Holiday Minis are back! -

Holiday Minis are back! Last year I introduced a holiday mini collection - a series of 8 x 10 mini paintings priced at $500. After a quick sellout, I decided to create a whole new set for 2024.

Painting the finishing touches on this little penguin, who will be making his debut at Art-a-Whirl this weekend in NE Minneapolis.

My gallery will be open all weekend for this event, along with hundreds of others in the Northrup King Building and countless more throughout NE.

I hope to see you soon!
