I’ve got a post up over at Mid West Capacity on a recent painting show at the University of Richmond Museum…
and there’s been some coverage in the local paper of my new show at Perlow-Stevens Gallery. Cool.
In celebration of the show here’s a shot of one of the woodblocks used to make the Quintessence Series…
i’m going to be starting a series of prints devoted to the biblical book of lamentations, chapter 3, verses 1 through 20. i’ve wanted to make a specifically biblical body of work over the last few years. i wanted an unconventional text and this is it. check it out here.
the final project will be entirely prints, with a portion of the edition bound together as artist books.
I was one of 8 Americans included in the 2009 Small Print/ExLibris Biennial in Sint Niklaas, Belgium. Below is a shot of the catalog from the show that I received today. My thanks are to Bert Menco and Chris Daniggelis, two amazing printmakers who have worked with me personally and helped me develop my own printmaking over the last few years.

Two more works. The shell and brick piece is a continuation of a group of works started last year called “Beautiful Collision” and is a reinterpretation of the elements of those previous works. The second piece is another in the Quintessence Series.
A couple more of the Quintessence Series I’ve started:
View more of these works over on my facebook album for the works.
