Winding Down Summer
What would I do without you?
I am SO grateful for you. You encourage my work. You send my cards out into the world for others to see, or hang my work on your wall. Were you one of the people who attended my booth in Troutdale at last month’s First Friday? I was overjoyed to see familiar and new faces there. You have my heartfelt thanks and gratitude for your warm support of my work.
Upcoming Events & Locations
August 5 Troutdale First Friday 5:00 - 8:00 pm (The website says 9pm, but we were told 8pm, because it gets DARK outside)
Origin of Goldfish is currently on the wall at Legacy Coffee in downtown Gresham. Look for it in the play area. (Thank you to Legacy Coffee for your support of local artists!)
New Work
Impermanent Beauty is now complete and available as a watercolor original painting. This was a joy to contemplate and to create. The gray dots in the sun are actually glitter, but they do not photograph well. Please come visit the original!

Holiday Cards
What sentiments would you like to see on a holiday card? I will be creating these soon, so if you have requests, please let me know! I can be reached at [email protected], and would love to hear your thoughts as I create this year’s holiday cards.
Coming Soon
Current works are always available at my website, https://www.fab-artiste.com/
I have a Patreon in the works. As with my newsletter, I will limit the communications; that’s right, I will not spam you, I promise. Look for information in next month’s FABnews.
Thank you again for your support and enjoyment of my work! I look forward to seeing you at Troutdale First Friday, or other places that we may bump into each other!
