“To inspire my work, I wanted to suit up, sit in a car, and see the track from a driver’s view to capture that sense of adrenaline and speed. I walked away reminded that art needs to be surprising, push the edge and be a little dangerous – just like racing”.

Even though I’ve been using PhotoShop for years for digital imagery, archiving and licensing work, recently I’m really working to integrate it into the physical process of creating my fine art. If you see something new in my paintings, it may result from my ability to enhance my work digitally.
Weathered dreams ready to envelope future interiors

Just finished naming my new set of wallcovering – weathered dreams. The screen work is more distressed in this collection and really capture a sense of antiquity that adds a veiled softness. I loved the idea of having my typical mythological story weathered but still preserved. It’s inspiring a new coordinating fabric collection as well. Email me if you want to see samples.

Just back from Miami without a suntan where I attended Art Basel with Evan Lurie from the Carmel gallery. I was excited to see more art galleries in one space at the same time than in NYC over an entire week of wandering. But I felt a tiny bit depressed that the city had turned the art community into what truly felt like a giant trade show. Had fun meeting Chuck Close and Jim Rosenquest at the Pace Gallery booth. Not only was this networking great, but I got an idea for my next East Coast show.

I’ve been hunting south of Canal and East of Chinatown for the perfect new spot to take a bite out of the big apple. Can’t wait to move into my new digs in NYC. Rent prices look better than I expected …maybe the only good thing to come out of the recession.
It’s so hard to keep secrets

I’m super excited about my new “fast” project. The main art is done, and the fun is about to begin. I can’t wait to announce this huge honor that had me in an “adult onesie” and required a helmet.
