Save the Date for the Garrett County Studio Tour

The Garrett County Artist Studio Tour is Back

The Garrett County Artist Studio Tour returns on July 27th and 28th, 2024, from 11 am to 5 pm daily.

This event, organized by the Garrett County Arts Council, offers a chance to step behind the scenes and into local artists’ studios.  

What to Expect:

  • Meet the Artists: Get to know the faces behind the work.   Talk with them about their creative process, what inspires them, and the techniques they use to bring their work to life.
  • Explore Diverse Media: The tour showcases a wide range of artistic styles and mediums, from painting and pottery to photography and jewelry design.
  • Scenic Byway Adventure: The studios are spread throughout Garrett County, so you can turn the tour into a scenic drive. 
  • Support Local Art: This is a great opportunity to find a unique piece for your home or a special gift.


Stay Tuned!

In the coming weeks, I’ll share more details about my studio and the pieces I’ll be featuring on the tour. In the meantime, mark your calendars for July 27th and 28th.

Wintry Garrett County

You may have noticed that I like to paint winter scenes if you’ve followed my work. I get questions about why I do this; one reason is that I find the scenes more interesting to paint than during the greener seasons. 

Garrett County Winter Scenes

Tis the season, so we put together this viewing gallery of Garrett County scenes in winter. Check back periodically as I’ll be adding more.

Stanton’s Mill in December

Crappie Run

I read about Jason Paugh of Red House, near Deep Creek Lake, officially becoming the fourth Master Angler awarded under the Maryland Department of Natural Resources’ FishMaryland program. The highest award in the program recognizes the skill and determination required to catch ten trophy-size fish species in Maryland that all meet the minimum award sizes. Congratulations, Jason!

Fishing on Deep Creek Lake

Jason caught a lot of fish to receive this designation, including a crappie. He hooked most of them on Deep Creek Lake. This made me think of a painting I did a while ago, Crappie Run, based on a fisherman fishing for Crappie on the lake. I used to do a lot of fishing on the lake as well.

Crappie Run in Fine Art Prints and Cards

Crappie Run sold to a buyer from the Midwest, but you can still get prints and cards at Fine Art America.

“Starboard Tack” – New Sailing Art on Canvas

I recently finished up Starboard Tack pictured in situ below. This work on canvas is sized at 30″x15″.

Most of these sailing paintings sell quickly. If you have a size you’d like in mind, please let me know, and I’ll be sure to create some in that size as I work on more over the winter.

Did you know that I have an in situ online gallery where you can picture available work hanging in different spaces? Find it here.

Working Boat and Waterways Art Gallery

New Online Galleries

I’ve been organizing my art to make it easier for you to view different collections. Recently, I created a new gallery for my Working Boat and Waterways collection.

View Work In Situ

This online gallery presents this collection of work on paper to highlight how pieces looked framed in different surroundings. Available work in this gallery is sold matted but unframed, as the framed presentation is for illustration.

View the new gallery here.
