Join me for a special live painting demo inspired by my ongoing 3x3 Nature Views series—a personal journey of capturing quiet, beautiful moments from the hills, skies, and light around my home.
I’ll be painting one of these tiny landscapes live, sharing a peek into my process and how these small pieces hold big emotion.
✨ RAFFLE BONUS! Everyone who attends the demo will be entered into a raffle to win the original piece I paint during the session.
Not the winner? No worries—each guest will receive a special nature-inspired coloring sheet to take home and enjoy.
Come connect, watch the magic unfold, and feel the joy of art and nature, one mini at a time.

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.
