Tiger beetle exhibit in Lincoln, Nebraska
I was pleased to be invited to participate in "Salt Creek Environment: Local and Endangered,"
an entomology/conservation-themed exhibit at the Haydon Gallery in Lincoln, Nebraska.
The 23 artists in this show completed works featuring
the endangered salt creek tiger beetle, one of the rarest insects in the world.
This beetle, and the unique inland saline marsh in which it lives, is currently
threatened by encroaching development and habitat degradation.
Curated by entomologist Tierney Brosius at the University of Nebraska Lincoln,
the exhibit was funded in part by the Nebraska Environmental Trust, the Saline
Wetland Partnership, and the Xerces Society.
Ended July 31, 2009

Spirits Of Los Angeles at the L.A.
Municipal Gallery
in Barnsdall Art Park
Curated by Los Angeles painter Raoul De la Sota, this exhibit brought together
14 L.A. artists
who share a common interest in the unseen, and who explore,
in varying degrees, the duality of
a symbolic, non-material reality existing side by side with the contemporary
urban experience. I contributed five works to this show -- three oil paintings
at the main gallery space at Barnsdall Art Park, and two additional works
(including the watercolor to the left) that were exhibited
at the Los Angeles International Airport.

Bandini Art Gallery
in Culver City featured over a dozen of my recent works on paper
in a two-person exhibit with assemblage artist Ashley McLean Emenegger.
Called
You are here,
this exhibit explored issues of
presence, perspective, and impermanence. My contribution was a series of
watercolors that combine fictional scenes of impending
disaster with word play and dark humor.
With its growing lineup of new and established contemporary art galleries,
Culver City
has become an exciting new art destination --
a hot zone for contemporary art on the West Coast.
Come see what's happening...

About me
I have been making art obsessively all my life
in a variety of media. My latest works are
watercolors depicting puzzling dilemmas and staged
existential dramas involving local urban fauna,
which I strive to render with clarity, humor and sympathy.
These paintings are part of
my ongoing project to combine an intense, sharp-focus realism
with an atmosphere of disquiet and a sense
of the impenetrable strangeness and fragility of life.
If you have questions or comments,
please feel free to contact me.
