The Eye Lounge intermittent weekend pop-up exhibitions highlight works-in-progress by the collective’s members. In this past weekend’s exhibition, Convergence, I had the opportunity to show my take on the idea. I don’t think of my creative process as having beginnings or ends; it’s a continuing process of folding every facet of my life into the work I make. A process informed by the things I care…

I believe in everlastingness. I never finish a painting – I just stop working on it for a while.” (Arshile Gorky)“I’m never finished with my paintings; the further…

february 18 Through the chaos of preparation, the exhibition, and sorting out its end, my studio is in shambles. I like a bit of disarray, but there’s a flash point where my brain just kinks. So, I’ve been doing nothing I should, just what happens, and this painting is what happened. Now back to the tasks at hand. First and foremost, I want to thank the folks who visited the gallery, sent their…

january 20 The opening weekend has come and gone, and I’d like to thank everyone who visited the gallery Saturday and Sunday; your support is genuinely appreciated.

nuts and bolts

#238 – january 5, 2021 With seven days until I install the show and ten until the opening, I’m working down the checklist. Frames for the large paintings arrived last week, and seeing how beat-up the box was, I thought the worst, but they were packed to survive. I’d opted for unfinished maple, and I’m giving them a light white stain finish. I don’t sign the paintings until I know they’re heading…
