New Representation in Dallas Texas & The closing month of Personal Structures in Venice.

I’m honored to be with Breitbard Williams Fine Art in Dallas Texas. BWFA is a unique blend of art consulting and fine art gallery. Their 5200 square foot design district location showcases a revolving group show of over 50 mid-career to blue-chip contemporary artists.

Many Thanks to the ECC during the closing month of Personal Structures: Beyond Boundaries. They have done an extraordinary job in the organization and curation of this exhibition.

Finding Clarity in the Rough

June 2020 - COVID has changed us forever and interrupted our lives. Uncertainty is something we live with now. However, some of these changes brings us more strength.

Substance of Nature

Wow, what a day! I started with a morning kayaking trip, then the afternoon took my breath away after seeing “Fabienne Verdier - Sur Les Terres de Cézanne” exhibition at the Musée Granet in Aix-en-Provence. Her spirit captured me. Sometimes everything in the day just falls into place, one action after another giving a sense of purpose.

Vulnerability and Strength

Life changes create new ideas and new work. I had a lot of life changes in 2018. These works reflect those changes. I decided to share the process I went through to develop this highly personal body of work. They will be exhibited in Washington DC at Susan Calloway Fine Art in Georgetown. Opening Reception is May 4th.

The Forbidden City

The Forbidden City was such an impressive place. There were many gates, one after another, each with their own name and meaning. Walking through each gate I felt like I was entering into something more precious or secret. The last gate opened into the Imperial Gardens; a jewel at the end of the palace. There were so many unique old trees. I was taken by the respect and care given to these trees. Some of them were hundreds if not a thousand years old and had metal structures to hold up the large branches.
