I attended the “Fathom”, show opening last night. A truly beautiful exhibit. Two painters and a ceramic artist from three different states. I didn’t take many photos just hung out and talked to some people.
Things have been pretty heavy. Trying to enjoy the light and the days. Here are a couple scenes from home.
The Shadow Land
I invite you to step into The Shadow Land, my solo exhibition where I explore the
emotional landscapes of psychological isolation, beauty, and dreams. Through my
latest paintings, I aim to create a space where light and shadow come together,
revealing the delicate tension between solitude and the quiet beauty that resides
within. In these paintings, dreams are not just a form of escape, but a way of engaging
with the deeper recesses of the self.
The Shadow Land is not just an exhibition for me; it’s a personal journey I share with
you, inviting you to explore the emotional depths of the human experience. In the
quietest moments, we often find the most profound beauty.
These are just a few of the 15 featured new paintings in the show!
This dark waterscape is part of my upcoming solo show at Haven Gallery! The exhibit is titled “The Shadowland” it opens March 29th.
This was the last painting framed for the show. I thought this was a 9” x 12” painting but when I went to frame it I discovered it was 10” wide… a rush shipping and I got the proper frame just in time!
I varnished, framed and packed four new paintings. They are heading to Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado. They will be part of a small works exhibition, really pleased to be included. It is a great gallery, I had a solo show at the gallery in 2020.
Yesterday I shipped off this new painting to an art collector in Massachusetts! The buyer chose no frame but rather gold leaf edges (visible in the video). This all resulted in a lovely piece. The downside is I have gold flakes all over the studio floor.
My new painting! It feels really great, painting at a larger scale. The summer was pretty much all small boards. It was a very practical approach but not entirely satisfying.
My parents have headed back to Arizona. The weather is cooling so I will be in the studio much more. I have felt desperate to get lost in my work but everything feels very sad now. I will do what I do, keep pushing forward with my art. I suppose it is a strange way to spend my time, I know it makes no sense.
Three acrylic paintings that are part of my upcoming show at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. Twenty paintings will be available and the show opens May 9th!
I am busy finalizing and framing 20 new paintings for my upcoming solo show. The exhibition will take place May 9th at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. This painting is called “spiritual”, it is ready to pack.
I just put the final coat of varnish on this painting last night. Such a dramatic piece, excited to send it to my solo show at Momentum Gallery in Asheville, N.C. The show opens May 9th, I have 20 paintings to frame, pack up and ship!
