So this year is going to be a little different for me. The sheep field where we have people park for my events is soggy - it's been flooded a couple of times this spring. So we decided to wait until fall (the 7th annual open studios) to host an event on our property. So for fun I've signed up for couple of new events that I haven't been in before, and I will keep updating my booth at Knotty Pine Design in Hudson, MA (note that they have changed their hours to be open Thursdays through Sundays, 10am - 5pm). Here are the events I'm planning on being in through early fall:
JUNE 1 - HUDSON YART (9am - 1pm - rain date June 2) - 46 Pine Street, Hudson
The Hudson (MA) Library is sponsoring a YART sale this year - it will have a combination of ART & YARD sales throughout the whole town of Hudson.. I will have a tent at a potter friend of mine’s house - Andrea Akerib (you may know her fabulous pottery). There will be a group of artists in her yard (including myself) - please come by!
SEPTEMBER 22 - ZENathon (9AM - 4PM - rain or shine) Camp Everwood, Sharon MA
Zenathon is an event all about PEACE! More info to come…
OCTOBER 5 (10-4) & 6 (12-4) - BOLTON & HARVARD OPEN STUDIOS (BHOS)
I will be one of multiple artists opening their studios for our 7th annual BHOS. So come see me in my Art Barn at 218 Sugar Road. For more information, see our website at https://boltonharvard.openartstudios.org/

Sudbury Art Association Holiday Market
November 14 - December 24, every day 10am - 6pm (Thursdays 10am - 8pm)
NEW LOCATION! 39 Union Avenue, Sudbury MA - upstairs from the "Carpet Carousel"
What is the Sudbury Art Association Holiday Market? Holiday Market is a wonderful collaboration of our artists who pull together to plan a magical holiday pop-up store. Every year we find a space in town and endeavor to create a warm, inviting shopping experience for all. Different from other art fairs, Holiday Market is run like a true shop with a central checkout system. The shop is run by our artists and their individual displays are well stocked - be sure to stop by often as many artists bring in new work throughout the 5-6 weeks the store is open.
Babacool Arts & Friends Holiday Sale
Saturday, December 2, 2023 (Rain date Sunday, December 3) - 11am - 3pm
Babacool Arts Studio & Grounds, 218 Sugar Road, Bolton MA
Come find one-of-a-kind, hand-made pieces for the people on your list while supporting friendly local artists on Saturday, December 2 from 11am - 3pm. This year, there are works in pottery, metal, jewelry, wood, fiber, mixed media, holiday ornaments, paintings, books, some fun oddities, and a few last minute creative surprises, plus a warm bonfire — all on the magical grounds of Babacool Arts Studio!
I will also be selling my artwork during the:
2023 Massachusetts Conference for Women
December 14, 2023
Boston Conference & Exhibition Center, Boston MA
and don't forget I will be updating my booth at KNOTTY PINE DESIGN at 43 Broad St 2nd Floor, Hudson, MA regularly during the six weeks!!

Over 30 artists will be at this outdoor event, along with the fabulous businesses nearby to grab a meal or drink. I will have a lot of new pieces to share, and I am happy to announce that my son Kai will be joining me with the art he creates by welding my steel scraps together. We really hope to see you there :)
