JOIN ME FOR A VIRTUAL TOUR

WHEN: 4/22/22, 12pm

WHERE: Zoom

Join me for a tour of my studio as it is on 4/22, at noon. You'll sign up my emailing me back here, and I'll send out an invite the day of the tour, a bit before noon with a Zoom link. I will record the meeting and have replays available, but should you want to interact with me and ask questions, I will be planning another tour once the studio is finally finished. 

Chance to Own A TraillWork, and Support DAG

Want to collect one of my remaining apron paintings AND support an amazing cause? "Bound Chopper" is currently available in an online auction to benefit the Durham Art Guild, one of the 5 oldest visual arts organizations in the country, established in 1948, and supports artists all over the Triangle. 

Framed in an antiqued silver moulding (see exhibit photo above), and at 12" x 16", this oil on panel will work into almost any space. You can even swap out the frame for a more modern look. The painting depicts a vintage chopper seated on a red Cosco stool, bound in a blue striped taffeta apron. There's a nod to Renaissance portraiture in this piece, but painted in a highly expressive impasto style.

The Cosco stool is returning to my newer work, but found itself in many of my works in my early career. This painting is signed Schaeffer, my maiden name. My newer works after 2013 have been signed Traill (my middle name, and namesake of my studio, TraillWorks).

You can Bid through April 5th at 7pm, using the Durham Art Guild's online auction platform. Bidding starts at $200 for this piece.

Hi There , 

Leaving you a quick personal note - if you're still with me! I'm so excited by the changes above in my studio and the opportunities that are slowly developing. I'm trying to embrace going slow. It's the only way I could manage this huge relocation. (We moved from NJ in July, ICYMI).  

There never seems to be enough space in a newsletter or on social media to share everything. Don't forget about my web site - I'm gradually updating sections so there might be something new to see. So please keep sticking with me, I promise more good things are coming as my space finishes up and we settle in a little more to Durham. If you have questions or want to connect more personally, don't hesitate to reach out. 

Creatively,
