Summer is one of my favorite times to meet people in person and share my work outside the gallery walls. I'm excited to be participating in the Art & Ale Fest at G5 Brewing Company in Beloit, Wisconsin, on Saturday, July 11, from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

This event brings together two things that naturally complement one another—local art and local craft beer. It's an opportunity to spend a relaxed afternoon exploring original artwork, discovering talented artists, and enjoying the welcoming atmosphere that makes community events like this so special.

I'll be bringing a selection of my original paintings inspired by the landscapes, rivers, flowers, and quiet moments that continue to inspire my work. Whether you've followed my artistic journey for years or are discovering my paintings for the first time, I'd love the opportunity to meet you, answer your questions, and share the stories behind the pieces.

One of the things I appreciate most about art festivals is the conversations. Seeing artwork in person creates an entirely different experience than viewing it on a screen. You can notice the texture of the paint, the movement of the brushstrokes, and the subtle colors that photographs often can't fully capture.

If you're looking for something fun to do this weekend, I hope you'll stop by. Bring a friend, enjoy a locally brewed pint, explore the artwork, and spend the afternoon supporting local artists and makers.

I look forward to seeing many familiar faces—and meeting some new ones.
