Jonesport Public Library Silent Auction

The Jonesport Public Library means a lot to me.  That's where I was invited to first show my work in a public venue by the Art in the Library group, spearheaded by Marshia Brown.  These shows resulted in some of my earliest sales, giving me much needed moral support.
This coming Thursday, August the 7th, they will be conducting a silent auction of a whole lot of donated stuff, including one of my paintings, Triptych:  Evening Shadows, Carrying Place, Hancock.  Hope to see you there!

Announcement: One-Man Show - sort of...

I have been invited to put together a one-man show at the Jonesport-Beals Peabody Memorial Public Library during the month of July.  I will be hanging a selection of my work on Sunday, July 6th, and the show will open on Tuesday, July the 8th and go through July 31st, with the Opening Reception on Saturday, July the 12th from 2:30 until 5:00.  If you are in the area, I would love to see you there.  Let the fun begin!

These and others will be shown.

I have invited three other artists to join me:  Jolene Harmon, Nancy Kahler, and Robin Rier,  They will hang 2-4 works each.

Now in Four Downeast Galleries!

After a month of focused marketing efforts, my work is now represented by four downeast art galleries, the Schooner Gallery in Milbridge, Tunk Mountain Arts and Crafts on Blacks Woods Road (Rt. 182) in Cherryfield, the Woodwind Gallery in Machias, and the ARTWORKSOFMAINE Gallery in Lubec.  Here is one of my paintings hanging in my latest gallery, Tunk Mountain Arts and Crafts:

Go see them, and tell them Karsten sent you!

Special thanks to the gallery proprietor, Cynthia Huntington, and the members of the art jury, who graciously accepted my work!
