News & Upcoming Shows

The 2010 season is starting out well, despite chilly temps here in Florida. I won an Award of DIstinction at ArtFest Fort Myers two weeks ago, continuing my streak (toot, toot!)! ArtiGras was good on Valentines Day weekend, and now I head for sunny Arizona for a couple of shows near Phoenix. You can catch some of my new work at the Fountain Hills Great Fair, and up in Carefree at the Carefree Art and Wine Festival. I'll be back to Florida in March for Winter Park and Bonita Springs. It's gonna be a lot of driving, Can you say "Road Trip"? Click for an updated schedule.

I'm still working on images from last year's trips, including images from the Superstition Mountains in Arizona and the famous California ghost town, Bodie. You can view the Bodie slide show here. Some of those images are represented in the New Work Gallery as well and will be available during the upcoming shows.

If you'd like to be notified when the galleries are updated, add your name to my email list. Sometime this year, I plan to revise the gallery sections, to make it easier for you to find images. If you have any suggestions on improvements, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

You might find my blog in the Studio section interesting -- you can subscribe to the feedburner feed for auto-updates. Socialize with me on Facebook (parkerparker) and Twitter (@dakkid).

And finally, thanks to all of you for making this the most fun job in the world! I couldn't do it without the support of my patrons, my family and most of all, my lovely wife and art-show partner, Karyn.
