An abstracted and bit surreal painting in the studio. Some of the subtleties of the mark making are lost in static images so I posted a video today.
The summer solstice, hang onto this light.

Shine Again (Denver)
One of two paintings I am finalizing for a group exhibit at Abend Gallery in Denver, Colorado.
Abend is a great gallery and it was nice to be invited to participate in this show! I am currently working on work for a show at another gallery so June is very busy.
Rolling On
I am very fond of this little painting. It will probably end up at a small works show this fall, or I might hang onto it.
Every fall galleries reach out asking for small works. I generally am ill prepared but this year I am squirreling small pieces away… sometimes I learn.
Sun Season
A new painting in my Idaho studio. I am so excited for the long days of summer.
Intersections in Time
Something special in this one. I am always chasing that emotional connection in my work. It continues to drive me on.
I am really excited to be back in the studio after a vacation down to warmer country. The studio is the one place where possibilities seem endless. It is difficult and frustrating but still an escape from the crush of life.
Grand Mystery
A new dramatic painting. Exploring the magic and the mystery.
I love heavy atmosphere and dramatic lighting. The subject is endlessly fascinating and exciting to me. It always feels spiritual and intriguing.
Weight of Years
A bit of crimson and gray on the easel, perhaps a dragon. I am continuing my work on 18” x 24” panels, very fun scale to work at.
I have show coming up this summer at Radius Gallery in Missoula, Montana. I have a long way to go, not a lot of time.
Signals (Haven Gallery)
A video of “Signals” hanging at Haven Gallery in Long Island, New York. This is part of my ongoing solo show “The Shadowland”.
Whisper Dawn (SOLD)
I was happy to hear that this painting was sold through Momentum Gallery in Asheville, North Carolina. These photographs were taken almost exactly a year ago.
The Shadowland March 29th – April 27th
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!
