Art Buffet and an Observation

March 2006:

You are invited to Art Buffet's Premier Exhibition March 18...(click on invitation above).

Observation: Maybe there is a trend of investing in art for children lately. Three of my pieces sold in February 2006 were for children. One was Dragonfly Dance, an encaustic triptych which some collectors bought for their one year old daughter "who needs nothing but your painting" and two others were encaustic koi fish for a 10 year old who wanted them for his birthday. Interesting.

God save the Queen!

Joined with 6 other women, all talented artists to create a group called Art Buffet.   Four are British, so maybe we should start singing God Save the Queen before our meetings.   We will be holding large private dinner parties to showcase art.  Let me know if you are interested in being on the guest list.
