I've always wanted to have a show here because my work is a perfect fit! As you know, I'm all about the healing power of nature. The work will be up for public viewing March 22nd through June 2nd, 2024. Excited that it will be on view during their big 60th anniversary celebration on June 1st. The reception is on Sunday, March 24th from 1:00 - 3:00 in the Clark Gallery.
Work included are paintings that are left from both the Fight or Flight series and the Water, Altitude, & Atmosphere series. I'll also be unveiling the first of a new series about dreams. This first painting is based on dreams of Fernwood.

MAAC in the Box!
My piece, Lunar Spring, was accepted into the MAAC (Michiana Annual Art Competition) Competition this year, which took place between May 19th and July 9th. Didn't win any award, but did score 41 votes from the public for favorite piece. People paid $1.00 for each vote and the proceeds were matched by the Judds and went to The Box Factory for the Arts.
My work shown at Swiss Art Expo in Zürich, Switzerland AGAIN!!! So jazzed! This is my 3rd year! My piece,The Rhythm of Sea & Sky was presented through the Art Box Gallery, Zürich. This monster is a 36" x 50" acrylic painting on gallery-wrapped canvas and is the center piece of my new series.
Returned for a 3rd time to exhibit at Webster's in the Radisson Plaza Hotel in Kalamazoo, MI. This was the 1st physical Art Hop since Covid hit and it was so good to see people out and about and attending events like this.

ArtPrize 7
September 24 - October 11, 2015
Fifth Third Warner, Norcross & Judd
Grand Rapids, Michigan
Exhibited for the second time this year and had a blast! This tiny 1-1/2" Silver Studded Blue butterfly was painted during my ongoing demos. I had a sign that read, "Be Right Back" and another that read, "Talk to Me!". Several times when I forgot to change these signs on my easel when I left my chair, people tried to talk to this little guy...LOL!!! It always brightened my day when this happened.
422,763 people voted at ArtPrize 7...no telling how many people actually attended. If you've never checked out
this event, you owe it to yourself to see it. Art is everywhere in every form you can imagine...sculptures on top of buildings and in the river, paintings and 3D art in banks, yogurt shops, major hotels...any business that wants to be
a venue, can be. Not to mention all of the great street musicians that perform throughout the city during this event!
