Work in Progress

I've been busy for the last several weeks working toward my next exhibition, at the Elliott Fouts Gallery, in June. Over the years I've documented my progress in the studio in black and white photography.

At one point in my life, I spent a tremendous amount of time in a traditional wet dark room, with an enlarger and rolls and rolls of black and white film. I love the aesthetic of a black and white image. I think they tell a story in a different way, unlike colour images.

I'm deep in the details of painting and love and appreciate every minute I get to do it. Over the coming weeks, you can expect more progress images.

Anna Enquist Book Cover

A painting that I did a few years ago is being used for the cover of a new book published in the Netherlands. The book is an anthology of poetry from Anna Enquist.

A while back I also I had some images used by an Italian book publisher. It's an honour having the images used. I just wish I was able to read the books as they're never in English.

Also, it's been a long while since I have published anything on this blog. I settled in for my long winter painting session. Soon I'll share some progress images of what I've been up to.

Recent Paintings / George Billis Gallery LA

For years now, I've been asked several times if I'm showing my work in Los Angeles. Finally, I'm excited to announce my first solo exhibition at the George Billis Gallery LA, in Culver City (you can find the gallery here).

The show runs from November 17, 2012 - January 5, 2013.

I'll be in attendance for the opening reception, on Saturday, November 17 from 5 - 8pm.
