Both "Collections from Composting" and "Enclave" have been included in the 7th Annual ArtFirst! International Exhibition. The exhibition, presented by The University Medical Center at Princeton (Princeton, NJ), will be on display from May 3rd - June 11 2009.

I have added "The Steepness of Slopes" to the brand new 2009 folder.

I have added "On the Land" to the 2008 folder. This painting is part of the exhibition Terra Firma which will be presented at Manifest Creative Research Gallery and Drawing Center in Cincinnati, Oh. The show will run from Novermber 7th thru December 5th, with the opening reception on Nov 7th from 7-9pm.

This paragraph taken from the Manifest web site explains the idea behind the exhibition.

Manifest’s first group show and call to artists for season five will focus on interpretations of a theme not yet thoroughly explored by the gallery. Landscape can be so very widely interpreted and expressed. From the most observational depictions of geographic locations to conceptual or nearly abstract spaces, landscapes are generally considered works representing real or imagined ‘land’ or natural spaces. However, even larger scale architectural conceptions, or combinations of the natural and man-made are often categorized as such. Manifest is eager to present a wide variety of contemporary works that explore this subject.

Over 340 artists from across the U.S. and beyond submitted over 900 works for consideration to Terra Firma. A rigorous ten-person jury and curatorial process resulted in 27 works by 20 artists being selected for inclusion in the exhibit.

I have added "For the Lefties" to the 2008 folder. This left handed flip book is part of the exhibition Change for a Ten hosted by Art 180 at Virgina Commonwealth University's Brandcenter in Richmond, Virginia.

The exhibition encourages artist from around the nation to take a template supplied by Art 180 (the size of a 10 dollar bill) and draw, paint, write or use whatever medium the artist desires in order to show some kind of change that they would like to see in the community.

I have also added "On the Land" to the 2008 folder

I have added "Collections from Composting" to the 2008 folder. This piece implements a vertical drawer. Contained with in the drawer are smaller paintings (appendages) that are suspended magnetically and are interchangeable.

My painting "Address" will be on display at the Anton Art Center in Mount Clemens, MI from February 22nd thru March 20th. It is part of the exhibition "Mailed and Mounted." This exhibition is strictly comprised of 4" x 6" hand made postcards from artists around the United States.

I have added "Address", "The Bear", and "The Water (revisit)" to the 2008 folder. I have quite a few small works on paper that are complete but have yet to be documented. These first three additions are part of the more recent small pieces I have documented.

My painting "Growthplate" will be on display at the Fine Art Center on the campus of Valdosta State University from February 11th thru the 29th. This leg of the show will conclude the 2 1/2 year traveling exhibition Shifting Gears.

I will be attending Centrum’s artist residency program in mid-March. I am excited about my time at Centrum,… the residency will help me gather my thoughts about my upcoming Thesis Exhibition which will be taking place in the Washington State University Fine Arts Museum.

However, I plan on using the bulk of my residency time to create paintings/drawings that will be foundations for my post-MFA work. I feel like this will be a great opportunity and a wonderful capstone to my MFA.

For more information on Centrum you can visit their web page --- www.centrum.org

I have also added Centrum to my links page.

I added a new work today (Splice),... still working on the title, 'Splice' gives me visions of sprite and slice soft drink combo, so that title won't stick around.

I have added a couple of working drawers to conceal the appendages. This drawer element makes the work a bit more interactive. The appendages now can be concealed,... or treated like actual plants that one might move around the home or garden, depending on the desited light and temperature.

Growthplate is now on display at Evergreen State College in Olympia Washington until mid February.
