Book Signing at Avenue 9 Gallery in Chico California

8/28/2014

On the evening of August 20th 2014, I had my first book signing. Maria Phillips (pictured above) helped me put it together. I am so grateful to her and all the Avenue 9 Gallery guild members for hosting this event. I was pretty nervous at first but looking out at all my friends and students helped me relax. Seeing all those familiar faces was so wonderful.

I talked about how I was contacted by the Editor of Walter Foster Publishing and read the email she sent on Nov 25, 2013.

In the picture above I'm showing one of the paintings I did.

Here I'm surrounded by wonderful friends and students. I loved seeing everyone of them and giving them all hugs!

I was more nervous about signing the books then I was talking about it. I spelt a lot of words wrong in a lot of books!

All in all, the event went really well. It was so good to see everyone. Two years went by fast!

I'm pointing to my painting on the cover.

Twin Falls made it on the Contents page.

Learn to paint sand and foam.

The final stages of how to paint "Twin Falls".

After a very long journey my book has arrived. I am so excited to be able to hold this book in my hands. Look, see that image I'm pointing to? That is my painting. I'm on the cover! The long journey that started back in November 25th 2013 has come to a rest for the moment. Seeing, touching and smelling this book has given me chicken skin (as they say here in Hawaii, goosebumps on the mainland), all over my body. Walter Foster Publishing has done a marvelous job putting this book together. They found 6 artists who's works blend well together. I'm having a hard time putting this book down! I want to keep touching it to assure myself that it is real. I really am one of the authors, I really do have four paintings featured in this book. I'm not dreaming!!!! In just a few weeks I'll be doing my first book signing in Chico California at Avenue 9 Gallery.

Two years ago, when I left Chico to move to Maui, I knew a great adventure was waiting for me. Little did I know just how great it would be!

I'm only giving you a little taste of what's in this book. If you want to see the rest come by my studio or order one of your own.
