It certainly has been quite the year since we had my last art show back in 2020. Quite frankly that is an understatement!  So many friends and family were impacted during a time that was relentless in its quarantining and isolation.  No schools, no parties, no football or basketball games.  At times it seemed as if we were living on another planet.

For me artistically I was spared.  I have never had more opportunity to spend time in my studio, exploring, dreaming and creating.  Now that the vaccine has taken hold and a kindling of new hope to normal is on the horizon we are preparing to debut my first show for 2021.  "Awakening" is an appropriate title.  We're on the cusp of daylight savings time and those extended hours and the warmth of Spring's temps and colorful blooms could not be more inspiring.

I have a bounty of new transitional landscapes and contemporary paintings that explore the all the boundaries of my palette.  Since I transitioned from watercolors to acrylics there is an air of freedom of being an amateur once again.  I sit at the throttles so to speak and open it up, wide open.  No fear, simply diving into a realm of inventiveness and originality.  

Over the final weeks there are dozens of paintings that are hibernating from months of sitting in wait and they will debut this coming May 20 -22.  I would be honored if you would join me during that time as we open up the Studio and celebrate a new "Awakening".
