fine art
I’m proud of this painting because I took a lot of chances. I tried some things that didn’t work, but I didn’t give up on the piece. And I’m glad I didn’t because it came together. Thanks to my art group for telling me when it was done.

There are things going on in space as I write this. It seems I can’t really stop thinking about that. I hope you enjoy my new painting, Escape Room.

New work creating a path for 2025. Been working on canvas. Would like to do some large loose canvas pieces. It’s been a while since I’ve worked on anything bigger than 36”x36”.
Still working on canvas right now. I am pleased with how this turned out. I hope you like it, too.
Last year at Buckham Gallery’s 40th anniversary celebration, flyers from previous exhibitions were displayed on a partition. The display included a flyer from the summer of 2004 for an exhibition titled Dancing to a Different Drummer, a four or five-person show that included my work. I remember being thrilled to show at Buckham’s old space—a place of which I had fond memories. For the life of me, though, I could not recall what paintings I had shown. My notebooks were usually good for retrieving the details of such events, but I didn’t seem to have any documentation to fall back on. I knew there had to be photos somewhere, but I couldn’t locate any of those, either. Until now. This morning, I stumbled upon a folder that contained pics from the opening. I present them below in fuzzy brilliance as I prepare to show a few paintings in Buckham’s upcoming fundraiser event in March, 2025. The kids were young scenesters, dragged to my art openings, but they usually managed to have fun. The pieces were paintings from 2003-2004. These series can be found in my galleries: scroll to the end for links.

This painting was 5’x4’ and had recently won Best of Show in the Saginaw County Art Contest.
Scenesters.
Seven is my favorite number. Here are seven pieces from the shop at different price points.
Adding this frightening theme to the series. Thank you for visiting the site. Please browse.
The space theme continues, but I’ve begun to think about the mind as a phenomenon within the universe, such as a black hole, wormhole or star.
The concept of the mind is almost as impossible to grasp as space.
