It is the beginning of a new month. Summer is quickly waning and the focus is starting to be on the Fall--the most delightful time of the year here at the Jersey Shore.

Like the seasons, the art I have on display is also changing. Somethings will soon be taken down and put away, while new works will be available for your viewing pleasure.  Make certain you see them before it is too late!

This week, my pieces in the "Rock, Paper, Chisel" show at the Toms River branch of the Ocean County Library will be taken down with the rest of the exhibit. Next week, Friday September 11, specifically, is the last day that my three pieces and the rest of the show at Torche Galerie will be on display. One week after that my pieces at the show "Suddenly Summer," will come down with the rest of the great work on the walls. Where did the Summer go? (I know--I was away for most of it, so I am not really complaining....)

If you are worried that I am withdrawing from photography, or you need a fix of my work, fear not.  In addition to this website and my Facebook page, my work is still accessible and new exhibits are in the wings.

Starting today, one of my award-winning pieces will be at the Annual September TRAC Arts exhibit at the Toms River Branch of the Ocean County Library.  It is an open exhibit with a variety of works in many different mediums offered by members of the Toms River Artists Community.  It has lots of neat items and displays tons of talent.

I also have several works on view and for sale at the gift shop of the Ocean County Artists' Guild in Island Heights.  These are smaller works, very appropriate for the upcoming holiday season.  It is never too soon to start shopping for the big day!

I will also be mounting two solo shows in the coming months.  One will be at the Grunin Center for the Arts at Ocean County College in Toms River starting in October.  It will feature shore scenes, my favorite subject, with lots of action and sailing shots.  It is not to be missed.  When I have the exact date it starts I will let you know.  The other will be at the Artists' Guild starting in February. This one will be very different. Though I have not finalized a title for it yet, it will have people and portraits from many different countries as its main subject. Stay tuned for more details on that one too.

A few other opportunities to see my work are in the consideration stage and may come to fruition.  If so, I will let you know.  Meantime, enjoy the changing of the seasons and check out my work online or in person if you can.  I always appreciate hearing that people have enjoyed seeing my photographs!
