Fair and Square (Rebound) is included in the exhibition

A little late coming, but I found a write up in the Corvallis Gazette Times covering the Marine Food Webs: Drifters and Swimmers at the Giustina Gallery at Oregon State University. the link can be found here.

I'm always busy before an upcoming show. This is Superficial (Sdáng Sk'ats'gálgaang) and is acrylic on wood. Around 2" x 12" x 16".  Sdáng Sk'ats'gálgaang is Haida for two squids.

 I just dropped off two pieces at the Giustina Gallery in the LaSells Center at Oregon State University in Corvallis. The exhibition opens February 3rs and runs until March 12th. Unfortunately I cannot make the opening slated for February 6th from 5:00 to 7:30 PM.

I've been experimenting with a number of one-piece wooden "body-frames" for smaller format works such as Shwah-Kuk. This is acrylic on wood (poplar) and is around 5" x 7". This will be included in the Contemporary Realism show at Lynn Hanson Gallery in February.

A relatively small piece at 1 1/2" x 6" x 8". The wings of the bee are Plexiglass that has been engraved with the veins and structure. Acrylic on wood for the rest of it.

A little bit different direction here for a few pieces in the upcoming show Contemporary Realism at LynnHanson Gallery in February. Acrylic on wood Taax (with accents) is simply the Tlinglet word for slug. Approximately 1 1/2" x 8" x 10".

The show will be February 3rd to March 12th at the Giustina Gallery on the Oregon State University campus. More to come.

 I've been included in a group show at Lynn Hanson Gallery titled, Contemporary Realism. The show will run the moth of February with the opening on Thursday the 6th. An artist talk will be on the second Saturday, February 15th.

I've been spending some time working on some new constrruction and assembly techniques in may last few pieces. Rather than building the whole unit, for this piece, I cut, routered and painted the foot ledge, frame, upper ledge and top cornice separately. I then assembled them into the whole, added the insert, background, crab and details. 

I thought it worked pretty well, as it allows me to not have to deal with small nooks and crannies and other hard...

Two pieces sold to private collectors at the "Best from the Best" show at Lynn Hanson Gallery:

 Tantalizing sold at the opening

 Analogue sold to a collector with two other of my pieces at the closing.
