I am so glad your art is a part of this world.
Take care out there.

I love Atlanta! If you get time, go by the Youngblood Gallery and check out their Skate or DIE show. 106 beautiful custom skateboard decks by 105 artists that kick my ass! But, yeah, I got a piece up in there. If you are there promoting and scouting, The YB is run by some lovely ladies that know what they're doing, maybe a good place for your work. Tell 'em I sent ya! Have fun Megan!

Megan, have the BEST time in Georgia!!! I will be traveling there soon myself, my hubby would love to live where it's warmer, but i like being close to NYC!
ReplyDeleteWhat i've been working on... just finished a huge triptych commission piece for a designer's client in FL. Been in the studio for 14+ hours a day and loving it- no joke! I look forward to sharing my latest creations with you as soon as they are photographed. The series is about the fragility of our world (Explored through mixed media: cracked scapes, featers, eggshells, cheesecloth and other materials- suspended cityscapes), how we view the past, present, future simontaneously in our minds (Contemporary with the ancient), exploring whether time is visible.... do we make it visible in our paintings? And the voyage to our destination- apon arrival there are choices to be made (Golden ladders symbolizing hope, multiple doors, grids, and labyrinths made of thick plaster). View Quantum Solstice on my website for a visual(If you have time), it is the very first piece of the collection.
after finishing the collection (I have a couple more months ahead of me) i will be traveling to my favorite galleries in the US and the UK!
Thank you for letting me share my art on your blog, I enjoy reading about your here every week and wish you much continued success!
Cheers to ART!!!

Just some prints, and some small paintings...stop in if you get a chance!
Other than that I'm just getting settled in Portland. Lots of work...I'm feeling pretty exhausted right now. Oh well. It's so good to be home!
Hope you're well and safe on your trip!
I'm envious! Love Atlanta's art places. A friend send me your link and I'll definitely be back to read through your blog. Enjoyed your paintings on Etsy!
