My
watercolor
in this group show at the stylish 2nd City Council Gallery
was featured on the cover of the Long Beach
District Weekly, April 2 issue (right).
The magazine's creative director Heather Swaim described it as
"beautiful in a renaissance
kind of way. Something about the juxtaposition of the
cut flowers and the bird – death and life –
and the really photorealist depiction...
It hurts in a beautiful way."
This same painting will soon be featured at Left Coast Galleries
in Studio City,
in a group show opening Thursday, April 24, 2008 (details above).

RECENT SHOWS:
Curated by Raoul De la Sota, this exhibit brought together 14 Los Angeles artists
who share a common interest in the unseen, and who explore,
in varying degrees, the duality of
a symbolic, non-material reality existing side by side with the contemporary
urban experience. I contributed five works to this show -- three oil paintings
at the main gallery space at Barnsdall Art Park, and two additional works
(including the watercolor to the right) that are still on view
at the Los Angeles International Airport.

Bandini Art Gallery
in Culver City recently featured over a dozen of my recent works on paper,
in a two-person exhibit with assemblage artist Ashley McLean Emenegger.
Called
You are here,
this exhibit explored issues of
presence, perspective, and impermanence. My contribution was a series of
watercolors that combine fictional scenes of impending
disaster with word play and dark humor.
With its growing lineup of new and established contemporary art galleries,
Culver City
has become an exciting new art destination --
a hot zone for contemporary art on the West Coast.
Come see what's happening...

I have been making art obsessively all my life.
My work is concerned with fragility,
mortality and desire --
these paintings are part of my ongoing project to render an interior reality
characterized by an atmosphere of disquiet and an acute sense
of the impenetrable strangeness and fragility of life.

please feel free to contact me.
