My 2020 Calendar is here! This calendar was inspired by my dogs, Alfie and Aleida who live with me on the Island of Martha’s Vineyard. Every painting shows them finding fun things to do with their furry Islander friends throughout the seasons. From the quiet calm of Christmas in Edgartown to the first true beach day in June there’s always somewhere nice to go and something marvelous to do together.
I live year round on the Island. This is the third year I have painted and put together a calendar but this is the first year I've attempted to sell them.

The cover of the Calendar shows January’s painting of the polar plunge on New Years day
The backside of the calendar shows thumbnail images of all the months and includes a description and a short bio of the artist and a photograph of me with my husband and daughter.

March: Enjoying lunch and lively conversation in the Hay Cafe during the annual Martha’s Vineyard Film Festival in Chilmark.
June: A day of early summer sun on the nude beach in Aquinnah. Alfie doesn’t like to be nude so he wore his 1920’s bathing costume.
