The last show my work will be in for 2009!

I was flattered and delighted when Annie Newbold of Gallery 263 in Cambridge, MA wrote and asked me to participate in their holiday show. And when I brought in my pieces, my pleasure was multiplied. What a great set of work to be included amongst!

Each of 15 artists were invited to put together work for a 4' x 6' panel, and somehow this all comes together into a cohesive collection of work. I'm proud to be hung in such company.

Please join us if you can, Saturday, December 5 for the Opening Reception, from 4pm to 6pm.

All the works are for sale and almost all are priced at under $400 (many under $100) to make the show as accessible as possible to new art-buyers or to people shopping for gifts.

In any given moment, part of me is considering the world in front of me, and part of me is dreaming. Perhaps this is the root of the multiplicities in my work.

As a fine artist influenced by years of work in theatrical technical production and design, and before that as an architect, it is unsurprising that I find myself constantly exploring the interplay of positive and negative spaces, solids and voids. Emotionally, I am engaged by color and movement, a pleasure found in the quotidian and the sublime, a sense of wonderment and vastness in the world. When I work, I am equally engaged in the technical processes and the expressive options open to me By overlaying multiple images in the same space, or exploring the same image across multiple media, I begin to create a sense of how I occupy the world.

I’m influenced by 18th century Japanese stencil work and printmaking, and by 19th century European iron-work. I’m inspired by 20th century surrealist painters, and by 21st century graffiti stencil artists—the big names who have crossed over into the gallery world and the completely anonymous artists whose work I see daily. All of these sources and more conspire to inform my explorations into edge and shape and color, subject and mood.

I hope you will enjoy the works on these pages, and that maybe they will create for you, as they do for me, a space to enter and occupy, with your own dreams and explorations.
