For your viewing pleasure: Artist at Work
I finally found my tripod. So I decided to film a time-lapse video of me working in my studio. I’m actually completely done with the collage portion of this GIGANTIC mixed media painting. I can’t wait to work on the other parts of it. This video is about half hour of work collapsed into about…

An over due update
The wall has been going through some changes these last few weeks. There’s been some problem solving, much needed breaks, and some breakthroughs. I’m really having fun with this project and the idea has taken on a different kind of significance and study. I feel like it’s moving forward. So with the much needed breaks…

Great News
So excited that my art made it into another water show. This will be my second water – themed exhibit and I couldn’t be more happier.

New Series…beginning
After a wonderful opening this weekend at the Workhouse Arts Center, I am back at it again. This time I’ve decided to work on some wood. I ordered some cypress wood rounds, and decided to go back to using some thread. So I don’t know if this qualifies as a painting. Right now it seems…

New work on view tomorrow!
Come see new work at the Workhouse Arts Center. I’m really proud of this body of work. 18 new pieces on wood. 18 rivers of the world represented. When I started creating these works my goal was to experiment with the textures of the wood. How would the washes lay on top of the grain? …

What’s going on?
Well, I’ve been a bit too busy this past month. I’ve finished my pieces for a “Spotlight” show at the Workhouse Arts Center (18 pieces total). I’ve been applying to shows all over the metro area, and I started a new part time teaching job. Needless to say, I’ve been neglectful of my blog. I’m…
