Boldbrush Award

I am so pleased, honored and humbled to have been awarded the June Boldbrush award for my painting, Studio View, depicting the view I have of New Jersey out my studio window through marbles on my windowsill.

Please pardon my lapse in postings, but I have been busy learning about and exploring my new city as well as painting several commissions and new works!
More exciting news-I am now represented by Brandt-Roberts Galleries on High Street in Columbus, Ohio and my work will be part of a group show, Clear Reflections, at Mason Fine Arts in Atlanta GA opening July 31. 

Good things, great weekend!

I'm thrilled to report that my show with Carl Holzman, Mid Century Revival, at the Marietta Cobb Museum of Art opened this past weekend.  Unfortunately I couldn't be two places at one time, and was thrilled to be in NYC for my daughters wedding.  I am so anxious to see the show later next month and hope you can get there too if you are in the area!

Spring Shows!

I am burying myself in the studio for the next few months as I prepare for two fabulous shows this spring.  "Moveable Feast" opens March 27th at the Hammond Harkins Gallery in Bexley, OH, with the opening reception from 5-8.  The following month "Mid-Century Revival" opens at the Marietta/Cobb Museum of Art in Marietta, GA.  This show will run through June 30th with the opening reception April 18th from 6-8 pm.
I won't be posting much before the shows, but here are sneak peeks from each show.

Happy New Year!

Happy 2015!  I've had a great start to the year! Thanks to the Shain Gallery for my first sale of the year, and thanks to Coca-Cola Corp. for not only including my work in the upcoming book on the 100th year of the bottle design, but for touring two of my paintings in a year long, 15 country tour along side the work of Andy Warhol, Norman Rockwell and more!!  I am so thrilled to have my work included in this show!

I spent a lot of time last fall in NYC- watching football games, exploring museums and neighborhoods and spending time with my two favorite people in the world, my kids!  My plans to move there are shaping up and I am trying to sort and organize ( not my strong suit) things before the big move.  In going through my things as well as my parents household, I am struck by the things we as humans keep and the things to which we attach value.  I have started a series that reflects this.  here is one of the first paintings.
