Finished

Nearly a year after orginitation COBRA, the first in the series, is complete.

Not the best photo (click on the image for a better view), it is difficult to show the detail of such a large drawing. But I wanted to get something up as soon as possible. Better images of the work to come on my website.

Branching Out

I have received an "Inspiration Pack" from UPPERCASE Gallery.


It is meant as a resource for the Old School exhibition and book that will be happening this fall. It was a great treat via international mail and I hope to starting working on my piece for the show shortly! While I don't usually make work specifically for themed group exhibitions, this concept was irresistible.

More on this project to come.

Camphor Studios

The art space finally has a name, Camphor Studios.


With the weather warming up, I have been spending more and more time at the studio. Its beautiful there. I am planting a small container garden of edible flowers and vegetables (including this lovely viola above). And, of course, working away on the self-portrait series.

Thank you to all who came to the party last night. It was a lot of fun. We are planning many more events for the summer. The first being an art sale and opening party on June 14th. Hope to see you there!
