🌿 Nature’s Rhythm in Miniature — Live with Rashmi Rao
Join me as I bring a tiny 3x3 world to life—this time inspired by my Nature’s Rhythm solo show and the ever-changing poetry of my own backyard.
Using soft body acrylics, I’ll be capturing those fleeting, quiet moments… the glow of early light, the softness of moving skies, the gentle rhythm that nature whispers every day.
These miniature landscapes may be small in size, but they carry layers of emotion, movement, and connection—each one a reflection of stillness, flow, and presence.
Come by, pause for a moment, and experience how these little pieces unfold—from blank canvas to a living, breathing scene. I’d love to share the process, the stories, and the inspiration behind them with you. ✨
🎁 RAFFLE BONUS
Attend the demo and you’ll be entered to win the original painting I create!
Not the winner? You'll still receive a special nature-inspired coloring sheet to take home and enjoy.Let’s celebrate art, nature, and connection—one mini at a time. 💛
Hope to see you there!

Step into the studio for a rare opportunity to view David Goosman's largest-ever public display of fine woodturnings—25 exceptional pieces, most of them past award-winners. Though no longer creating new work due to recent surgeries, David is excited to share these stunning pieces and will be present to explain his process and techniques. Only a few works will be available for sale, making this a truly special viewing experience.
Also on display are the vibrant and expressive artworks by Bettie Goosman, whose rich practice in painting and drawing continues to inspire.
Don't miss this one-time chance to see such a significant collection of David’s masterful woodturnings—many of which have only been seen in juried exhibitions until now.
