    Showing. Charlotte & Sacramento!

    Hiya! I have a couple more shows opening this month to tell you about, just in case you missed them on my social media feeds.

    SHELTER, a mixed media, group art exhibition featuring new works from Janet Eskridge, Kim Ferreira, Lesley Frenz and Duy Huynh. We explore various themes of ‘shelter’,  from man-made and naturally occurring structures that nurture and protect, to symbolic spaces that offer emotional respite and refuge.

    SHELTER is up at Lark & Key in Charlotte and shoppable online on their website. The show is now through November 27th, their regular retail hours are 10am-3pm Wed- Fri and by appointment. They are open the 2nd Saturday and Sunday of each month, as well!

    Something New, is a group show featuring new work by Robert Adams, Najin Bae, John Karl Claes, Jaime Longa, Manuel Nunes, Abigale Palmer, Justin Wheatley, and moi.

    Something New will be up at Elliott Fouts Gallery in Sacramento until November 7th and also shoppable online (isn’t the 21st century great?! You can buy art in your pjs!)

    Also, a bunch of new work is coming to J. Rinehart Gallery in Seattle next month! I am super pleased to be joining the roster of artists in this new Pioneer Square gallery and happy to add a retail gallery to my Seattle representation!

    Stay tuned for more on that new round of work– it’s an exciting bunch!

    Showing. Small Gems at EFG!

    I always think of this time of year as the season of sparkle– everything from the twinkle lights to the frosty morning dew feels glittering and special. I’m honored to be a part of the Small Gems show at Elliott Fouts Gallery, a showcase of small works perfect for gift giving!

    new ECHOES 12×12 paintings now at Elliott Fouts Gallery

    Living on the water in the Pacific Northwest, each day is spent gazing out and seeing how the water’s surface shifts and changes with the evolving light throughout the day, from the pink light of early morning to the glittering of evening lights across the water.

  • Scintilla.

    Scintilla.

    If you’re following along with me on Instagram, you may have seen a new series of tiny paintings I’ve been creating, SCINTILLA.

    These 4″ square works on deep cradled wood panel began as an exercise to fill the time while larger paintings dried.  I always find myself falling in love with the earliest stage of a painting– the stage in which I paint in a monochromatic palette to work out basic light, contrast, and composition.   So I thought these little pieces would be the perfect avenue to explore those monochromes as finished work.

    Beginning with one color, then adding white and grey for light and contrast, the compositions emerge intuitively.  I try not to begin with a set idea in mind, but instead allow a trace of a landscape to emerge slowly.

    The first eight of the SCINTILLA paintings are currently hanging at Elliott Fouts Gallery in Sacramento as part of their Small Gems show!  Check out the EFG website for pricing and contact information for the gallery.

    I’m looking forward to creating more in this series after I get settled into my new studio in Tacoma. Oh yeah, did I not mention we’re headed to Tacoma for the next six months?  🙂

    I’ll check in again once we get settled!  Meanwhile, check out the SCINTILLA series and all the other Small Gems on the EFG website!
