SOLO MUSEUM SHOW ……. NO ROSES IN DECEMBER ……. The museum is now open and so is my solo show! It will be showing until March 31, during museum hours, so please come on down. I will be there this afternoon. I am proud to be debuting a brand new, never-seen large-scale assemblage work entitled “Division” as a part of this exhibition. At 60” by 80,” this is a really impactful piece and I am very excited to have it debut here. I’m thrilled to finally share an initial view of it with this post!
Don’t forget, I will be sharing my unique perspective on the series in an Artist Talk at the museum on January 31 from 12-1PM. A celebration with light hors d’oeuvres and a cash bar for the opening of the show will happen as a part of the overall fete for all three of the new winter exhibitions at the museum on February 9 at 5PM. A host of awesome things happening #AtTheE! So excited!

TO RECAP ABOUT THE SHOW
I am BEYOND thrilled to invite you to a 9 week solo museum exhibition at the esteemed Everson Museum of Art @eversonmuseum in Syracuse, New York — NOW OPEN. The museum’s permanent collection of over 11,000 works contains so many of my true heroes from the art world... Rauschenberg... Frankenthaler... Held... Warhol... Kruger... Sherman... Wyeth... Trova... Spero... Guston... Basquiat... And SO many more. All housed in a brutalist classic building designed by legend I.M. Pei. So, it’s a HUGE honor to show there for me.
I am exhibiting my series NO ROSES IN DECEMBER, exploring memory and loss — the 8 original works, plus a brand new, large-scale 5 foot by 6.5 foot assemblage creation on wood-cradled panel entitled “DIVISION.”

SELECTED -- MvVO AD ART SHOW

SO looking forward to it! Pictures and details as they emerge.
HONORED -- NATIONAL COLLAGE SOCIETY 39th ANNUAL JURIED EXHIBITION
I am absolutely thrilled to have my work “AS A BIRD IN A GREAT EMBRACE OF FLIGHT” selected for inclusion in the National Collage Society’s prestigious Annual Juried Exhibit. It’s a huge honor to be included in the show alongside some of the most compelling and talented artists working in the medium today. It’s an even bigger honor to be chosen from the exhibiting artists as an award winner from the group. I am humbled. Very special thanks to the esteemed jurors and the National Collage Society for both this distinction and their work to foster the art form that I love so much.
The show is officially open through September 30th. If you are in the area, it’s SO worth a visit. A thought provoking and very compelling show that I am thrilled to be a part of. I will be sharing some of my faves from the show in the coming days. That is also my very lovely wife in there as well. Her loving support is priceless.
The selected piece is from a new series entitled WESTERN GOTHIC :: PART 02 — COMING NIGHT — Exploring the interplay between affirmation and darkness in the American experience through a work by the great poet Linda McCarritson. With this second part of the series, I am also leaning into the concepts of cartomancy — the meanings behind playing cards. Cards were such an iconic part of the western experience and I feel they act as a perfect metaphor for the optimism and shadow of this archetypal chapter of the book of America.
FEATURED -- CREAM SCENE CARNIVAL -- AUGUST 2023
I am so chuffed to have my series “Western Gothic” featured in the current issue of @creamscenecarnivalmagazine entitled Wild West! I have described Cream Scene Carnival as a countercultural / metacultural oasis and this issue is an amazing example of what I mean. You have got to go see this stuff. The cadre of artists they are featuring this issue is so inspiring and the lit is nothing short of truly thought provoking and engrossing. Annnnnd, it’s still unfolding as they continue to post new material for the issue.
