New Website

I have created a new blog that is built into the website. There you can follow my updates as I post in progress reports and photos of paintings, exhibition news, interesting finds, and more.

Thank you.

Six Footer Update

This painting has transformed into multiple manifestations over the past couple of weeks. This is not a final state, but just a resting place for reassessment.

Continuing Series

These paintings are a visual exploration of the ineffable forces and energies of life. Encountering the intangible entities as they reveal themselves as visionary encounters in nature. It is defying or succumbing to gravity.

It's the end of the year.

Zine Town

Sometimes it takes more than painting and drawing. It was a pleasure to connect with my friends, Alicia Obermeyer and Lindsey Evans, in the creation of this zine. It is sincere, raw, heartfelt and at times sarcastic, dishonest and subversive and esoteric. There will be many more to come. It could possibly still be found in Quimby's bookstore downtown Chicago, but I highly doubt it. If there is another one in the pipeline I'll put out some sort of mailing list sign up.

I encourage making and doing in all forms be it building, writing, composing, playing music, etc. And it is always better with friends.
