Studio update - September 2013

There's a lot of activity this month - in the studio and out.  I've been in the studio finishing the painting,  Dark Blue Sea, and starting a new group of paintings for a solo exhibition coming up in September 2014.


I also have a  number of events coming up this fall:

ArtGraze Salon Show

This weekend (Sept. 13-14) ArtGraze will be hosting a weekend exhibition and speaking event in Santa Fe. The exhibition includes works by 29 artists who are members of ArtGraze's art and design community.  I will have three paintings in the exhibition.
