making ornaments and preparing several small paintings for two of my favorite places – Petersham Art Center and Dandelions Gift Shop in Barre. Remember to shop local this holiday season!

  • Takin’ it on the road!

    Little House Art Studio had a booth at the WorcShop maker space open house this spring, receiving lots of nice compliments on the work and the display! This fall, we may be taking it on the road again during the weekend of the Backroads Studio Tours in North Central Mass. Stay tuned!

  • Welcome, little birds!

    A couple of weeks ago, Little House hosted a small group of artists to paint birdhouses. It was a fun afternoon of creativity and lots of laughs! We think the birds will be very pleased with their new homes : )  

  • Tiny paintings!

    New paintings created for Dandelions in Barre. Lin, the wonderful shop owner, requested some small paintings to round out the selection I had previously dropped off. These cute paintings are now on display at 531 Summer Street in Barre. If you’re up for a drive, stop by – you’ll love this shop!

  • Snow day!

    An unexpected day off meant I could spend the ENTIRE day in the studio! It was a very productive day, finishing several paintings that have been partially completed for quite some time. SO MUCH FUN! Check out the scrolling gallery for new additions, with more to come soon.

    Celebrating 21!

    We recently held a special workshop to celebrate Samantha’s milestone birthday. A gathering of girlfriends to create a colorful piece of art for Sam’s apartment was the perfect way to mark the occasion. Each guest received a 5″ canvas and was asked to cover it with paint and whatever other materials they wanted to work…

  • Baskets!

    Baskets!

    I enjoyed a wonderful basket-making class at the Petersham Art Center yesterday, and learned how to make this lovely wine basket. It still needs to be stained, but I’m feeling pretty amazed with the results! Sue Morello is an awesome teacher, and I highly recommend taking a class at the center.
