It has been a while since I have sent a detailed newsletter. I have some Evolution of a Painting newsletters lined up that I had intended to send (and still will send) before and after my Barbados exhibition. I had to cut my trip short by two weeks (grateful to have spend two weeks though) and come home to a very different world.
It is an understatement to say that this viral pandemic has drastically altered, disrupted and even devastated many our lives.
I am hopeful that you are not experiencing tremendous hardship. I also remain optimistic that we will come out of the other side as a renewed local and global community with a profound appreciation for the things we used to take for granted. Our health, our sanity, our livelihoods and the ability to physically connect with our families and friends. I look forward to a future where I can invite you all into my studio again and shake your hand and give you a warm embrace.

In this newsletter I will expound on my online Mandala Workshop results, a new online platform I'm on to help ends meet, a new mode of self expression and safety featuring my art for our new reality and an upcoming event by The Richmond Night Market featuring, you guessed it, S. Ross Browne.

One of the first things I did upon returning was to try and help others early in our quarantine with the creative and therapeutic tools at hand

Check me out at www.buymeacoffee.com, a platform for creatives and their supporters

An artist friend of mine, who is also acutely aware that art is not particularly a necessity for folks during a pandemic, hipped me to this website. It gives patrons and supporters of the arts a way to keep artists working and yet within their means. Buy me a coffee is a platform that offers the opportunity to support artists by buying the artist the equivalent of a cup of coffee all the way up to becoming a monthly or yearly member of their page replete with perks. Just click on the link or the image above for more info and while you are there ...buy me a coffee please. :)

S. Ross Browne to be featured live artist at next virtual Richmond Night Market

The talented and dynamic women of the Richmond Night Market, Adrienne Cole Johnson, Melody Short, Toni Jordan Brown and their wonderful team looked adversity in the eye and did not flinch. They moved the RNM online during this pandemic to give artisan entepreneurs a fighting chance. I am honored to be invited to be the featured live artist for May. I was very much looking forward to painting alfresco but I will do my best to entertain and inspire within the limits of technology and the uplifting positive energy that is the Richmond Night Market.
