About my Artworks:

My “relics” are built from wood. Some of the surfaces are solid wood, typically poplar or alder. The back panels are usually Baltic birch plywood. If the “frame” area of the piece looks like distressed metal, then the surface is HDF (High Density Fiberboard). Typical woodworking glue and assembly and techniques are used in the construction of each piece.  The are designed and built to be collectible and last inde...

I just finished this piece recently. Titled, Periodic (ts'at'aan), it is Acrylic on Wood and is 2" x 14 1/2" x 16. A  new experiment here: first, if you look in the background of the piece you can see a gold iridescent pattern. I laser cut a radial patten from some card stock and airbrushed some iridescent gold on my traditional background. I then clear coated it a few times. The result is an almost hologram like effect with the gold. I'll need to pursue this...

Here's a more formal style invite.

I'll have a few pieces included in a group show at Lynn Hanson Gallery for the month of October. The exhibition is titled" "Best from the Best".

I had a successful morning today out on Puget Sound with a 3 lb - 22" pink salmon.

One of the fun parts of being in Venice is just wandering. On one such occasion we stumbled upon the Iranian Pavilion while out and about. Well I thought this to be the main Iranian location, it was in fact an exhibition sponsored by the Parasol unit of London.The Spark is You, is sponsored by the UK-based Iran Heritage Foundation and Iran Society. It appeared to be an official biennale event, but I'm not 100% sure about that.

I do know it was difficult for the...

If you're not familiar with the layout Venice Biennale, the are two main compounds; the Arsenal, literally and old expansive arsenal warehouse, and the Giardini, a park like setting where various countries have built their pavilions. There are also dozens of satellite venues throughout the city as well.

Within the Giardini is a pavilion with not particular nationality exclusively represented, just a large number of invited artists for around the globe. I found...

It has been over a month since I've loaded anything onto this blog! I try to check in once a week or so. I've said before, that the blog feature of this site is as much as an art diary for me as anything else. Instagram has taken some of my attention away from updating as well. I've had a very busy June and July thus far - including a trip to Italy.

I really did not know much about the event other than it happens every two years, and it is amongst the premier a...
