Things are drawing closer to my big show at Thinkspace next month! Just recently bought my plane tickets out there. And as such, the gallery has started a sneak peek album on their flickr to get the ball rolling. I'll have 18 new pieces altogether and am sharing the main room with talented artist, Caia Koopman. For anyone interested in getting 1st dibs at the work for show, or generally interested, feel free to contact the gallery about getting on the preview -- you can find through their web page www.thinkspacegallery.com or through their email contact@sourharvest.com.
I've shared a few of the teaser images released thus far below, but click this link to see the full set!
Also, there's a postcard now out for the show too, has a little snippet of one of my larger paintings in the exhibit.
Will be sharing more in the coming weeks! Thanks! |

I painted up a soup can for the 'I Like Soup' exhibit opening at the MoCA ( Museum of Contemporary Art http://www.cacv.org/ ) in Virginia on May 26th - August 19th. Will be donating all profits to the museum's education programs and the Foodbank of Southeastern VA.
For more info check out the link: http://www.virginiamoca.org/i-soup
Will share more information regarding soon!
Also, thought I'd share the 1st full image for my up-coming show at Thinkspace next month. This is the piece being used for the show card. Anyone interested in the show and the work may feel free to contact the Thinkspace Gallery about getting on the preview list.

So, I've been working hard and diligently since November on a body of work for my up-coming joint show at Thinkspace with Caia Koopman. The ad is finally out for our show and there's a little sneak peek to one of the pieces I'll have at the gallery. We decided to call the show 'Between Wind and Water' - it opens on June 16th and runs for the rest of the month. I'll have over 15 new works for show and sale. Anyone interested if best advised to contact the Thinkspace Gallery and get on the preview lists. As things draw nearer I'll continue to share more sneak peeks and studio shots ~
Thanks so much for your support! And though it's more than a month away, I'm hoping to be at the opening and look forward to meeting more of the LA crowd. Cheers and all the best :)! |

Hi guys,
So, the 'International Women' show opens at Warrington Museum today in the UK. Check below to see the full painting -- I based it off a drawing I made a little over two years ago, which you can see here. For anyone interested in the piece or the show, you can contact with the curators at their email Tina@shea-ziegler.com. The show runs until July 7th.

Hi there,
I have a sneak peak to share of a piece I'm sending off to the UK this week for the International Women's Show Opening on March 29th at the Warrington Museum. Lots of good company is this group show, too -- for more info check out my blog post from a week ago just below this posting.
Also, I finished up a painting I posted progress work from last week. Originally it had been painted to go towards the Dirty Show that just passed last month, but due to some unforeseen issues wasn't sent. However - I went ahead with her and am happy with the results. Probably the sexiest piece I've made thus far ~

Hi everyone, I've been busy painting, as per usual, and thought I'd share a little progress work on here. The 1st is a painting I originally started for the 'Dirty Show' that just past, but due to some unforeseen problems, was not included in the exhibit. Nonetheless, I went ahead with the work and found a nice home for her -- will post the final image of the painting soon! The second is something of a new years resolution for me -- I'm attempting a male portrait. Am quite happy with him at the moment, too, so I feel this may be a slightly more common venture for me in the future. The last is a sneak peak of a painting I recently started that will be going towards one of my bigger shows in the summer ~
** And I don't understand why, but the 2nd and the last image above have been distorted on this blog **
I also have a show coming up next month in the UK. An all girl group show at the Warrington Museum on March 29th! A lot of good company in the show -- I'll be sharing a next peak of my piece for the exhibit in the next coming weeks :)

Hi all, been delayed posting this, but I have a few things to share as of late. Have sent out some work for a show opening in LA next month -- the Affordable Art Fair, which starts on January 18th. I'll have two pieces and you can see some sneak peaks of those just below:
Anyone interested in the work can contact the Thinkspace Gallery -- www.thinkspacegallery.com. The good people over at Arrested Motion did some early coverage on the fair, as well, which you can see here.
Aside from shows, I've also recently sent out a couple paintings to the Mondo Bizzarro Gallery in Roma, for my Italian fans. Two older works - though the 'Snow White' drawing (left) is no longer available, anyone interested in the painting 'I Put a Spell on You' (right) can contact the gallery through their site.
Also, I've been working away at some commissions, as per usual. One, an illustration I just finished for a jewelry company, and the other a mythological inspired piece about Clytie and Apollo -- still very much in progress, but getting well on it's way so far. |
