One Man Show at the School of Visual Arts
Hello everyone –
I am pleased to announce I have installed a One Man Show at SVA, The School of Visual Arts, in New York City.
I created the Raw Sienna series of paintings in conjunction with the courses, “Paint Your Own Vision” with Seth Michael Forman and “Portrait Painting” with John Parks. The work is on display in the SVA exhibition space at 209 East 23rd Street until November 30th.
The Raw Sienna series has no determined boundary. The story occurring outside the canvas is equally as important as what is depicted within.
Each viewer will supply their own narrative to the works, their own thoughts on the location and events, whether viewing an individual painting or the interaction that forms between collected works on display.
As each new showcase of work can vary in layout and orientation, every viewing will yield a new and unexpected narrative.
As always, I would be grateful for any feedback you might have. Thank you!

Over 20 New Paintings Added
Hello everyone –
I have spent the past year focusing increasingly on my painting creations, experimenting with two new painting series. Water and Raw Sienna.
Water is vital for life. Water is in continuous motion. Water cycles through evaporation, condensation, precipitation. Water heals. Water… erodes. Water is an experimental series of paintings. The human narrative is still there, but the subjects are now interconnected with this additional elemental force. As paint is applied to the canvas, the water will deteriorate that same paint and wash it away. Colors bleed, the subjects are obscured, and the water brings an extension of emotion. As with all my works, I ask the viewer to bring their own interpretation to each painting, and create a new and unique story each time the work is viewed.
The Raw Sienna series has no determined boundary. What happened outside of the canvas is equally as important as what is depicted within. The viewer is engaged to bring their own thoughts on environment and setting and to the painting. Each viewer will supply their own narrative to the works, whether viewing an individual painting or the implied interaction between works on display.
There are also a few new Big Heads and Miscellaneous paintings added in as well. In total, 24 new paintings have now been added to the site, and can be viewed in the Paintings galleries.
As always, I would be grateful for any feedback you might have. Thank you!
