Dear Friends, Colleagues, Collectors and Viewers, 

Sending out this special end of year note to say THANKS to all of you for supporting my art career in 2016. It was a very big year for me, filled with new experiences. Many of you may not know that I have been busy promoting other peoples artwork for the past 10 years as Gallery Director at Iona Senior Service. But until this past year, I did not spend time promoting my own artwork.  Your encouragement has helped me stay focused and successful.  

Here are some highlights to look back on....
Sandy Spring Museum Solo Exhibit - "Conversations"
5 minutes of fame on Great Day Washington
Strawberry Queen
Sandy Spring Strawberry Festival Booth Art
Created a "line" of merchandise based on my painting titled, 
       "Strawberry Queen" 
        New Artists Support Groups in Montgomery County
        New students for painting class at Michael's Rockville store
        Featured in Plaza Arts blog
        Improved Social Media skills
        Opened The Gallery on Reading
        Artwork included in two exhibitions at Hyattstown Mill Arts Project
        Image used for Halloween postcard for Hyattstown Mill Arts Project
        New paintings series; POP ICONS
        Featured in Mother's Day article, with my mom, Gilda, 
              in the Washington Post

And here are some art moments to look forward to in 2017......
  • January - Bethesda Library Exhibit with Jill Tanenbaum
  • February/March - New hours at the Gallery on Reading
  • April - Wright Brokerage Solo Exhibit

Thank you all for being part of the process and supporting this local artist.  Wishing you all the best in 2017. Hope to see you all in the New Year.

Patricia
