*** these are quick snapshots (yes, the dreaded camera-phone) and the works look MUCH better in person - color, texture, etc.

Many of you have asked if I have a website showing my recent mixed media works. For the time being I don't - but adding a quick photo posting of available works to this blog should be the next best thing. This is a selection of what's available but remember I have many more small and affordable pieces that aren't shown. Please feel free to email me for prices, dimensions or to arrange to see the piece in person. Or stop by one of my upcoming shows between now and Christmas.

New York City, July 2009

Inspiration found in everyday NYC. Streets, signs, objects, decay, beauty, design. These are a few photos taken over the past weekend on the lower East Side. Out of the many I took, I've edited them down to 22 images. I'll further abstract them to create a new collage/painting series inspired by NYC to be ready by the fall.

Sunday, May 31, Handmade Mart in Silver Spring

In the studio here in Woodley Park - tons of new work! Getting ready for my first indie art show next Sunday in Silver Spring, Maryland. I'm having sooo much fun working with recycled & re-purposed materials for mounting my collages, photographs and mixed media pieces. I've salvaged decorative wood substrate backings from old houses in Lewes and Washington - - and even from the old interior of Eastern Market on Capitol Hill. More info on the show can be found here:

Handmade Mart is May 31, 2009, 10am-5pm Ellsworth Drive (Between Fenton Ave. and Georgia Ave.) Downtown Silver Spring. Powered by the Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, the Handmade Mart will host more than 50 independent crafters for a unique shopping experience along the bustling Ellsworth Drive in Downtown Silver Spring. Along with an awesome array of craft vendors, the Handmade Mart will also feature a full day of live indie rock, and hands-on workshops at the Pyramid Atlantic Store. http://handmademart.blogspot.com/ for vendor interviews and a link to their facebook page.
