The Parker Company of Lynn, Massachusetts has just released the news that Margret Short of Milwaukie, Oregon will be the 2005-2006 featured artist in the Parker Company Travel Catalogue. This prestigious honor goes to one artist each year who has traveled and worked in Italy.

During a ten week painting trip to Italy, Ms. Short produced many images which represent the splendid beauty of both the villages and the countryside.

This 400 page full color hardbound book will feature Ms. Short’s images throughout and is expected to be available early spring of 2005.
