Introducing the newest creations from my studio. "Gone Girls" (right) was finished just in time for delivery on December 27. The cutaway collage underlayers were complicated with stenciling and spray paint.. I finally found a complete balance, and was thrilled to add it to the collection of new work. 

"Hype" (below) contains the predominant theme of "don't believe the hype" there's a lot of hot air out there. We just need the truth not alternative facts, I don't think that's asking for too much. Currently on view at 10 West Gallery in Santa Barbara, CA through January 28, 2018.

Hurricane Mama Cuts Loose  That is the sign at the entrance to my studio, and that is my current theme for life. I am a flurry of activity - painting, writing, creating my own urban walls on panels/paper/canvas. And gluing.. papers flying everywhere as I work on a new phase of collage for upcoming shows. I have been on a tear (no pun intended) working on some rad new ideas to be revealed in the next month or so.

New work was delivered for the June show at 10 West Gallery and the ArtSEE benefit for SEE International. Both paintings sold at the benefit, and a large 5 ft painting was sold at 10 West the very next day after it was hung! Round that off with a trip to the Bay area - visiting family and bouncing around the city - as well as teaching another 3-day Abstract Layering Workshop (Level 1), and a 4-week Workshop (Level 2), it has been a crazy few months!!

San Francisco was incredibly inspiring as we roamed through Chinatown, Chestnut St and Haight-Ashbury. We even managed to score some tickets to the Art Market San Francisco at Fort Mason Center. Not as large as expected for an art fair, but plenty of eye popping gorgeous colors, art and inspiration. Lots of photographing around the city, and I discovered my newest obsession...
