Fighting Against the Abyss

The Second Friday art show at The Walnut Gallery went superbly well! It was so nice having work up on the walls of a gallery again, and it was equally nice spending time just hanging out in a gallery. A friend of mine and I spent the evening strolling through the gallery and talking about…

I’m back!

Back at the easel again It has been a very long time. A lot has changed over the past couple of years. Fall out from the Pandemic forced me to shutter my studio/gallery space and focus the majority of my time and energy working a typical 9 to 5 job. For most people, thats just…

Throwback Thursday: Claudia

Today I’m going deep into the archives for a piece that I did over twenty years ago. It’s actually really cool to look back and this piece ties directly to someone who I’ve found incredibly inspirational even though I will probably have the pleasure of meeting them in person.
