We are confronted each day by an onslaught of images. Shapes and colors create subtle relationships while our eyes scan each approaching wave. People, moving or stagnant, have varying personalities and emotions, but can also be analyzed purely on the visual. An African American standing by a white; puffy curly hair bouncing by long swaying […]

Summer simmers and the sun hangs low as locals brave the streets after the annual early summer onslaught of tourists. Streets find relief and the rolling waves are no longer overwhelmed as long trails of motor homes and minivans putter back inland like a scrap laden trail of ants. What is better than late August […]
Ideas hang in our minds like the ripening fruit of a prosperous tree. With time and care, they become plump, colored with age and ready to fall to the ground. If your mind was a tree and your ideas fruit, what would you grow? When ripe and heavy, let your ideas fall to the ground. […]

A body of work that lacks a theme in terms of subject, but finds harmony in technique. They are gestural but restricted… spontaneous but premeditated…this is my current work… […]
Each weekend morning started the same. As the day wiped its sleepy eyes and my neighbors brewed coffee, I dragged my stencils into place and begun an onslaught of splatters.

With two more days until my show, I sit relaxed and ready. My paintings are finished, my promotions all placed and all business set. I breath deep and relax for the first time in 7 months as I reflect on my journey. I sit atop a gift, wrapped and waiting to be given to our […]

The chamber’s project attempts to “promote a sense of community.” Local artists are given the opportunity to adopt hydrants or electrical boxes to paint. Each adopted location has a price of $300-750 depending […]
