Summer 2023 updates
It’s been a hot summer and I haven’t gotten around to posting any updates, so just to catch you up…. I was awarded a prize at the 93rd Annual San Antonio Art League Museum Show (April 2 – June 3, 2023)! I quickly squandered all my prize money celebrating with oldest son John and his BF in Austin on the way home. Shout out to…

The tale of a stretcher
This will probably be a long drawn out shaggy dog (because cats aren’t shaggy) story but bear with me. I was reorganizing my studio, trying to improve my storage situation. These days, a large painting for me is around 40 x 60 inches, the biggest size I can easily transport. When I was much younger, I worked ridiculously large – like 4 1/2 feet by…
Art Room Small Works Show, Friday Nov. 4, 2022
I love Small Works shows (and enter them whenever I can). The holiday season will usually see a number of them and it’s a great time to pick up some little – usually very affordable – pieces. If you’ve been following me on Facebook or Instagram, you’ve seen lots of my cat-related art. Now’s your chance to add one to your collection! I’ve got three…
Fall 2022 art happenings
I’m in a few more shows this fall – very exciting! Fort Worth Biennial 2022 at Arts Fort Worth The outbreak of Covid put the kibosh on the previous Biennial. Of the three pieces I entered for this year’s Fort Worth Biennial, I was especially happy the juror, Lilia Kudili, chose “Programming Man.” It’s a big painting and has almost everyone of my favorite things…
Summer of Art – 2022
After a busy spring (shows in Dallas, Fort Worth, and Granbury), summer 2022 is heating up as well (sorry – couldn’t resist). “Recountable” at Bath House Cultural Center in Dallas This spring I was included in a juried show at Bath House Cultural Center as part of the ART214 Juried Exhibition. Enrique Fernández Cervantes, Visual Arts Coordinator / Curator at the BHCC contacted me after…
2.62 Persons: A House; A Home; A Statistic; A Family
I’ve been fortunate enough to get into several shows this spring, including two in Dallas as part of the ART214 exhibits, and two in the Rio Brazos show in Granbury, sponsored by Tarleton State University. Closer to home, Texas Artists Coalition’s upcoming exhibit, 2.62 Persons: A House; A Home; A Statistic; A Family will include three of my paintings. To say I was shocked all…

I was surprised and pleased to be notified I got *two* pieces accepted in this year’s ART214 Juried Exhibition, sponsored by the Dallas Office of Arts And Culture. ART214 is part of Dallas Arts Month, a city-wide celebration of Dallas arts. “Puzzle,” which has been exhibited in Fort Worth a couple of times, will be on exhibit at the Bath House Cultural Center, at 521…

I’m happy to announce that I had two (two!!) pieces accepted to the 2021 CCAN Juried Exhibition, at the Center for Contemporary Arts, in Abilene, Texas. Show opens September 30, and will be up until November 27. This is a great venue – I had a piece in the 2019 Juried Exhibition (2020 was – well, we all know how 2020 was), and I was…

Currently (or soon to open) shows include the following: New Texas Talent XXVIII at Craighead Green Juror Christina Rees, Editor-in-Chief at Glasstire chose my painting “Untitled (news of the day)” for inclusion in New Texas Talent XXVIII at Craighead…
Spring 2021 Shows
As we slowly, carefully ease out of Covid-19 restrictions, I’ll be in several shows this spring. Most of these will have some sort of measures in place (social distancing, limits on the number of visitors, etc.) but *will be* in person, not virtual, events. 2021 TAC Small Works Show I have two small (obviously!) pieces in this show, both little cat paintings. Now through April…
