Santa Fe Art Institute

I’m thankful to have an artist residency at Santa Fe Art Institute for the month of April. I arrived after a few busy days in Scottsdale, AZ. I am looking forward to a very productive month in a stunning setting.

First hike with fellow residents Sal Strom and Emily Adams. We hiked the Kitchen Mesa trail at Abiquiu, and soaked up the vibes of Georgia O’Keeffe. Image

New Paintings at Gebert Contemporary

Gebert Contemporary is showcasing new paintings this month on view through May 4, 2013. It was a real treat to be at the opening and meet many new faces. The show looks fantastic — paintings always come to life in natural light, and Scottsdale has plenty!

I have a show opening on Friday, February 15th at Cleveland’s William Busta Gallery. On view will be several new paintings and field work from a recent solo cross country road trip (photographs, drawings and video). I’m in high gear and not sure if I remember or want to remember how to shift.
