My solo show displays paintings as small as your palm, up to several feet tall. I have been sharing these works with audiences at museums and art centers around the world, starting with the Kinshankin Museum in Tokyo in Jan/Feb 2020 and finishing with The Customs House Museum in TN July to Sept. of 2023.  In between, these paintings have traveled to numerous venues, including Kansas, Montana, North Carolina, Virgina, New York and Canada.

Join me 5 to 7pm on Friday July 5, 2024 for my opening reception. I'll also be there 10am to 2pm on the Second Saturday July 13 doing a painting demonstration.

Smith House Galleries

In 2005, the Daily News-Record gifted a home known as the “Smith House” (ca. 1867) to Arts Council of the Valley (ACV) in an effort to save the historic building from demolition. However, the gift came with one catch: the building needed to be moved from its residing Liberty Street location by June 30 of that year.

With time ticking, ACV board members and community leaders embarked on an ambitious capital campaign to renovate and relocate the house. On June 23, 2005, the Smith House was placed on a truck and driven to its new 311 S. Main Street location, where it has since served faithfully as the Arts Council's administrative offices.

With generous support from the Strickler family and local business owner James McHone, the Smith House slowly evolved into the gallery space that it is today. Composed of the Rhapsody Room and the Darrin-McHone Gallery, the Smith House Galleries provides local and emerging artists the opportunity to exhibit in a space that is as community-oriented and exciting as the day it was trucked downtown.
