Exhibition-Altitude

AltitudeAdjustment

All 40 pieces for my upcoming show in Australia at Fyre Gallery have been completed and delivered along with two sculptures.The works are on paper and incorporate my passions for printmaking, collage and painting. The show is titled Altitude, and it reflects my love of the landscape, skies, culture, people and places of New Mexico. I will be attending the opening and looking forward to promoting Ampersand panels in workshops around Australia.

New Work

Aspen Dance 22.5"x15" mixed media on paper

Here is another piece for my Altitude show in Australia next month. Aspen Dance incorporates collograph printmaking with acrylic painting, painting on fabric and transfers. It conveys the feeling of the dance the quaking aspen leaves make and the musical score to go along with it.

EVENTS-New Gallery in Santa Fe

Soundscape III 10"x10" mixed media on panel-framed

I am pleased to announce that you may find art in Santa Fe at Weiss Fine Art gallery at the base of Canyon Road. Antonio has a small gallery on Paseo de Peralta, right across the street from the entrance to Canyon Road. The most incredible part is that it is the exact same space where I began my art career in Santa Fe many years ago. It was a jewelry wholesale shop then and I worked and lived in the space as a teenager. I went on to open a retail space on Old Santa Fe Trail with the man who hired me to work for him that summer. I have come full circle back to the same space. Amazing. Thank you Antonio. If you are coming to Santa Fe and would like to see more of my work you may still visit my studio too.

Collector's Corner

Lisa with her new painting, La Luz

I had another very special visitor to my studio recently. Lisa had contacted me that she was in town on a writing sabbatical and she was hoping to come by the studio. We made arrangements and it turns out she is from Charlotte, NC where I will be teaching. As we talked, she fell in love with this painting, La Luz. I had just rearranged some work and had only that morning hung this painting. She too has a form of synesthesia where art creates a strong physiological response. She writes about artists and now I know why. I hope to have her do some writing for me. Thank you Lisa!

I have a 10 page article in Acrylic Artist Magazine fall edition. It is all about working with acrylic gels and pastes. You may download your copy here.

Harvest the Abundance

October is my favorite month because of the cool weather, fall colors and harvest festivals. The waning light reminds me to go deep within to harvest all of the lessons that have been given to me over the summer. No matter which hemisphere you are in, we look to the equinox season as a time to balance our energy. Choose a topic that you wish to explore this month in your art. It may be air or water, and use that as inspiration for your next painting, sculpture or story. Namaste
