The artworks I have selected to exhibit with the Pittsburgh Group Sewickley, PA at the Sweetwater Art Center from Feb 5 – March 27, 2026, are autobiographical re: the landscape of my childhood. The season is winter, and the show is in the winter. Exhibiting members in this show.

The opening for the art show is Thursday February 5, 2026 from 6-8PM. You are invited.

Sweetwater Art Center 200 Broad St. Sewickley, PA15243

Regular Hours: Open weekdays 9-5. Closed weekends. 412-741-4405 call ahead to check for weather closings

My pieces to be exhibited are part of an exhibition by The Pittsburgh Group, a group of 17 women artists and will be on the Mezzanine level of Sweetwater Center for the Arts. We each submitted 3 or 4 pieces.

The artworks I am exhibiting were painted in shades of blue during and after a 2024 ski trip with my husband to Mt. Mansfield in Stowe, Vermont. On one of our ski days, I joined my sister Erica who was a member of the US Alpine Ski Team 1968- 1969 to ski together on what I now call the big, beautiful backyard of my childhood. It had been a VERY LONG TIME since we skied there together. It’s great to be able to share this landscape more with my husband now that he is retired. Growing up, my family lived close enough to the bottom of Mt. Mansfield that we could ski home after a day of skiing. My sisters and I spent so much time on the mountain in all seasons. Spring, summer and fall was for hiking. It left an indelible memory, and I feel lucky and happy to be able to revisit it now a couple times a year.

I am a member of the Pittsburgh Society of Artists and the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh. I was pleased to be invited to join the Pittsburgh Group in 2024. Education: California College of Arts and Crafts (BFA) now called California College of the Arts; additional studies at Instituto Allende, Mexico, Boston Architectural Center, Truro Center for the Arts at Castle Hill.

The Art Award I’m proudest of was from Juror Freyda Spira, Associate Curator in the Department of Drawings and Prints at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I received one of her Best of Show awards at Intr[au]spective exhibition , in Pittsburgh’s Three Rivers Arts Festival.

Sweetwater Center for the Arts celebrated its 50th anniversary recently by planning for a spectacular renovation described in this Pittsburgh Magazine article . I learned that Alice Snyder, Trudy Hetherington and Smokey Jack were the founding mothers. While Sweetwater Center for the Arts currently has exhibition space on two floors, it exciting to see the future in the architectural rendering below. Fundraising is ongoing.

After skiing, I painted this watercolor from memory in the bathroom at the condo we rented near foot of Mt. Mansfield. The traveling watercolor set is by Derwent Intense watercolors, permanent when dry – doesn’t washout like watercolor. Layer up intense vibrant colors.

2020 I started the year with a month of art making on the theme of including a sculpture, or what I think is sculpture in each artwork. Perhaps because my father was a sculptor and metals artist I have quite a lot of sculpture and I have an appreciation for sculpture.

The show in February 2020 was at CDCP Project Space317 S Trenton Ave, Pittsburgh, PA 15221. Just before COVID 19 shut everything down.

About the venue: Casey Droege of Casey Droege Cultural Productions (CDCP) expanded from the still current Small Mall space 5300 Butler St Lawrenceville into the former Percolate Gallery space Wilkinsburg in summer of 2019. The director of Percolate Gallery Space Carolyn Pierotti stayed on as a key partner in Droege’s Wilkinsburg expansion named CDCP Project Space.
