Created with the intention of amplifying images taken by photojournalists in Gaza. All funds generated go directly to the photographer when possible or a fund they support. 

Paintings completed after my move in March 2020 to El Rito, NM. Some plein air, others began as plein air and were finished in the studio from memory. 

Exhibited at MoMo Gallery in Taos, NM

Intended for an exhibit in Oregon which was cancelled due to Covid. 

From September - December I was an artist in residence in Taos. It was remarkable. I was one of a cohort of 12 other creatives. The thicket paintings are from the view outside the studios HUGE window. The paintings I created varied in approach. Color studies, plein air, memory and from photos I took. All informing one another. 

2019 Waterstone Gallery Exhibit - my last Portland, OR exhibit before moving to New Mexico

Exhibited in Portland at Waterstone Gallery. These pieces  explored imposing floating energy/intuitive continuous lines over streetscapes and then repainting them using the lines as barriers. At times I imagined a butterfly flitting over the surface, over the view other times I thought of my own presence within/with the place. 

Partially funded by a grant from RACC (Regional Arts and Culture Council). The exhibit was in Portland Community College SE Campus. It represents the merging of two approaches - intuitive lines overlaid on streetscape paintings. The reference images were taken by me in the neighborhood I lived in. The small color and line studies began as a fun experiment that eventually merged with my realistic work.
