Read MoreArt Up On Gallery Walls Again
After a long and difficult road through the late winter and spring of 2020, we in upstate New York are coming out of the restrictions imposed to address the scourge of Covid-19. The downstate metro New York area, which was the hardest hit area of the country, appears to be following close behind in opening up again. Phased re-opening of non-essential businesses means art is going up on gallery walls again. I’m happy to say that Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson, NY has re-open with an exhibit entitled Natural Worlds, including 10 of my waxed Kozo pieces. The show runs through July 26. The gallery is open daily 11-5, except Tuesdays, with masks and appropriate social distancing of course. If you’re not in the mid-Hudson area, or not yet ready to gallery go in person, the show is available on line: http://carriehaddadgallery.com/index.cfm?method=Exhibit.CurrentExhibit.
Fall's Return
The crisp, bright air of autumn is returning to upstate New York, ushering in my favorite time of year and the start or our foliage season. It’s also time to announce two new shows in which my work will be shown along side a number of other artists I admire working with botanical forms. Cross-Pollination: An Evolution in Foliate Forms opened yesterday, September 7 and continues through November 3, at the beautiful Boscobel House and Gardens, Garrison, NY. Also opening shortly is A New Leaf at Momentum Gallery in downtown Asheville, NC. That show opens September 12 and runs through November 9. If you happen to be in the vicinity of either location, please stop in to take a look.
Spring's Renewal
Spring has finally arrived again in upstate New York, bringing us the blossoming trees that so warm my heart. Among my work currently on view in galleries celebrating the season is this Ruby Magnolia quad, presented as part of “In Bloom” at Sozo Gallery in Charlotte, NC. The exhibit is up through the end of May, and the opening reception is this coming Friday evening, May 10. If you are in the vicinity, please stop by.
A New Suite of Images: Acacia Trees and Wild Fennel
Acacia, No.2, 36” x 34”, pigment ink on Japanese Kozo with encaustic medium
My travels are not driven by my intentions to photograph, but without fail while traveling something sings out to say 'slow down, look more closely at this piece of our everyday world, consider its inherent wonder'. During recent travels to the Peloponnese and Puglia, it was the acacia trees that lined roads in small towns that we visited in the former and the wild fennel that grew as weeds in untended plots of land in the latter that called out to me. It was impossible not to respond to the graceful calligraphic arcs of the acacia fronds and the humorous puff balls of the wild fennel.
The result is a new suite of images, Acacia and Wild Fennel, now available through my galleries. Pieces from the suite can be seen currently or over the next few months at Kathryn Markel Fine Arts in Chelsea, Amy Simon Fine Art in Westport, Catherine Couturier Gallery in Houston, Cumberland Gallery in Nashville, and Ann Connelly Fine Art in Baton Rouge. Contact me if you’d like details.
Songs of the Sky, Revisited at Carrie Haddad Gallery
Pieces from my most recent series, Songs of the Sky, Revisited, will be presented as part of the exhibition "Photography" at Carrie Haddad Gallery in Hudson, New York, opening August 1. This new work consists of sometimes subtle, sometimes dramatic tonality shifts of monochromatic pieces of sky. With an acknowledged nod to Alfred Stieglitz's Equivalents, the series furthers my own inquiry into the possibilities of contemporary abstracted images of the sky that convey inarticulable emotion. And, like most of my work, it attempts to capture the often sublime nature and ephemeral beauty of that which surround us. The exhibition will extend through September 16. Please stop by if you are in the area.
It's Spring at Sozo Gallery
We had a sprinkling of snow again this morning in upstate New York, but my spring blossoming trees have been gracing the wall at Sozo Gallery in Charlotte, NC this month. I'm the featured artist there for April, and some of my magnolias, crabapples and dogwoods will still be on view for the next two weeks. Wish I could see them in person!

Thank You, Maitland A&H Museums!
I spent most of the month of April in an artist residency with the Maitland Art and History Museums in Central Florida. It was delightful to spend so much time dedicated to creating new work in an environment so completely different from that in which I spend most of my time. The light was crystal hard, the colors electrifyingly bright and the foliage amazingly lush. The Tabebuia trees bloomed with their golden trumpets a few days after I arrived and retained their glorious show for almost two weeks! I was so glad they graced the historic grounds on which I lived and worked. I am very grateful for the opportunity that was provided to me, and thank the very helpful and professional staff associated with the A&H Museums.
