Youngstown show opens to the excited gallery goers!

Youngstown - the early years explores my recollections of the 1960's. The show at Spark Gallery consists of six large 60" x 48" encaustic and ink paintings. I also have a smaller collection of six encaustic works 10" x 10" titled citystatezipanywhereus. This work is based on maps, street grids with county overlays. The opening was fantastic with friends and family stopping in all night. After the opening a few of us went to the Interstate for the postparty celebration into the wee hours.

ALUMNI Exhibit at University of Denver- Opens September 30th

In the studio-working towards October

This past week has been great. I had a lot of work to get done. I decided to just work in the studio-all day -all evening. No appointments. No errands, etc. nataa. you get the idea.
(Kids are finally all either in college or graduated and working. )

In the past, having an artist residency somewhere wonderful like I did at VCCA, Anderson Ranch and SFAI has been immensely helpful to work uninterrupted on a series of work I thought why not just have one here rather than moving all my equipment, etc.


Yes, it worked. My paintings for Youngstown-the early years to open Oct 22 at Spark Gallery are really busting at the seams.

Also, wanted to mention that four pieces from "The Great Marsh" series were juried into the upcoming 2010 Juried Alumni Show at DU. The opening is Thursday, Sept. 10 5-8 pm. The jurors were none other than Nora Burnett Abrams from MCA -Denver and Linny Frickman, Director of the CSU Museum. Hope to see you there.
