The Gathering of Artisans Conference

The Gathering of Artisans was a fabulous conference in Asheville, North Carolina September 14-17, 2017 . I had registered for the conference in January, 2017...nobody could have predicted Hurricane Irma would have hit Florida and moved up through Georgia. We were without power for four days...I left it all behind & Carol Lindquist and I drove to Asheville on Thursday for a powerful long week-end!

Gullah Women and Southern Women

The Women Series has become very popular. I have added Gullah women and Southern women to the Series. Most of these paintings are 5 x 7 and make wonderful gifts. They are acrylic on flat canvas board. Here is a sampling of some of the most recent paintings. They can be found at www.trinketsjewelry.etsy.com or www.ritaknightart.org
