What is your favorite thing about the Wickford Art Association/ about being a member/Favorite Beach, Food, Restaurant?
The WAA is such a friendly place – and so much talent is present in the membership which translates to our gallery exhibitions. My favorite beach – is every beach. I haven’t met one I didn’t like in some way. My favorite restaurant is my mother in law’s kitchen. She’s a fantastic cook.
What do you enjoy most about your artistry/being an artist?
It’s good for the mind, body and soul.

I have a busy summer and fall planned. First is the amazing Wickford Arts Festival (which is hosted by WAA) this coming weekend. Next: Town of Mystic’s Outdoor Art Festival August 8 & 9 ; Olde Mistick Village Art Show September 5-7; Stonington borough Art Walk Sept 12; Scituate Art Festival October 10-12; and the WAA Fall Invitational at Gooseneck Vineyard Oct 24 & 25.
