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.
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.
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.
A video of “Signals” hanging at Haven Gallery in Long Island, New York. This is part of my ongoing solo show “The Shadowland”.
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 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 small surreal piece is part of my upcoming show “The Shadowland”. The exhibit opens tomorrow at Haven Gallery!

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!
This painting is signed, varnished and framed! It will be at my solo show “the Shadowland” at Haven Gallery. The exhibit opens March 29th.
