      <description>My painting, Nude Pregnant Woman, oil on paper, has been selected to be included in Au Naturel: The Nude in the 21st Century, an international juried exhibition presented by and shown at the Art Center Gallery of Clatsop College in Astoria, Oregon. The exhibition will be held March 15- May 15.&lt;br/&gt;This exhibition attracts artists from around the world whose work is exemplary of contemporary figurative drawing, painting, and printwork. Margaret Bullock, Curator of Collections and Special Exhibitions at the Tacoma Art Museum juried this year’s exhibition. Bullock carefully selected 68 pieces from over 360 submitted works of art. Submissions came from around the world, and work selected covers 4 continents.&lt;br/&gt;I was also fortunate to have a pastel painting, Granny’s Morning Hug, selected for Pastel National 2008, a national juried pastel exhibition at the Wichita Art Center in Wichita KS. The exhibit is March 14 through May 18th.&lt;br/&gt;</description>
