Each summer, over the 4th of July weekend, the Sheridan Arts Foundation hosts 20-25 nationally renowned plein air artists in beautiful Telluride to come capture the town on canvas.

I am thrilled to be invited back for Telluride Plein Air 2026. It's been a few years since painting in this inspiring place and I can't wait to capture it again. Lots of patina there.

Good Morning, Telluride

24" x 36", Oil on linen

Painted plein air during a previous year -- Available but this piece will not be with me in Telluride this year. Happy to ship!

The format of this event is unusual. I will go early to paint (starting on June 25) as many of the official event days include three of them as sales days in the midst of town.

Contact me at [email protected] or text to 703.403.7435 if you are in town and want to see what's on my easel (and where). If texting -- let me know who you are. In case I'm up to my elbows in paint and not responding (it happens) -- feel free to contact my husband, Randy, at 703.403.8820
