2026 Schedule
This year I will largely be doing fewer and smaller shows as I need to spend more time at home as I care for my parents. Add to that a family wedding in June and it’s going to be a busy summer regardless!
(If there is a particular painting you are interested in seeing first hand and know you will be attending one of my upcoming shows, feel free to send me a message with the info and I can make sure to bring it to that show jay@janobastudios.com)

Daffodil Bazaar & Vendor Fair
Danielson has long had a festival in the spring welcoming the warmer months of the year after the frozen, long winter nights that have kept us inside. The Daffodil Bazaar & Vendor Fair carries on that tradition in a small way.
I love being part of this as Westfield UCC is a very open and loving environment!
