IF YOU’RE LOOKING FOR ME THIS SATURDAY, JUNE 1, I’LL BE SELLING MY ARTWORK AT GLOVER PARK DAY AT GUY MASON RECREATION CENTER, FROM 11 AM TO 5 PM. THE RECREATION CENTER IS LOCATED AT WISCONSIN AVENUE AND CALVERT STREETS NW. MUSIC, FOOD, AND A VARIETY OF VENDORS WILL BE THERE!

ON SUNDAY, JUNE 2, I’LL BE AT EASTERN MARKET ON CAPITOL HILL FROM 9 AM TO 4 PM, on the Plaza just north of the Market Building at North Carolina Avenue & 7th Street SE. Feel free to call or text me at 202-390-9069 if you can’t find me, or if the weather turns iffy and you want to make sure I’m at the Market.

Eastern Market is DC’s longest operating public market, dating to the city’s founding in 1790. Early city planners Thomas Jefferson and Pierre L’Enfant situated large markets in each of the District’s quadrants. The original Eastern Market was located next to the Navy Yard on Capitol Hill. It moved to its present location in 1873. Eastern Market proudly reflects our city’s diverse culture, where people of all colors, ages, and beliefs come to shop and mingle.

WHAT DOES DC LOOK LIKE? The squat red building that is Ben’s Chili Bowl?  The White House? Frederick Douglass’s house?  The arches of Key Bridge, or the marshes of the Anacostia? I sell more than 100 views and maps of the city as matted prints, ranging in size from 8″x10 to 16″x20″ for $15 to $45 each.

Limited-edition prints, published by Old Town Editions of Alexandria, include the Rock Creek Park and National Mall maps, 18th Street in Adams Morgan, the Neighborhoods of Washington, DC, and the DC Cherry Blossoms Kimono. These numbered, signed pieces are created by Old Town Editions using the most advanced digital printing processes, resulting in the truest reproductions of the original watercolors that will last decades before yellowing in fading.
