I’m thrilled to announce that Aftermath was selected to be showcased in a group exhibit at Gallery 825/Los Angeles Art Association. This artwork is in response to the atmospheric storm(s). I found intriguing debris in the Salinas River and used it to apply pigment to kozo paper. It’s a diptych – 30” x 60” on 2” cradle boards. The Salinas River, known fondly as the “upside down river,” is the longest underground river in the country, flowing both above and below ground for about 175 miles from its headwaters in the Los Padres National Forest to the Monterey Bay Marine Sanctuary.
Exhibition dates: June 3, 2023 through June 30, 2023 with the opening reception on Saturday, June 3 between 10am to 5pm. Let me know if you plan to attend the reception; perhaps we can meet.
Location: Gallery 825, 825 N. La Cienega Blvd., West Hollywood, CA
Juror for this exhibition: Walter Maciel of Walter Maciel Gallery in Culver City

Artist’s Retreat at Dorland Arts Colony
I’m delighted to be attending the residency program at the Dorland Arts Colony. This is a great opportunity to work in a location that is both inspiring and free from the distractions of daily life. I’m bringing the substantial 60” x 4 yds. watercolor paper, an array of new materials along with trusted paints and brushes. Be sure to follow me on social media for photos and updates.
